Sylvester Stallone kept his cool as he came within seconds of getting a parking ticket on Wednesday.

The 72-year-old was spotted calmly walking back to his illegally parked Mercedes after visiting a luxury jewelry store in Beverly Hills.

On returning to his car, an onlooker saw the action hero smile and shook the hand of the parking enforcement officer before hopping into his car.

Sly looked in great shape in a black tank top that showed off his tattoos and a Nike tracksuit.

The Rambo star completed his athletic look with some blue sneakers.

Meanwhile, Stallone’s fifth installment in the iconic franchise Rambo: Last Blood is scheduled for a September 20, 2019 release.

The actor first played the Vietnam veteran John Rambo in 1982 and the upcoming movie will see Rambo’s path cross with a Mexican cartel.

The former soldier has been working at a ranch, but when the daughter of one of his friends is kidnapped, he crosses the American/Mexico border and finds himself up against one of the country’s most violent organisations.

Stallone was initially expected to direct the movie as well as star, but that’s not now believed to be the case.

John Rambo was the lead character in the 1972 novel First Blood, written by David Morrell. The book was adapted into a film of the same name in 1982.

The franchise then spawned sequels Rambo: First Blood Part II in 1985 and Rambo III in 1988.

Whilst the former was a box office hit, the latter of the two flopped when it hit screens, and the character subsequently lay dormant until Stallone revived him for a 2008 movie simply entitled Rambo.

Stallone recently worked on another franchise, Creed II, the follow-up to Rocky spin-off Creed, and last year began filming Expendables 4, despite previous speculation he’d quit the series.

See ya! Sly waved to onlookers as he headed off in his car
