Conflict has never been so profitable for the Hollywood universe. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. Two of the biggest action actors (literally too), have competed against each other for several big screen projects. They wanted to be better than their opponent, and that made them increase their positions..
Despite their past conflict, their relationship today is very different. They are now friends. Now, they are able to chat together for ‘TMZ’, which brings them together to talk about their childhood, their families and their conflicts in the movies.
In this interview, Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted what was an open secret: “There are no two ways to say it, it was very useful in my career [su rivalidad] because I had something I could follow“. “It turned out, I finally had something that motivated mebecause it is, if I say, a competition, a threat, whatever word you want to use,” said Sylvester Stallone.
The main character of ‘Rocky’ admits that it was something like a crush, but for the worse: “As soon as I saw it, it was like a bang, two alphas hitting each other. If we walked into a party we’d look at each other for a few seconds and then ‘I’ve got to catch that guy, he’s done nothing wrong, but he will.'”
And Schwarzenegger, already famous for his work in the world of bodybuilding, was the first to break the ice: “I was the one who started all this… opening my mouth, saying stupid things, being competitive.“.

Their competition was evident in the ceremony delivering the Golden Globes in 1977, when Stallone took the award for Best Picture, and Schwarzenegger won for Newcomer. “We both won, so there was plenty of room for everybody,” said the second, to whom ‘TMZ’ moderator Harvey Levin recalled: “That’s not how I remember it.” i thought When Rocky won Best Picture, you threw a bowl of flowers at him.”, referring to the ‘Terminator’ actor.
Stallone went on to recall that that’s exactly what happened: “Of course I did it. He was sitting in front of me, and I was like, ‘Did he win Best New Actor?’ No offense, but ‘Rocky’ was a good debate. “He was very proud of himself and I didn’t think we were going to win Best Picture.
“We won and I lost it. I literally picked up a bouquet of flowers and threw it in the air, aiming for his side of the table. And everything collapsed, and he sat there with the same ‘okay’ face,” Stallone said, to which Schwarzenegger responded by declaring that it was the beginning of a war: “Now there was I have to run after him.”
The situation then is far from the one that exists now, and at this time they can respect each other. Arnold, of course, admires Sylvester’s “enthusiasm and passion”:I wish I could be as passionate about things as he is. It’s really amazing, and it has to come from somewhere because he’s a very emotional person, which I’m not.. I’m emotional, but I’m not like him. Very different in that sense.”

For his part, Stallone has pointed out that Schwarzenegger is “solid as a rock”: “It’s like a season that doesn’t change. Very organized, very calculating, very thoughtful. I’m not, and he’s right, I’m very emotional and I tend to get carried away and things can upset logic quite often.. And that’s when you make mistakes, when your heart beats your brain. It’s like a chess player, you don’t know what’s happening, but he does it. And he has a really big heart.”
