Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger discussed the story on The Graham Norton Show tonight.
According to Stallone, the two action stars’ constant media criticism made him believe that “even our DNA hated each other”.
The practice ended in the late 1990s. They went to additional openings together because they both invested in Planet Hollywood. That introduced them, and they became great friends and collaborated on projects over the years.
Before that, things heated up.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said, “We were rivals in the movie business, but we went too far.” Our movies required us to murder more people, have the best weapons, and look in top shape. “When it got out of control, we tried to derail each other.”

Schwarzenegger played the protagonist in all three Expendables films, while Stallone appeared in Escape Plan (2013).
