Arnold Schwarzenegger admits doing 'nasty things' to Sylvester Stallone until one good idea ended their feud
Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted having mutual hatred for Sylvester Stallone while both actors were emerging stars in the 80s. The famous duo's feud fizzled by the 2000s, but the former governor of California admitted saying "nasty things" about Stallone early in his career. "We hated each other. We were kind of attacking each other and doing nasty things and saying nasty things about each other and all these stupid things," Schwarzenegger told Andy Cohen on Sirius XM's "Radio Andy." Stallone and Schwarzenegger mended their relationship prior to starring in the 2013 movie "Escape Plan" after their big business venture. "All of a sudden, I started working with Robert Earl and Keith Parish to create the Planet Hollywood franchise, those restaurants. "We hated each other. We were kind of attacking each other and doing nasty things and saying nasty things about each other and all these stupid things." "The next thing I know is I get a phone call from my lawyer, who was also Sly's lawyer. He said, 'Arnold, is there any kind of room for Sly in Planet Hollywood?'" he told Cohen. After thinking about the proposal, Schwarzenegger recalled admitting it was "actually a good idea, because it could bring us together. And I wanted that. At that point, I had grown out of my craziness." The Planet Hollywood restaurant chain was backed by the two stars and other investors. They launched their first restaurant in New York in 1991. Schwarzenegger said he and the "Rocky" star "made it work" when it came to business. "And Bruce Willis became part of Planet Hollywood, Whoopi Goldberg became part of Planet Hollywood, Chuck Norris. … It really was kind of an international cast." Stallone discussed his side of the feud in "TMZ Presents: Arnold & Sly: Rivals, Friends," which aired in 2024. He recalled thinking when Schwarzenegger emerged in Hollywood he finally had a bit of competition. "Finally, something to motivate me. Because he is, dare I say it, competition, a threat, whatever word you wanna use. As soon as I saw him, it was like bang, two alphas hitting," Stallone said. Schwarzenegger said, "There's no two ways about that: He was very helpful in my career because I had something that I could chase." During the special, Schwarzenegger also revealed he tricked Stallone into taking a part in the 1992 film, "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot." Anticipating the movie would flop – it did – Schwarzenegger and his agent concocted a plan. "First of all, when we talk about the movie, I didn't talk him into [it] because I never talked to him about it," Schwarzenegger said. "But it was very clear that his agent was telling my agent, 'Look, Sly is interested in doing it, but I don't know if it's the right thing for him. Let me know what you guys are thinking.' And then my agent said, 'Well you know, Arnold really loves it. I think it's fantastic.' "So, then I called Roger Spottiswoode, who was the director, who just did the James Bond movie. So, he was kind of the hot director [at the time]," Schwarzenegger recalled. "Oh my God, oh my God," Stallone said as Schwarzenegger recounted his process. Stallone said on camera he hadn't known the intricacies of Schwarzenegger's plan. "You talked to my director?" a stunned Stallone asked Schwarzenegger. "Yeah," Schwarzenegger said. "Oh my God," Stallone replied. Despite their past grievances, the two are pals now, although Stallone admitted he is "stuck" with a stain on his resumé because of Schwarzenegger's sneaky move.

Stick trailer: Owen Wilson seeks redemption through young prodigy in sports comedy seres
Apple TV+ on Thursday released the trailer for their sports comedy series titled Stick. Created by Jason Keller, who has written films like Ford v. Ferrari (2019), Escape Plan (2013) and Machine Gun Preacher (2011), the show revolves around a former pro golfer, Pryce Cahill, played by Owen Wilson. The trailer starts with a scene in a bar, where Cahill is presumably drowning his sorrows after a long day when he is recognised by Mitts (Marc Maron). Much to Cahill's dismay, Mitts proceeds to narrate the story of his downfall to the entire bar, and how he had a breakdown on live television during a tournament. To add injury to insult, he does this while laughing at him and saying, 'Bet you can't even look at a golf club after a train wreck like that, right?' Watch Teaser | Denzel Washignton and Spike Lee reunite for Highest 2 Lowest, featuring ASAP Rocky and Jeffrey Wright The scene transitions to a montage of the life of Stick (Pryce Cahill's moniker), where he reflects, 'Things were supposed to be different for me. I look in the mirror, and I would not bet on the guy.' This montage also depicts his divorce proceedings, revealing his struggle to cope and his denial. He is even seen receiving a lackluster pep talk from Mitts, the same man who previously insulted him. Finally, Cahill is shown teaching golf to seniors, his attention suddenly captured by the crisp sound of a well-hit ball. He follows the sound and discovers a kid who, in Cahill's words, 'swings the golf club like a dream,' and to no one's surprise, he tries to convince the kid to become his student. In a twist no one saw coming, the young talent had a tough childhood, and his father, who taught him golf, has passed away. Cahill convinces his mother to let him take the kid to the US amateur championship and tells her that he thinks 'he can win it all'. The main narrative of the series seems to be pretty clear, as Pryce Cahill will try to coach the kid to glory while he will learn some truths about himself along the way. The show, also starring Peter Dager, Lili Kay and Judy Greer, will start streaming from June 4 on Apple TV+.
