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+.
