In a film featuring some of the most famous screen stars, there’s undeniably going to be some hot competition to grab the limelight.
But as the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren and Jason Statham turned out to the London premiere of their new film, The Expendables, it wasn’t each other they had to worry about.
In fact the trio had a new rival in town in the form of Katie Price, who ensured all eyes were firmly fixed on her as she joined the red carpet contingent, which included members of the British military.
True to form, the glamour model made certain she was centre of attention as she waltzed into Leicester Square wearing a see-through black tunic dress and Lycra-style knee-high boots.
The mother-of-three then put on a show for the assembled photographers, striking a series of poses as if she had just turned up for a modelling shoot.
The Rocky star was in London promoting his new movie that he wrote, directed and appears in.
The film boasts a stunning array of muscle, including Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren, who were also on hand and posed with members of the British military.
Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis also star in the film, but were not there for the UK premiere.
The plot centres on a group of ex-SAS soldiers who battle an evil drugs baron.
Stallone, 64, said: ‘Every generation has to have a hero and this generation has the superhero, it’s evolved. But after Avatar it’s like, “Stop, let’s go back to basics”.
Stallone marched around a group of guards in bearskin hats and tried to jump up to match their height.He was also amused to hear the crowd filling Leicester Square cheer ‘Rocky! Rocky!’
Stunning former EastEnders actress Preeya Kalidas looked the part in an intricate backless dress, also attending: Lisa Snowdon went for a classic pencil-skirted dress, colourful Liz McClarnon slipped into a maxi number while singer Eliza Doolittle bared her legs in a very short pink outfit.
