Rocky star Sylvester Stallone has compared himself to a "tiny fairy".

The Hollywood star, who found fame with a number of action movie roles in the '70s and '80s, insists he is nothing like his big screen persona.

Speaking on Craig Ferguson's US chat show, he said: "I'm a tiny fairy."

The actor also revealed that he would like to take a role in a sequel to Hugh Grant's romantic comedy Notting Hill.

"I would love to do something like that," said Stallone.
