Sylvester Stallone is all about praises for his first daughter Sophia Stallone who recently faced her fears with adorable guts.

The 76-year-old actor shares Sophia with his wife of twenty-five years, Jennifer Flavin, and they have two other daughters, Sistine and Scarlet Stallone.

It is worth knowing that the 25-year-old reportedly has arachnophobia which she bravely confronted in an Instagram video showing her trying to keep it calm as an arachnid crawled on her.

The doting father of five could not suppress his delight as his baby girl handled her fear, even if it was just for a moment.

Based on the video he shared, Sophia could be seen with a tarantula being placed on her hand by a spider handler who steadied her hand for it to sit properly.

As the tarantula got in contact with her skin, she opened her mouth in shock and watched it move along her hand.

Also, the 25-year-old did not initially freak out as the handler told her he would remove it whenever she wanted him to, adding that she was living the dream upon placing the spider on her hand.

Her pleased father could be heard in the background saying it was cool while conveying his love and pride in her.

Sophia took no time in reacting to the post, which PEOPLE reported, showing she was far from over with her fears. She remarked, "I'm actually more scared of spiders after doing that…"
