It was like a dream come true for most fans when Stallone announced that he would be casting ‘The Austrian Oak’ in his movie franchise, ‘Expendables.’ When the duo appeared on the screen together, they made sure to not disappoint the fans. Back in the day, during a talk show with Jonathan Ross, Stallone gave his two cents about Arnold’s willingness to compete in the US Presidential elections.

Stallone stated, “Arnold’s a genius. I mean, seriously…he’s had three incredible careers. He may not be able to sit there are split atoms, but he knows how to get things done.” Continuing further, he admitted, “He knows how to move people, and if they would allow him because our constitution doesn’t allow foreigners…considering the entire country’s made up of foreigners, they can’t run for president.”
