Stallone dreads his daughters dating

Sylvester Stallone has confessed that he is going to find it hard to come to terms with when his daughters start dating.

The action star is father to ten-year-old Sophie, eight-year-old Sistine and four-year old Scarlett, but plans to scare away potential suitors using his Hollywood tough guy image.

According to Contactmusic, he admitted: "I know I cannot hold on to them forever, but I will as long as I can. I pity the first boy to knock on the door for a date. I'm gonna buy 10 more Rambo outfits just to make sure they're too scared to put a foot wrong. They will probably all run a mile, which suits me just fine."

The actor continued: "I know I won't be able to help myself playing the worried dad. My girls were born with the flirt gene. It's very funny, but it also worries me about what a handful I will have in a few years time. I know it's stupid - I just don't want them to grow up. I love my family. I can't imagine life without them all in the house."
