YO, Rodin! Here's your Thinker, right here! Sylvester Stallone goes for the statuesque look on Vanity Fair's November cover, posed in deep, naked thought atop a large stone.
So much for flexing those intellectual muscles, though.
Sly, who paints and dabbles in poetry, has apparently given up his bid to be taken seriously as an artist.
''I'm resigned now to doing things that I think befit the image and not trying to break type as blatantly as I have before,'' said the 47-year-old action hero, whose latest movie is Demolition Man.
Meanwhile, even more of the former Italian Stallion is on display on the pages of Ciak, an Italian film magazine which boasts an apparently purloined full-frontal nude shot of Sly.
A Vanity Fair spokesman said: ''Theirs is a stolen shot off a set. Ours is an Annie Leibovitz work of art.''
