In a new documentary clip, Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed a lighthearted story from his past rivalry with Sylvester Stallone. The upcoming special, “TMZ Presents Arnold & Sly: Rivals, Friends, Icons,” explores their complex relationship.
The 76-year-old Schwarzenegger admitted to “tricking” Stallone into starring in the 1992 movie “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.” While aware of the film’s weak script, Schwarzenegger learned Stallone was considering the role.
Fearing Stallone might pursue the project if he showed interest, Schwarzenegger cleverly played a prank. He subtly conveyed his supposed interest to his agent, who then relayed it to Stallone’s agent. Schwarzenegger even spoke directly to the film’s director.
Just as expected, Stallone jumped at the opportunity and signed on. Unfortunately, “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot” became a box office flop. Schwarzenegger jokingly admitted his strategy relied on Stallone occasionally making missteps.
Social media users reacted positively to the story, with many commenting on the enduring friendship between the action stars. Some expressed excitement for the documentary, while others admired their long-lasting careers.
This news comes after recent controversy surrounding Stallone’s behavior on the set of his new series “Tulsa King.” Accusations of a “toxic environment” and unprofessional conduct towards extras surfaced online.
