Feel the burn: Tough guy Stallone gets stung by the sun
Updated 16:44pm on 4 Jul 2008
He's famous for his hardman roles and for beating the bad guy no matter how many times he gets knocked down and veers towards defeat.
However it seems that even action man Sly Stallone needs a good layer of suntan lotion in the summer heat.
Grimacing with discomfort, the 61-year-old stepped out at the Planet Hollywood headquarters in Las Vegas sporting an angry red face and neck.
Suffering: Sly tackles an array of baddies with ease in his films but sunburn appeared to be giving him real grief
And unless he was suffering extreme embarrassment, it looks like the Rocky star spent too long basking with no protection.
Usually a buff and tanned Italian stallion in his film roles, the actor cut a different figure with his ruddy, sore-looking face.
We've seen him as Rocky, Rambo and even Judge Dredd but the lobster look is a new one for Sly.
Lets hope he gets some after-sun on it and and is more careful next time.
Despite his discomfort the actor smiled through the pain in Las Vegas
