He is a living legend with a career spanning over five decades and 85 film projects.
But surely Sylvester Stallone has never come across something as terrifying as himself on set.
The 74-year-old actor took to his Instagram on Wednesday morning to share a bizarre video of a prop of his head being held on a pole by a production assistant.
Very interesting: Sylvester Stallone took to his Instagram on Wednesday morning to share a bizarre video of a prop of his head being held on a pole by a production assistant
Lifelike: The prop looked exactly like the A-list actor with a grey beard and long locks
Sly snuck behind the PA who had the prop which looked exactly like the A-list actor with a grey beard and long locks.
He said: ‘Uh excuse me. I think you have my head on a stick. Oh my god.
‘I have never looked so good. Oh my god!’
‘Uh excuse me. I think you have my head on a stick’: Sly snuck behind the PA as he recorded the humorous video
Funny: The PA had a laugh
‘I have never looked so good. Oh my god!’: Sly said
The PA let out a big laugh as the star made the big joke before walking into a trailer with the ghastly prop as the actor turned the camera on himself.
Sly captioned the video to his 12million followers: ‘Always try to keep your head on straight… #SAMARITAN THE MOVIE #MGM’
The action man has been very active on social media on set of his latest flick as he posted a video to his Instagram Stories on Friday while on set of Samaritan.
Wow: The prop was very detailed
Ouch: There was a bit of blood that could be seen on the temple of the prop

The Rambo star appeared atop a pile of rubble and broken wood, covered in dust and dirt with a (fake) bloody brow.
‘So, here we are again,’ Sly began.
He then patted the top of his head, which created a cloud of even more dust.
‘I’m not really this grey, and it’s not dandruff,’ he continued. ‘We’re in this scene, I just got pretty totaled.

‘And as you can tell’ — here, he panned around showing the debris, chuckling — ‘…you would think I would have learned by now not to do my own stunts.’
Then, an almost wistful look comes over the septuagenarian action star’s grisly features.
‘But old habits die hard,’ he reasoned.
In the thick of it: The Rambo star appeared atop a pile of rubble and broken wood, covered in dust and dirt with a (fake) bloody brow, to announce that he’s still doing his own stunts
‘Sly panned around showing the debris in which he was sitting, and chuckled: ‘As you can tell… you would think I would have learned by now not to do my own stunts’
Then, Stallone proceeded to pick up a nearby sledgehammer.
‘Right? Right,’ he concluded, then giving a curt little thump of the sledgehammer in a manner not entirely unlike Thor.
The day prior, Sylvester posted a selfie to his Instagram feed, from the back and again featuring the sledgehammer – which may be his character’s weapon of choice in the new flick.
He captioned that still image with, ‘Working hard to make it work! Going extremely well…’
Samaritan, also starring Orange Is The New Black’s Dascha Polanco, tells the story of young boy who ‘learns that a superhero who was thought to have gone missing after an epic battle twenty years ago may in fact still be around,’ according to its IMDb page.
The flick is expected in June of next year.

Stallone, meanwhile, started his screen acting career in 1969, first getting bit parts like ‘stud’ and ‘subway thug’ in the early Seventies.
He broke big, of course, with 1976’s underdog classic boxing film Rocky, which scored him two Oscar nominations, for Best Actor as well as Best Screenplay.
Almost 40 years later Stallone defied the odds, and earned a third Academy Award nomination for again playing Rocky Balboa in a supporting role in the 2015 film Creed.
In the role of his career, so far: Stallone broke big with 1976’s classic boxing film Rocky, which scored him two Oscar nominations, and almost 40 years later he earned a third nod for again playing Rocky Balboa in a supporting role in the 2015 film Creed; seen here in 1985’s Rocky IV
