The Rocky actor is opening up his family life to the public in his brand new reality show The Family Stallone, and viewers are about to discover just how protective of them he really is.
Stallone has three daughters Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20, who have already spoken about how impossible it is to date thanks to their ‘intimidating’ father.
Of course, most dads are especially protective of their daughters, but one scene from the upcoming eight-part reality series shows that Stallone really takes that to the next level.
In a clip, seen by The Mirror, Sylvester has a borderline meltdown when one of his daughters jokes that she’s pregnant.
To celebrate the A-lister’s birthday, Sistine and her mum Jennifer Flavin bake a birthday cake, but write ‘I’m Pregnant’ on top as a joke.
Stallone does not think it’s funny…
“Please turn these cameras off so I can destroy this place,” he says in a rage.
“I’m going full Rambo.”
Eventually, Jennifer thankfully manages to calm him down, but sheesh!
In another cutaway, Sistine reveals what it’s like to be raised by ‘overprotective’ and ‘quite intimidating’ Sylvester.
“Dating when you have the dad that we do is rough,” she admitted.
“The first time a boy came over to meet my parents, he’s going in for the first kiss. I was so nervous and excited.
“He looked up at the balcony and said, ‘Oh my God, what is that?’ It was my dad, standing on the balcony, backlit so you just see a silhouette.
“He’s so cinematic. This kid jumped in the car and I never saw him again.”
Sistine admitted that, now that she and her sisters are a little older, it does sometimes hurt her feelings that their dad makes ‘minimal effort’ to get to know their boyfriends.
So, you’d be forgiven for wondering why on earth Stallone decided to show his kids off to the world with a reality series since he’s really that protective of them.
Here’s how he explains it: “I’m on the road so much and I looked around and thought, my daughters are grown up.
“Wouldn’t it be great to spend some serious time with them where they couldn’t escape, where they had to be with me.”
Just keep the boyfriends out of the shot, eh?
