Sylvester Stallone threatened to go "full Rambo" and destroy his family property when he thought that one of his daughters was pregnant.

The 76-year-old Rocky star will be appearing in his new reality TV show The Family Stallone which will feature his wife Jennifer, 54, and their daughters Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20.

The series - which premieres on Paramount+ on Thursday (May 18) - will give viewers a fascinating glimpse into the famous star and his family's work and love lives in California.

We all know that Stallone is an overprotective dad, but it seems like he had a pretty extreme meltdown after one of his daughters pretended to be pregnant, according to The Mirror.

The outlet reported that in one scene the family was celebrating the Hollywood star's birthday and amid festivities, his middle daughter Sistine surprised him with a fake "I'm pregnant" cake.

This apparently caused Stallone to lose his mind and declare: "Please turn these cameras off so I can destroy this place, I'm going full Rambo." Luckily, the it didn't last long as his wife of 26 years was able to calm him down before he managed to cause any damage.

Sistine - who is an actress and model - spoke about her famous father's behavior towards his daughters' dating lives and said, per The Mirror: "He’s very overprotective and quite intimidating. Dating when you have the dad that we do is rough."

"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," she continued. "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. Now that we’re older and in relationships, you’d think he’d want to make an effort and want to get to know the boyfriends, but that doesn’t happen. It does hurt my feelings that there has been minimal effort on his part," Sistine added.

This echoes the statement Sistine made in an interview with Today about the difficulty of dating men when your father is as "intimidating" as Stallone.

"It’s very difficult," Sistine said. "He’s quite intimidating to most, and most of the time when they come over to meet the parents, they don’t necessarily return, simply because he’s just so scary."

However, the award-winning star defended himself, explaining why he was apprehensive about meeting his daughter's dates.

"I don't trust their intentions. Because I know men," he said, before noting that his daughter Scarlet has "a really nice boyfriend" whom he likes. Scarlet agreed, saying: "He was great meeting him, and now they're best friends."

As any father will tell you, he quipped that he hoped his daughters would remain single forever, saying: "I'm hoping they turn out to be spinsters. I'm working on that. They stay home forever."

You can watch the family on their reality TV show - The Family Stallone - from May 17 on Paramount+.

Sylvester Stallone is pretty much a household name after his numerous iconic roles and plethora of action movies from his start in the industry in the 70s onwards. With the amount of huge successes and unfortunate clunkers he's directed, written or starred in over the years, it's easy to see him as one of the Hollywood elite who have an easy life. While this is likely true now, the actor didn't always have it so easy. During the early 70s, before his breakout success with Rocky in 1976, he was struggling to find work or even pay the rent, even having to spend three weeks sleeping in a bus terminal at one low point. In many ways, the underdog story of Rocky was reflected in the actor's own life at the time, as the movie was a make-or-break situation for him. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BBTW2SIxxZ3/?hl=en&taken-by=officialslystallone]] This breakout hit went on to be the highest-grossing film of 1976 and won three Oscars, including Best Picture. This started off a career in the movies that continues to this day, making sure that Stallone's children have a much easier time achieving their dreams in life. Stallone has had three marriages over the years, with two children from his initial marriage. In 1997 he married for the third time, tying the knot with the model (and now businesswoman) Jennifer Flavin, nearly a decade after they had first met. They were married in a civil ceremony at The Dorchester Hotel in London, and have since had three daughters together: Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BQgBkf-BfLR/]] Now, they're all grown up and working as models. These youngest daughters, including the 21-year-old Sophia, 19-year-old Sistine, and 15-year-old Scarlet, are often highlighted in the Instagram feeds of both their parents. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BWNFb9hAjhT/]] Despite the years he's spent in macho action movies, Stallone's Instagram is far more on the sensitive side of things than you would expect. Most of the time he's embarrassing his daughters with terrible jokes, particularly the youngest daughter Scarlet, as any good dad should do. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BMmf-2NDBtJ/?hl=en&taken-by=officialslystallone]] But outside of the lives of their mother and father, the Stallone daughters have begun to rack up their own achievements too. At the 7th Golden Globe Awards in 2017, all three daughters were honoured as 'Miss Golden Globe', as well as posing together for Harper's Bazaar in the summer of that year. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbj0j-4A6Du/]] Sophia, despite only being 21, was recently a judge on Project Runaway, and did a Dolce & Gabbana ad campaign with her 19-year-old sister Sistine. Both these girls are currently attending the University of Southern California, while Scarlet is still in high school. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BdDVsv5ghyS/?taken-by=sistinestallone]] Despite all their forays into these industries, it's Sistine that has followed her mother's modelling career the closest. She has signed with IMG models and has appeared on the pages of Teen Vogue already. Whatever they do next, it looks to be interesting - and maybe we'll be treated to some cameos from their dad on their Instagram from time to time.

Sylvester Stallone's daughters may be in their twenties, but that doesn't mean he won't stop trying to intimidate their potential love interests.

In fact, this was one of the topics of discussion as the family of five - Stallone, 76, his wife Jennifer Flavin, 54, and three daughters Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20 - appeared on Today to promote their upcoming reality TV show The Family Stallone.

It was Sistine who told the outlet that when her dates meet her famous father, they often don't reach out to her again. Speaking to co-host Hoda Kotb, the three girls opened up about what it's like dating when you have such a well-known father.

Sistine said it is "difficult" for her to date, especially after her dates meet her dad. "He's quite intimidating to most, and most of the time when they come over to meet the parents, they don't necessarily return, simply because he's just so scary," she said.

Flavin then said she is always "nice" when meeting her daughter's potential love interests, Sistine did agree but added that it wasn't always the case with her Rambo actor father, who "doesn't say hello" to her dates.

Though, Sylvester defended himself, explaining why he was apprehensive about meeting his daughter's dates. "I don't trust their intentions. Because I know men," he said, before noting that his daughter Scarlet has "a really nice boyfriend" whom he likes. Scarlet agreed, saying: "He was great meeting him, and now they're best friends."

As any father will tell you, he also jokingly hoped his daughters would remain single forever. "I'm hoping they turn out to be spinsters. I'm working on that. They stay home forever," he said.

While promoting his family's show, Sylvester spoke about how he's told his daughters to be wary of the public attention ahead of the release of their reality show. "I said, 'Your quiet time is over, and once you're exposed out there, it's out there,'" he said. "You're going to have people following you home, guys like 'Hello, how are you?'"

Sistine then quipped: "He's very concerned about our safety."

The doting father also detailed the most difficult part about his relationship with the women in his life, joking that he would "never win an argument" with them. However, he did say the "best part" about living with four women was: "They're just funny. They're outgoing. They're not silent by any means and they express themselves, which is good."

Aside from being a father to three daughters, Sylvester also has a 44-year-old son named Seargeoh, whom he shares with his ex-wife Sasha Czack. The couple had another son together named Sage, who sadly died in 2012 age 36.

Sylvester Stallone's daughter Sistine has opened up about the unconventional parenting methods her father employed when she was growing up.

The 25-year-old is one of the action star's five children as well as her brothers Sage and Seargeoh, and sisters Scarlet and Sophia.

However, growing up with a movie star for a dad - especially one known as a hard man in his flicks - meant the kids ended up having some pretty unusual self-defense training growing up.

Speaking on The Family Stallone season 2 premiere, Sistine revealed that her dad sent her off to school with a "little knife" in her backpack for protection.

She explained: "He made us practice pepper spraying each other. Oh my God, that’s so bad! He put a little knife in my backpack in fourth grade."

Now, it goes without saying that that is something no parent should ever do given the danger to others and themselves of having a knife in school, or even the risk of repercussions for simply carrying one.

The confession came about as the 77-year-old Oscar nominee made his family train with the Defense Strategies Group.

He explained on the show: "I’m not playing a game. These are the guys that have seen combat, faced death. This is the real deal."

The female members of the family were seen donning boxing gloves and throwing punches with trainer Mike, who was a former Navy SEAL, before doing some mat work while Sylvester smoked a cigar and watched.

His other daughter Sophia, 27, asked: "When am I ever going to be doing this in New York?", to which Sistine quipped: "Every first date ever!"

However, the self-defense class almost ended up with a date in itself as Sistine revealed that Mike had started DM-ing her, but added: "But I’m not his type and I’ll tell you why. He follows only girls that have really big curves and Sophia and I are like, boing," explaining that she and her sister have a "stick figure" body shape.

In the episode, Sylvester and his wife Jennifer Flavin Stallone also revealed that they were leaving their home in California in order to start over in Palm Beach, Florida, as their home felt "empty" after their kids had all flown the nest.

The couple's two eldest daughters have moved to New York while their youngest child, Scarlet, was heading to college at the University of Miami.

While Sophia and Sistine were all for the move, Scarlet was pretty sad about saying goodbye to her childhood home, adding: "I actually wanted to take over this house after you guys to raise my family."

Here's hoping she doesn't take any tips in self-defense for fourth graders from her dad when she does eventually have kids though...

Sylvester Stallone is one of the most recognisable faces in the world of Hollywood. Through his numerous iconic roles and a wide range of different action movies that he has starred in since the 70s, Stallone has made his way up through the celebrity rankings to become one of the most successful actors in history and cement his place in the Hollywood elite. Despite his fortune being estimated at the eye-watering figure of $400million, life hasn't always been easy for Sly. During the early parts of the 70s and before his breakout in the iconic Rocky series in 1976, the actor was struggling to find work and pay rent, with him even having to sleep in a bus terminal for three weeks at one particularly low point. However, the actor got his big breakthrough and began turning his life around and becoming the A-lister that we know and love in the process. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BBTW2SIxxZ3/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=embed_legacy]] Rocky went on to become the highest-grossing film in 1976 and won three Oscars, including the Best Picture. This triggered a career in the world of film that has continued to this day and has given Stallone and his family the comfortable life that they have. The actor has gone on to have 5 children from multiple marriages and two of them have begun grabbing the headlines for themselves. His daughters Sophia, 21 and Sistine, 19 are both full-time models and have been catching the eye of the press in recent weeks. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BYL-kS7Aw1d/?taken-by=sistinestallone]] [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BYgyfCDAAPU/?taken-by=sophiastallone]] In a recent article published by The Daily Star where they highlight the 'Instagram Babe of the Week,' Stallone's daughters were described as 'sizzling' and 'bombshells.' While these words were undoubtedly being used to complement the pair on their good looks, they're not exactly words that you would expect a father to use when talking about his daughters, right? Well, it appears that Stallone agrees with the paper, and was happy to share the article on his Twitter account. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/TheSlyStallone/status/955533625596014593]] "The daughters of film action hero Sylvester, 71, are bonafide second generation bombshells," the text of the article reads. "Nowadays, Sophia and Sistine are setting pulses racing with their jaw-dropping Instagram pictures." The photogenic pair has a combined Instagram following of over 1.4 million users and it's easy to see why they are so popular. However, while Stallone is understandably proud of the success of his daughters, it is a little bit creepy for a dad to be sharing an article regarding how sexy his kids are. Twitter immediately jumped on the mishap, with plenty of people tweeting their dismay at The Rocky actor. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/AsaElliott/status/955534784805199874]] [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/KevinMcCarthyTV/status/955535701214420992]] [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/AdamLee316/status/955535299559542784]] [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/JimCognito2016/status/955535143103549442]] [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/coolmma/status/955537310837346304]] [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/_ChristopherM/status/955568197083725825]] The tweet has been compared to a similar incident where Donald Trump made bizarre remarks about his daughter Ivanka. Speaking to ABC in 2006, Trump spoke about the virtues of his daughter, saying: "If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps, I would be dating her." Sly's tweet was no doubt shared innocently, but next time he should probably read the article and the headline before he decides to share something online.
