Boys' day out! Sylvester Stallone, 69, shows off beefcake body in grey blazer and chest-hugging shirt during lunch with Chuck Zito and pals

For decades he's shown off his beefy body in films like Rocky and Rambo.

And on Saturday 69-year-old actor Sylvester Stallone once again put on a pec-tacular display as he enjoyed lunch with friends at Cafe Roma in Beverly Hills. 

Sly, whose bulging biceps are often on show for his 886,000 Instagram followers, wore a chest-hugging polo shirt, which he teamed with a grey blazer and pinstripe pants.

He wore dark shades to fend off the California sun and sported his well-known perma-tan. 

Sly, who has an estimated net worth of $400 million, regularly dines at Cafe Roma, and left the restaurant with a white take-away bag.

The lunch menu includes plenty of protein-rich options to help fuel and maintain his ripped body, including an organic turkey breast sandwich with grilled chickory and smoked gouda, and a breaded chicken cutlet with lemon and herb mayo.

He may have been taking home treats for his wife Jennifer Flavin, a former model with whom he shares three children.  

His entourage included the actor, celebrity bodyguard and amateur boxer Chuck Zito, who dated bombshell Baywatch star Pamela Anderson in 2007. 

The actor's broad smile and good cheer is a sign that he has well and truly recovered from the Academy Awards in February, when he lost out in the Best Supporting Actor category to British actor Mark Rylance despite being the odds-on favourite.

Awkward: Christian Bale shifted uncomfortably in his seat as the action man's heart sunk 

The heartbreak could be seen in Sly's face when the 56-year-old's Englishman's name was called instead of his at the event held in the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.

Despite the disappointment, the Rocky star was a fantastic sport as he clapped for his fellow actor while seated next to his beautiful wife.

He later posted a photo of himself with Mark along with this caption: 'Congratulations on your award. ..could not go to a more consummate actor and gentlemen. It was a privilege. Keep punching, Mark!' 

Odds-on favourite: His name had practically been engraved on the Oscar trophy after he won the Golden Globe and a slew of other awards
