They hated each other.
Now they love each other.
Thats the storyArnold SchwarzeneggerandSylvester Stallonecopped to this evening during an interview onThe Graham Norton Show.
Sylvester Stallone and Arnold SchwarzeneggerDeadline
That ended in the late 1990s.
Having both invested in the Planet Hollywood restaurant chain, the two found themselves traveling together to various openings.
That brought them together, and they have since become fast friends, often collaborating on projects.
It got out of control, and we tried to derail each other.
He is a great human being, and we are now inseparable, Schwarzenegger said.
What caused the earlier hatred?
It dates to the 1977 Golden Globes, where they were seated at the same table.
Stallone lost in five of six nominated categories, while Schwarzenegger won the New Star award.
The two constantly sniped after that.
Schwarnezenegger struck a nerve when he alleged that Stallone used body doubles in a number of his films.
But all is now fine.
Stallone even attended Schwarzeneggers inauguration as California governor.
And hes finally giving credit to his one-time hated acting rival.
In a June interview, Stallone praised Schwarzenegger.
He just had all the answers.
He had the body.
He had the strength.
That was his character.
