Surrounded by family, Sylvester Stallone braved a crowd of enthusiastic fans at the Los Angeles premiere of his new movie, The Expendables 2.
 
The action star seemed in good spirits as he signed autographs, his three daughters and wife, Jennifer Flavin, stayed protectively by his side.  

It's been a month since his son, Sage, passed away and Stallone is clearly still in pain.
 
He told Jay Leno Wednesday night that focusing on work has helped him get through this difficult time.

"I think of his memory, he was a lovely boy and I'll always cherish that," Stallone said.

The Expendables 2 opens this weekend and features a who's who of action stars, including Arnold Schwarzenegger. The former California Governor was joined on the red carpet by sons, Patrick and Christopher.
