Real Reason Celebrity Chef Nearly Lost His Mind at Sylvester Stallone’s House in Presence of Al Pacino, Arnold Schwarzenegger & a Boxing Legend Among Others

Sylvester Stallone began his acting career in 1968. However, achievements took time to come his way. He struggled for the next eight years until success knocked on his door. ‘Rocky’ which became a trendsetter, was released on December 3, 1976, across the United States, and won three Oscars. Its sequels and forays into other franchises, like the ‘Rambo’ series, made Stallone a household name.

Recently, Sly hosted a party that most of his close associates attended. It included a celebrity chef as well. In between, Sly wanted to surprise his friend, who was cooking for all of them. But as it turned out, the entry of one of the guests left the latter stunned.

Sylvester Stallone invites the world-famous chef Guy Fieri

New York-based US Weekly, a magazine dedicated to celebrity news and pop culture, caught up with famous chef Guy Fieri.

Guy Ramsay Fieri, more popularly Guy Fieri, was born on January 22, 1968, in Columbus, Ohio. He is a well-known chef and restaurateur who has co-owned three eateries in California, and had his name licensed to others involved in the restaurant business in cities like New York and Las Vegas. He has also hosted several food-based shows.

So, the magazine host asked Fieri, “Obviously you’ve cooked millions and millions of meals over the years and I know that you you know your um friends with a lot of different people. But is there a celebrity or a friend that you’ve cooked for that ever made you nervous that you were like oh my God I don’t know if I’m gonna get this one right!”

The Emmy Award-winning chef, who won widespread acclaim during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, narrated, “It was the moment I mean I I didn’t know if I was gonna make it, so I get invited over to Sylvester Stallone’s house.”

He then recounted meeting Stallone at an Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills. Fieri’s burger wowed the matinee idol. 

When Guy Fieri served the method actor par excellence

So later, when Sly invites him to his home, Fieri agrees only on a condition that he cooks for all. He continued, “so anyhow I’m there, and I’m cooking in Sly’s house and Schwarzenegger’s there and Sly’s there and uh uh Michael Strahan and all these guys Sony and Sugar Ray Leonard.”

Then all of a sudden, Stallone told him to hold on. Curious, Fieri soon learned that someone ‘big’ was coming. As reported by US Weekly, Fieri said that he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Al Pacino walk through the door. A huge fan, Fieri couldn’t believe his luck. So after Stallone introduced him, the celebrity chef served The Godfather star in the kitchen.

He said, “I cook it up for him and I serve it and I give it to him he’s sitting in a rolling chair like this at a at a table in the kitchen and he takes a few bites and I am just I mean I don’t know what to do and I said uh Al how is it and he looks up and he goes, ‘Woo!'”

It was an out-of-the-world experience for the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives host. Pacino’s humility and persona impressed him visibly. 

By the eighties, Sylvester Stallone stood shoulder to shoulder with other industry stalwarts, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Pacino, and Bruce Willis, to name a few. Of course, they shared professional rivalry during their heydays. But over the years, as they grew and aged together, close friendship and bonding replaced it.
