Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Arnold Schwarzenegger explains bitter feud with Sylvester Stallone
Caption: Arnold Schwarzenegger has explained how he resolved his issues with fellow action star Sylvester Stallone. The 77-year-old Austrian star rose to prominence alongside Stallone, 78, in the 1980s by appearing in hit movies like Terminator and Rocky respectively. But the boys became bitter rivals - only to resolve their issues when they realised they could make more money as a united front. Appearing on Andy Cohen's SiriusXM radio show this week, Schwarzenegger opened up about his rivalry against Stallone, saying: ”We hated each other. We were kind of attacking each other and doing nasty things and saying nasty things about each other and all these stupid things.” The men managed to resolve their issues by realising that their combined star power could benefit them both. Schwarzenegger explained, "All of a sudden I started working with Robert Earl and Keith Parish to create the Planet Hollywood franchise, those restaurants.” "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?’”. The star soon realised that working together made more sense - and before he and Stallone knew it, they were building a success. ”At that point I had grown out of my craziness... Sure enough, we made it work… Bruce Willis became part of Planet Hollywood, Whoopi Goldberg became part of Planet Hollywood, Chuck Norris. It really was kind of an international cast.” Soon after, Planet Hollywood became a buzzy hit in the 1990s as A-List stars flocked to the venue, generating huge revenue. The company still exists, but experienced financial issues at the end of the 1990s and the star sheen subsequently wore off.
