SYLVESTER STALLONE: ‘WILLIS AND SCHWARZENEGGER WERE MY ENEMIES’
Posted by Adam
SYLVESTER Stallone used to consider Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger “enemies”.
The Rocky star admits he was “jealous” of his fellow action stars — who appear in his new movie The Expendables — and hated it when they landed bigger or better movie roles than him.
“I was very competitive with them, and very jealous if they got a better movie or script than me,” says Sly.
“That’s what made us push so hard. That’s what made us push so hard, and it’s why Arnold was so great.
“He was far more diligent than me; I was too reckless. He’s very machine-like and I did consider him an enemy. But, looking back, it was a good enemy.
“I had written Bruce and Arnold into the movie in two different scenes but, to give Bruce credit, he said, ‘Why not put us in the same room’. If you’re going to get away from Rambo, you have to have that touch of humor in there, but still I was shocked by Bruce’s ad-lib.
“He goes, ‘Why don’t you just suck each other’s c**ks?’ I thought, ‘You can’t tell Rambo and The Terminator to suck each other’s c**ks!’ I said to the guys, ‘You know what, that’s worth the price of admission alone!’”
