Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro Looking Bloody and Battered on Set of 'Grudge Match'

They have both stared in iconic films about boxing, albeit many years ago.

But by the looks of it Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone still have what it takes to pack a great punch.

The veteran actors were spotted both sporting battered and bruised faces on the set of their new boxing film Grudge Match in New Orleans.

Rocky star, Sylvester, who is the younger at 66 to De Niro’s 69, looked like he had got off the lighter of the pair as he was spotted with just a small cut above his right eye.

Raging Bull actor Robert looked a little more battered as he sported a nasty gash on his nose.

Dressed in blue dressing gowns, both of actors wore shorts and their bare legs could be seen, which showed signs of aging.

On their feet they both wore boxing shoes, while Robert wore bandages on his hands.

There has already been a lot of hype surrounding the film due to the fact both of the actors have played such iconic boxers in their youth.

A Hollywood insider told the Mirror: ‘This has all the makings of a classic. Not only have you got two of the biggest names in Hollywood, but you've got the lead roles in the two most famous boxing films of all time.

‘Getting Jake Lamotta and Rocky Balboa to square up after all these years is absolute genius, and I'm sure a lot of people are very excited about the prospect of watching them slugging it out.’

Sylvester was spotted on set at the beginning of the year wearing a wig while being escorted out of what looks like a courthouse by a couple of police officers.
