Sylvester Stallone looked dapper as he posed with his The Lords of Flatbush co-star Henry Winkler and comedian Jon Lovitz as the trio filmed The Family Stallone in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.
The acting icon, 77, was delighted as he embraced the legendary Happy Days star, 77, and SNL veteran and actor Lovitz, 66.
Stallone wore a printed shirt and jeans as he posed with his pals at Mulberry Street Pizzeria for the reality show filming.
Stallone and Winkler famously starred in the 1974 coming-of-age film as street teenagers from Brooklyn.
The movie marked one of the pair’s first acting roles before they shot to superstardom, Winkler as The Fonz in Happy Days from 1973 and Stallone in the Rocky franchise from 1976.

Taking to Instagram, Stallone wrote: ‘Spending a great afternoon with my very, very long time friend Henry Winkler. Great guy , great actor , and hysterical Jon Lovitz and my very talented brother, the Frankster!’
Last August, Stallone and his wife Jennifer Flavin shocked the public when they announced they were planning to divorce after 25 years of marriage.
However in an astonishing volte-face, it emerged that they had decided to give their marriage another try after ironing out their issues.
Instead of parting ways, the pair ‘decided to meet up at home, where they talked and were able to work out their differences. They are both extremely happy,’ his rep told PageSix.
The couple share daughters Sistine, 24, and Sophia Rose, 26, and Scarlet Rose, 20, who also star in reality show The Family Stallone.
More than four decades ago, Stallone burst onto the Hollywood scene playing the eponymous Rocky Balboa, an Italian American boxer from the streets of South Philadelphia. The Rocky films would go on to gross nearly $2billion at the box office.
Stallone, who wrote the screen play for Rocky and starred as the rags-to-riches boxer in the six Rocky films as well as the Creed films, does not own the rights to his famous character.
Rocky premiered in 1976 and was met with critical acclaim. The film garnered nine Oscar nominations, winning three, including the coveted Best Picture. Irwin Winkler served as producer on all Rocky films and the newly released Creed spin-offs.
Last year Stallone became embroiled in an all out war with Winkler over the rights to the legendary boxing film franchise.
Stallone slammed Winkler and his entire family for ‘controlling’ the Rocky and Creed films, dubbing it the ‘real Rocky horror show’ in a series of social media posts.
