Sly still doing stunts at 61

Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone still insists on doing all of his own movie stunts - despite his advanced years.

The Rocky star, who turns 62 in July, refuses to let his age slow him down, and made sure he was part of the action during filming of his forthcoming 'Rambo' sequel.

Stallone spent several months filming the fourth instalment in the action series in Thailand and admits he found the work incredibly gruelling.

He says: "It was hard but I did everything but one stunt, one where I jump off a hill during an explosion.

"I really thought the stunt guy was going to die. There were so many injuries during the shooting but it made this movie a great adventure."

The new movie, simply titled 'Rambo', is due for release next month.
