The longest rivalry between Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone had been a component of Hollywood for so long. However, their rivalry turned into an awesome friendship. As they rose to fame with their great movies, they expunged all the cracked lines from their previous rivalry.
Before Halloween, Schwarzenegger and Sylvester shared a picture of them carving pumpkins with enormous knives. Meanwhile, one thing caught the eyes of their fans, which later turned into an amusing mystery.

Fans react to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stallone’s height
Taking the Twitter handle, Arnie shared his picture with Sly with the caption, “Happy Halloween @TheSlyStallone.” In the photo, Sly and Schwarzenegger kept a firm hold on their big knives while pointing them at the carved pumpkin.
On the other hand, the thing which caught everyone’s attention was their height. The 5 feet 11 inches Sly looked the same in size while standing with the 6 feet 2 inches Austrian Oak. On this one fan wrote, “Sly is standing on a box. Arnold is 6’2.” Another fan, in surprise, stated, “How the heck is silvester Stallone 6’2 now?”

Either Stallone is wearing lifts, or Arnie has shrunk. One was 6'2 at his peak, one was 5'9 at best.

I bet Stallone was trying not to use that knife on you for Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot the whole time lol (if you don’t know, Stallone took the film because Arnold said he was interested but turned it down. Arnold trolled him HARD)

Following this, another penned, “There must have been some sort of weird forced perspective to get these two so close in height.”
But the question remained, “Aren’t they around the same height??”

Apart from this, many pointed at their knife sizes. One wrote, “Maybe take a smaller knife to be a bit more precise next time.” While another wrote, “Both have grown up since 80s.. agreed to use same size knives going forward (even for carving)”
Another fan scripted the story behind the knife, “I bet Stallone was trying not to use that knife on you for Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot the whole time lol (if you don’t know, Stallone took the film because Arnold said he was interested but turned it down. Arnold trolled him HARD)”.
Meanwhile, another pointed out the lines Sylvester carved on the pumpkins, “Sly said f*** them lines.”

Sly and Arnold’s healthy competition
It was only after collaborating on movies such as ‘The Expendables that their rivalry commenced fading. Nevertheless, there was a pretty profound rivalry between the two immensely colossal-budget action actors during the era of the 1980s.
In addition, their rivalry positively impacted their vocations; it later turned into a salubrious competition. However, from time to time, they join hands to showcase their amity, which their fans relish.
