Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone are well-known for their epic battles on and off the screen. But little did people know that their pranks are now being passed to the upcoming generations. About a year ago, Joseph Baena, Arnold’s son, spilled the beans on how he fell victim to an unknowingly hilarious trick played by none other than Sylvester’s daughter, Sistine Stallone.
The son of a bodybuilding icon often stays in the limelight for his exceptionally shredded physique and resemblance with his father. But he once made headlines as he opened up about a hilarious incident with Stallone’s daughter.

In 2022, Joseph Baena made a special appearance on Sophia and Sistine Stallone’s YouTube channel(Unwaxed Podcast) for an interview. However, the highlight of the interview came when amidst all the conversation, the topic of a notorious party from 2022 popped up. Sistine recalled this particular party which involved everyone wearing identical pajamas, except for poor Baena, who was about to experience a night he’d never forget(or perhaps, hardly remember)!
“I was pretty drunk. They tricked me, not tricked me, but I fell into the trap,” Baena said in the video. Joseph revealed that the girls wanted to try Kamikaze shots, but the bartender ran out of shot glasses. So he resorted to serving the vodka shots in cups instead. He recalled talking to Sophia and finding out she wasn’t able to finish her drink, so Baena offered help. The same thing happened with Sistine, and Joseph being the gentleman, offered to lend a helping hand. Little did he know, he was unknowingly setting himself up for a memorable evening filled with hilarious consequences.
To maintain his composure, he decided to engage in a game of pool, his favorite pastime. However, as time passed, he struggled to play despite having expertise in the game. Looking back, Joseph realized that he had fallen victim to an unknown prank and had a tough time maintaining balance. However, this is not the first time when Stallone’s and Schwarzenegger’s names have popped up for planning and plotting.
Tricking each other, a family tradition?
While Joseph got trapped in an unintentional plan by Sistine Stallone, it seemed like things were not this simple between their fathers. In fact, the legendary acting rivals-turned-friends, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, have had their fair share of tricks. In a candid interview, Arnold recalled a time when he received a dreadful script from a movie maker. In the ’90s, Arnold was approached for a movie, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. But it had an awful script. So he devised a wicked plan to get back at his rival.
Despite being uninterested, he asked for a high movie fee. The intention behind this was to make the movie makers believe that they couldn’t afford him and ultimately hand the project over to Sly, thinking they had found their leading man. The film bombed at the box office, however, as time passed, the fierce rivals turned into great friends as they worked on movie projects together.
