As if coming to the door of Sylvester Stallone was not scary enough, the star has revealed he dresses like his tough guy character Rambo to scare off his daughters’ potential suitors.

It is safe to say the 67-year-old’s daughters Sophia, 16, Sistine, 15, and Scarlet, 11, might have a little trouble getting boyfriends thanks to the star’s interesting tactics.

The Rocky actor told Jay Leno on The Tonight Show Thursday that he uses his character Rambo to make sure any boys interested in his daughters behave.

No touching: The Rocky actor said that he says to the boys, ‘I’m go coming for you. When you touch them, you touch Rambo’, pictured with daughters Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet at Expendables 2 premiere

During the interview, the star said: ‘I come to the door with a headband on and a butcher knife and go, ”I’m coming for you. When you touch them, you touch Rambo!”’

Admitting to being very protective of his young ladies – whom he shares with wife Jennifer Flavin – the star told Jay he has a favorite joke he likes to tell them when they ask about dating.

The actor says the only thing dating in his house is fruit: ‘Wanna date? How about a prune.’

Tough guy: The 67-year-old played the terrifying mercenary in four different movies, seen here in First Blood Part 2

Sly’s character Rambo – whom he played in four films spanning two decades First Blood , Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III and Rambo – was a gun-totting mercenary who is instantly recognisable thanks to his bulging muscles and signature headband.

The perennial action man first rose to fame as a boxing underdog in the Rocky series, and the actor is set to once again star on our screens as a boxer trying to make a comeback in new film Grudge Match.

In the film – set for release Christmas Day – Sylvester goes up against other aging boxing Robert De Niro, whose classic boxing movie Raging Bull is also a cult hit like Sly’s Rocky.
