The Terrible Relationship of Stallone and Schwarzenegger that is known Two Decades Later

 

 

 

Insults, deceptions, taunts, revenge and a battle of muscle make up the trajectory of the two most successful action actors in the United States.

 

The rivalry between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone could lead to a saga if any Hollywood screenwriter investigated a bit. Only the surface of the story is known and there is material for several films: taunts, deceit, envy and a happy ending between two of the strongest actors of all time, make up a battle that came to light thanks to an article in Vulture that social networks have been responsible for bringing to the present, even conducting surveys to see which one had the most votes.

 

 

Both met in 1977 at a time when they were not yet on the same film ladder. Stallone was already Rocky and had burst the box office in the United States, while the figure of Schwarzenegger had not yet exploded. Precisely when it was a success with Conan the Barbarian he began to leave the first messages against Stallone, accusing him of using doubles in his action scenes, so comparing the two of them is something that really annoyed him.

 

Since then, taunts were common in the films in which they starred, something difficult to perceive but that the followers have taken it upon themselves to uncover and bring to our time. Thus, the fearsome Russian that Stallone faces in Rocky IV is compared to Arnold, both because of his gigantic appearance and because of the way he talks.

 

 

However, the first blow of authority in this particular war was struck by Schwarzenegger, after putting discord to forge the romance between Sylvester Stallone and Brigitte Nielsen. According to specialized American media, the governor of California used the actor to keep Nielsen away and be able to continue his happy married life with Maria Shriver.

 

The following years were a kind of Cold War, with some hits in the press, the occasional leak to foment hatred towards his rival and several struggles to get the best roles. It seemed that very hard years were ending that Schwarzenegger defined as follows: "We were attacking each other in the media nonstop. It became something so absurd that suddenly we were arguing to see who had the most muscular body, who used the biggest weapon or Who had the sharpest knife?

 

In 1992, Arnold Schwarzenegger used time, patience, and sheer ingenuity to pull off the coup, causing Stallone to accept the worst role of his life. And it is that after reading the script, the Austrian assumed that he was very bad, but decided to leak to the press that he was really determined to participate in the film. That increased the interest of the Rocky actor, who ended up accepting the role and making a production that failed at the box office and has been the subject of multiple parodies. "A worm could have written a better script," he said as early as 2012.

 

In 1993 they decided to create Planet Hollywood together, a chain of coffee shops that even had a presence in Madrid. However, when their relationship has been better it has been in recent years, with up to four films together since they appeared in Los Mercenarios in 2010, and in which they have created a close friendship. Even Schwarzenneger has visited Stallone's house for Christmas, as we have seen through his Instagram. In addition, more recently, the actor who played the Terminator had to undergo a dangerous operation in March of this year. The TMZ portal asked Stallone about the fact, and he conveyed good feelings and the desire for a better recovery from his rival for more than two decades.
