He was recently announced as the new face of Warburton’s bread and Judge Dredd actor, Sylvester Stallone was mobbed by his fans as he filmed a commercial for the company.

Dressed in a black and orange military-style outfit, the 68-year-old Hollywood A-lister ran up and down some steps as he got involved in a slice of the action in Bolton, Lancashire.

No doubt local shoppers were stunned to see the megastar so close to home as he greeted them with a friendly smile.

Just last week, the star of Rocky and The Expendables looked rather buff as he stood in front of a host of Warburton’s delivery lorries as he posed for new promotional shots for the brand.

The face of the new campaign, the advert is set to air on television screens later this year.

It seems a rather unlikely commercial partnership, but Sylvester has appeared in a host of other adverts in time, including Ito sausages and Kirin beer.

The actor is now back in Philadelphia, America, where he is filming Creed, the latest installment of the Rocky series.

The movie, which is slated for release on January 22, is a story which finds Rocky Balboa acting as a trainer and mentor to the grandson of his fellow boxing alumni, Apollo Creed.

He stars alongside Michael B. Jordan and Phylicia Rashad in the highly anticipated new flick.

Moreover, it has been announced that the iconic hardman will star in The Expendables 4 and Scarpa.

It’s a busy time for Stallone as his next project, Rambo: Last Blood is currently in pre-production and he’ll also provide the voice of Bullet-Man in animated movie, Animal Crackers.

He is in good company on the movie, as Ian McKellen, Raven Symone and Danny DeVito are also on board with the project.

Sylvester looks far younger than his years and a couple of weeks ago he took to Twitter to share a mantra with his followers.

He wrote: ‘Be Strong Remember the INSIDES quit before the OUTSIDE does … An old boxing quote but means everything about being successful ! TRUE!’
