Stallone shared that Damme completely lost his cool that night and chased Seagal around.
Sylvester Stallone had a crazy party story involving two famous action stars
The ‘Lionheart’ star was fed up with Steven Seagal, telling people he could easily beat him. The Expendable star recalled a crazy incident involving the two stars at his party in Miami.
Sylvester Stallone shared “Van Damme was tired of Seagal saying he could kick his a** and went right up to him”.
In attendance, at this extravagant party in 1997, were big names such as “Willis, Schwarzenegger, Shaquille O’Neal, Don Johnson, and Madonna” recalled the ‘Rambo’ star.
But Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal stood out among them, because of the bad blood they had. The action stars gained popularity in the 80s and 90s for their crowd-pleasing action flicks.
Steven Seagal fled the party with fear
Aikido master, Steven Seagal, had a reputation for bigging himself up while knocking his contemporaries down. Van Damme finally got an opportunity to confront Seagal at Stallone’s party in Miami.
But Seagal wasn’t ready to take on anybody that night, according to Sly, who stated “(Van Damme) offered him the chance to step outside so he could wipe the floor with him, or should I say, wipe the backyard with him. Seagal made some excuse and left.”
But the iconic martial artist was not ready to take no for an answer. The ‘Universal Soldier’ apparently tracked Steven Seagal around Miami to teach him a lesson. ‘The Rocky’ actor told “Van Damme, who was completely berserk, tracked him down and again offered him a fight, and again Seagal pulled a Houdini.”
