Sylvester Stallone has spent much of his career carefully crafting his no-nonsense, tough-guy image. Through franchises like Rocky and Rambo, Sly became a household name, but it would appear that his gruff, often intimidating persona isn’t only reserved for his on-screen characters.
Audiences will get a candid look into Stallone’s home life with the release of his new reality show The Family Stallone, and it’s safe to say the 76-year-old’s private ongoings are sparking real interest.
Not least where his methods of parenting relating to his three beloved daughters, Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20, are concerned.
The girls have already gone on record to reveal how it’s impossible for them to date anyone while under the watchful gaze of their father, going as far as to claim that he quite literally scares potential suitors off.
Now, protective dads looking out for their daughters’ best interests is nothing new. Hell, the trope has been a staple of Hollywood films for as long Hollywood has been Hollywood.
Even so, Stallone appears to have no qualms with taking what can only be considered an old school approach to the prospect of his daughters finding new men to live their lives with.

Indeed, one scene from the upcoming The Family Stallone, set to drop May 17, has generated a particular amount of buzz, with The Expendables star proving beyond all doubt that he will guard the… ahem… innocence of his daughters strictly.
As per the Daily Mirror, the clip in question sees Stallone on the verge of a meltdown after one of his daughter’s jokingly tries to convince him that she’s fallen pregnant.
For the legendary actor’s birthday, daughter Sistine, 24, and her mother baked Sly a birthday cake. They then wrote “I’m Pregnant” on top of the cake to try and bait a reaction.
