Arnold Schwarzenegger is looking back on his past beef with Sylvester Stallone.
During the action actors’ rise in fame in 1980, they famously had bad blood for each other.
“We hated each other,” Schwarzenegger said during his recent chat with Andy Cohen on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy.
“We were kind of attacking each other and doing nasty things and saying nasty things about each other and all these stupid things,”
The Terminator actor revealed that his friendship with Stallone began with an unexpected business venture.
“All of a sudden, I started working with Robert Earl and Keith Parish to create the Planet Hollywood franchise, those restaurants,” Schwarzenegger continued. “The next thing I know is I get a phone call from my lawyer, who was also Sly’s lawyer, he said, ‘Arnold, is there any kind of room for Sly in Planet Hollywood?’ ”
After a brief reflection on the opportunity, he remembered thinking, “That’s actually a good idea, because it could bring us together. And I wanted that. At that point I had grown out of my craziness.”
“Sure enough, we made it work,” he added.
It is pertinent to mention that the restaurant chain was launched in 1991 in New York City.
