Richard E. Grant once claimed he could never see himself in a role that ‘Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone would be up for’.

But the 57-year-old actor had no hesitation in showing off his enviable biceps while holidaying on Mustique, the party island where Princess Margaret used to stay. He even captioned this Twitter picture: ‘Giving Stallone some stiff competition, haha.’

Perhaps Grant, most recently seen trying to seduce Lady Grantham on Downton Abbey, is hoping for a role alongside Arnie and Sly in the next instalment of their preposterous action film franchise The Expendables.
