Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed a past rivalry with Sylvester Stallone on the “Graham Norton Show.” They were initially movie rivals, with intense competitiveness about their physique, body count, and weapon size in their films. Their rivalry escalated, attempting to derail each other.
However, their relationship transformed when they both invested in Planet Hollywood. They started promoting it together, and their fierce competition evolved into a deep friendship. Both actors achieved fame and success in the 1970s, with Schwarzenegger’s breakthrough in “Hercules in New York” in 1970 and Stallone’s success with “Rocky” in 1976.
