He may be a movie tough guy, but he’s a big softie when it comes to his family.
Sylvester Stallone, 68, posted a picture to instagram alongside his daughter Sistine on Sunday and looks every inch the proud father.
The Rocky star captioned the shot, ‘Me with my daughter Sistine who wants to be a serious model. I believe you can do it. When my children were card [sic] which I’m grateful for.’
Supportive: Sylvester Stallone, 68, looked every inch the proud father as he posted a picture to instagram of himself alongside his 16-year-old daughter Sistine on Sunday
His 16-year-old daughter is posing elegantly in flawless make-up, with her honey locks swept back into a low loose bun.
She appears to be at least as tall as her 5ft 10in famous father, although her feet are out of shot so she could be wearing high heels.
The young beauty is wearing an ultra mini metallic dress, with satin bodice and a studded detail against a backdrop
Earlier this year she told Teen Vogue she is well prepared for the fame that comes with having a movie legend as a father.

‘I have to be careful of the things I do – otherwise they’ll come back and bite me in the butt,’ she told the publication.
‘Sometimes you just want to hang out without worrying about looking your best,’ she told the magazine.
She continued, ‘I’m old enough. If I want to be out there in front of the cameras, I will be; if I don’t, I’ll stay inside.’
It doesn’t sound like she will be rushing to follow in the footsteps of the Rambo actor.
She told the publication: ‘I’m a horrible actor! I hate seeing myself talk on camera – I look ridiculous!’

Her mom Jennifer Flavin, 46, has been married to Sly for 18 years is a former model who Sistene told Teen Vogue has taught her the ropes.
‘She’s like my wingman’ she told them, ‘She’s taught me my good side, my bad side, how to walk for the runway, and how to become someone else in a certain outfit’.
The Expendables star and Jennifer, who is his third wife, have three daughters together including Sistine who is the middle child between 18-year-old Sophia and Scarlet, 12.
Meanwhile, Sylvester has recently been busy filming the seventh sequel to his hit film, Rocky, titled Creed.

He is reprising the role that made him a major Hollywood star when he was then aged just 29.
The film earned three Oscars in 1976, including Best Picture.
In the latest installment, Sylvester is joined by That Awkward Moment’s Michael B. Jordan, 28.
Michael plays Adonis Johnson Creed, the son of his former opponent turned friend Apollo Creed (played by Carl Weathers).
Rocky has agreed to train the budding boxer whose father died in the fourth sequel after a fatal knockout blow in the ring.
And for Rocky’s fighter student, it appears that his training will follow the same rigorous program that he underwent years earlier by his coach Mickey, played by Burgess Meredith.
Creed is scheduled for release on November 25, 2015 in the US.
Proud dad: Sly also shared this image of Sistine last month, captioned: ‘At the track and field event with Sistine. She is one of the fastest people in the history of her school’
