Action hero Sylvester Stallone has fought countless scary villains on screen - but he insists his most intimidating opponents are his young daughters.

The 61-year-old has been busy promoting the fifth installment of the Rambo film franchise, but his absence upset daughters Sophia, 11, Sistene, nine, and Scarlet, five, because he missed their Valentine's Day celebrations.

He says, "I got home at two o'clock on Valentine's Day morning and I was in so much trouble. I was confronted by three little girls who hadn't seen me for 18 days. That, I knew, would be the fight of my life. Forget Rambo!"
