Sylvester Stallone has devoted much of his career to cultivating his tough-guy persona. He rose to fame thanks to movies like Rocky and Rambo, but his fierce, frequently threatening demeanor isn’t limited to his on-screen personas.
With the debut of his new reality series, The Family Stallone, viewers will get an honest peek into Stallone’s family life. It’s safe to say the 76-year-old’s personal affairs are generating a lot of curiosity.
Not least, when it comes to how he raises his three cherished children, Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20, the sisters have already spoken about how they can’t date anyone while their father is around, even going so far as to say that he essentially scares potential partners away.
It is nothing new for protective fathers to watch out for their daughters’ best interests.
Even still, Stallone seems unconcerned with adopting what can only be described as an antiquated stance against the possibility of his daughters finding new partners in life.
One scene from the upcoming The Family Stallone, scheduled to arrive May 17, has drawn a lot of attention, with The Expendables star demonstrating beyond a shadow of a doubt that he will fiercely defend the… eh… innocence of his daughters.
Stallone is reportedly on the edge of a breakdown in the clip mentioned before as one of his daughters jokingly tries to convince him that she’s become pregnant, according to the Daily Mirror.
Sistine, 24, and her mother created a birthday cake for the renowned actor on his occasion. Then, they inscribed “I’m Pregnant” on top of the cake to provoke a response.
And Stallone undoubtedly responded. The Rocky Balboa actor quickly loses his cool in the video.
He asks for the cameras to be turned off so that he can demolish the building.
When the 76-year-old learned the whole thing was a fake, he eventually became calm, but it’s safe to assume he didn’t find the joke hilarious.
In the same episode, Sistine continued to go into great depth about the challenges she and her sisters had when dating.
The 24-year-old remarked, “Dating when you have the dad that we do is rough.”
“The first time a boy came over to meet my family. I felt both anxious and enthusiastic.”
Stallone claimed he had a solid cause for allowing cameras inside his house to record and examine his family life.
Although all fathers will always be wary about their young daughters, is Stallone going too far here? Please share your opinions in the comment section.
