‘Rocky’ star Sylvester Stallone and 8-time Mr Olympia winner Arnold Schwarzenegger, widely regarded as the greatest bodybuilder of all time were always intense rivals. It is in the later part of their life that they shared the screen together in several movies like ‘Escape Plan’ and ‘The Expendables’ which turned the animosity into a good friendship.
Before that, both ‘hated’ each other. The reason was the box office. Both were actors of the same genre which set them in direct competition. In an interview with Forbes, Stallone clarified that their relationship was not healthy because both were highly competitive. But now things have undergone several changes.
