Wife Jennifer Flavin and daughters Sophia, Sistene, and Scarlet also in London for action flick premiere
Veteran action star Sylvester Stallone ensured the London premiere for The Expendables 3 was a family affair this evening, accompanied by wife Jennifer Flavin and their three daughters.
And even though their 68-year-old father threatened to steal everyone's gaze by stepping onto the red carpet wearing a natty green jacket, daughters Sophia, Sistene, and Scarlet demonstrated they were perfectly comfortable in front of press' cameras themselves.
"They're just here to see Kellan [Lutz]. Can you blame them?" he joked.
He said: "I grade the quality of a film by the intensity of the injuries. When I shot Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, I never got hurt.
"Through Rambo and The Expendables, I break my neck and my spine and I dislocate both shoulders.
"In this one here, I end up really taking a fall on my back and had some metal put in there, so if you hear any squeaking, it's not my shoes but my back. But I'm getting better."
Also appearing at the premiere were co-stars Wesley Snipes, Jason Statham and Kellan Lutz.
Statham, who returns as Barney's right-hand man Lee Christmas, said the massive cast amps up the third film from the previous instalments.
"The cast speaks for itself. Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Wesley Snipes, the list goes on," he said. "It's hard to put that all on screen but Sly has a unique way of doing it."
The third film, with the tagline "New team, new attitude, new film", sees the Expendables passing the torch on to a new generation of action stars including Twilight hunk Lutz, boxing champion Victor Ortiz and MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter Ronda Rousey.

Statham: Fixing up, looking sharp
Lutz, best known for playing vampire Emmett Cullen in the Twilight films, said: "Working with all the heroes you grew up watching, I loved it. Sly really took me under his wing and said, 'Just have fun'."
Statham added of the newcomers: "These are the best fighters in the world - that's part of the requirement to get a job with Sly."
Snipes, who got the biggest cheers for making his big-screen comeback in this film from the crowd, said making it was a "blast". And he joked about his character Doc Death having a love scene in the next movie.

"But not with the Expendables though - that would be too kinky," he added.
An American volunteer cardiologist was shot dead in Pakistan on Monday, a member of his minority Ahmadi community said, in the latest attack on a group that says it is Muslim but whose religion is rejected by the state. Mehdi Ali Qamar had taken his wife, young son and a cousin to a graveyard in Punjab province at dawn to pray when he was shot, said Salim ud Din, a spokesperson for the Ahmadi community. "He came here just one or two days ago to work at our heart hospital, to serve humanity and for his country," Din said. "Two persons came on motorbikes. They shot 11 bullets in him." Qamar was born in Pakistan but moved abroad in 1996. He had returned to do voluntary work at a state-of-the-art heart hospital built by the Ahmadi community in the eastern town of Rabwah.
