He defends the ultra-violent new Rambo which critics are saying is the most violent film in years: "It's very violent, but I thought I can't soft-pedal it, it's a real war film."

And reveals there are more Rambos to come: "I'd love to go back to Rambo again, you don't get to play that kind of character very often. At first it was stereotyped but now I'm really proud to have done it. It's timely, ten years ago it wouldn't have been right."

Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone takes to the sofa, along with Skins star Nicholas Hoult and mezzo-soprano sex symbol Katherine Jenkins. With music from the Guillemots.
