His army of fans think he is a cut above the rest.

But a friend of Rambo star Sylvester Stallone clearly did not agree as he held the beefcake at bay as he pretended to cut his hair in an hilarious Instagram photo he posted at the weekend.

No doubt his sidekick did not want the action man to draw First Blood in case he spontaneously decided to follow through a give him a trim as they larked around in a barber’s shop.

It is unlikely the Rhinestone legend will ever have the need to seek a job in the service sector however, as he has an estimated net worth of $400 million, larger thanks to his hit Rocky franchise.

The jocular jock said: ‘Giving my friend, Frankie P A little off the top. I might be the world’s worst beautician.’

 

It comes as the 69-year-old actor was spotted flaunting his manly chest as he went for a stroll in the posh Beverly Hills area of Los Angeles County on Sunday.

The handsome hunk flashed a wave at fans after he was spotted sauntering around in a tight hooded top, comfy trousers and black leather boots.

Sylvester rounded off his look with a typically brash pair of aviator sunglasses, while he wore a chunky gold watch on his bulging left forearm.

The actor’s jolly antics and happy demeanor are a sure sign he has well and truly recovered from his Academy Awards humiliation in February.

The Creed star suffered the ignominy of losing out in the Best Supporting Actor category to British actor Mark Rylance despite being the odds-on favourite.

The heartbreak could be seen in Sly’s face when the 56-year-old’s Englishman’s name was called instead of his at the event held in the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.

Despite the disappointment, the Rocky star was a fantastic sport as he clapped for his fellow actor while seated next to his beautiful wife Jennifer Flaven.

He later posted a photo of himself with Mark along with this caption: ‘Congratulations on your award. ..could not go to a more consummate actor and gentlemen. It was a privilege. Keep punching, Mark!’

Odds-on favourite: His name had practically been engraved on the Oscar trophy after he won the Golden Globe and a slew of other awards
