‘Weren’t You Pregnant in That Film, Arnold?’: Sylvester Stallone Got Revenge on Schwarzenegger With One Brutal Insult

‘Rocky’ star Sylvester Stallone and 8-time Mr Olympia winner Arnold Schwarzenegger, widely regarded as the greatest bodybuilder of all time were always intense rivals. It is in the later part of their life that they shared the screen together in several movies like ‘Escape Plan’ and ‘The Expendables’ which turned the animosity into a good friendship.

Before that, both ‘hated’ each other. The reason was the box office. Both were actors of the same genre which set them in direct competition. In an interview with Forbes, Stallone clarified that their relationship was not healthy because both were highly competitive. But now things have undergone several changes. Now, whenever they recall their rivalry they feel free to share how ridiculous things were between them off-screen.

In a recent interview with Fox News, the 76-year-old shared a very interesting incident that shows how hostile they were to each other.

What did Schwarzenegger do that led Sylvester Stallone to seek revenge?

In the morning show, Stallone sat down with Fox News reporters to promote his crime drama series, ‘Tulsa King’. While discussing, one of the interviewers, who was a big fan of Stallone claimed that the veteran has played the role of a gangster before. He even named the movie but he could not recall the right name.

Correcting the movie name, Stallone said, “Oh! you mean ‘stop or my mom will shoot’, thank you for bringing that up. Schwarzenegger instructs me to do that. This is one of those things I ego. Why am I in this? There is a scene that says would you mind wearing a diaper thing. I’m gonna kill Arnold. I’m gonna find him and attack him.”

According to Stallone, Schwarzenegger was a prankster. He played with him. He made him do a movie that he didn’t want. In front of Stallone, he acted as if that movie was most important for his career but inside he was persuading Stallone to go and sign the project.

Stallone fell prey to Schwarzenegger’s words and signed the movie but later when he realized he took revenge.

“Once I got it I was like I’m such a turkey. It’s not even thanksgiving folks. I’ve to live with this my life. But again then I said, ‘Weren’t you pregnant in that film, Arnold?” said Stallone.
