I can confirm that Stallone does care about looks. My dad met him at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills back in the early 80's,where they were both shopping for clothes. My dad got a gift certificate worth only $50 dollars so all he could afford was just a single dress shirt. They both ended up in the checkout lanes together. Sly commented to my dad, " Why are you buying only one shirt?" My dad, being a simple working man, a machinist for McDonnell Douglas, it was all he could afford. Mr. Stallone's assistant was called, and he helped my dad get two more shirts and also got measured for two suits, trousers, and a cashmere dinner jacket. He paid for it all and was very kind to my dad. My dad is 84 years old, and he still has those clothes . He always goes to see every single Sylvester Stallone movie whenever he can. Great video, BTW.
That's a wonderful story about your dad meeting Stallone at the store. Long before I was born, My dad was a professional contractor in the 80s and he actually worked on the construction crew that built Stallones house. The reason he knows it was his house is because he showed up at the house during construction and my dad was able to meet him by him saying hello to the crew he was on.
I was born in 1994, in eastern europe and we got mostly 80's movies on the TV all through my childhood so I do really love these guys. Just rewatched all of the Rocky movies last week. But it's fun to learn about the rivalry. Did not know that.
@@spec24 yes. Lately, Arnold has been brainwashed by these criminally corrupt left-wing crazies. But I still love his moves. Hopefully, he becomes de-programmed and comes to his senses
BOY do I adore both Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger so much! Both men are very successful, iconic, and charismatic Hollywood actors of the 80s and 90s!
Honestly, I love them both!!! Sylvester and Arnold are the best two Hollywood action stars of the 80s. They both dominated! They don't need to fight, we needed them both for enjoyment!
Arnie is my personal favorite but both are absolute legends. These two created a whole new breed of action hero and dominated the 80s. I'm so glad I lived through that time as it was happening.
@@spec24 Every body builder at the time and now took body enhancing drugs, but what arnie took was tiny amounts compared to modern body builders and that is why modern ones look terrible compared to arnie in body shape. Arnie still had to lift those weights
Great interview. Arnie and Sly cannot be compared to anyone.They were the finest of my time. Millions were moved by their movies. Inspiration to the present generation. Real manly heroes.
Man that was one of the best interviews, I did not know that two had that much competition with each other. Also they're Mount Rushmore answers were perfect absolutely agree. Much love to both of them and to TMZ❤
Before the superheroe craze,these guys were the king of action in Hollywood and inspired future action stars.I will always go back to their films because they are unique.
Love them both! Glad they are close friends ❤ Rocky touched my soul and was an inspiration to me growing up and still does 40 years later. I didn't know until the last 10 years about their childhood, it made me relate to them even more. I had to overcome a lot and put in my mind that I would never live like that again and I would be better and successful...I had a burning desire to overcome just like they said.
This was such an incredibly heartwarming interview, both of these great men inspired so many of us young girls and boys throughout our lives. Their continued hard work, kindness and just continues to show that you can start from bad upbringings and still be a beautiful hearted person
I always liked Stallone’s characters better, because they were more “human”. But as many have said Schwarzenegger had the humorist touch even as a Robot and this made him also unique. In T2 and T3 you can’t deny he was a human machine.
Love you both guys. True legends. I saw Arnold in Cardiff, well it’s Newport but but for some reason the Celtic Manor ICC was registered under Cardiff. Anyway it was the Experience with…. Gig. Black tie event the lot high class dinner and booze. Then he came in stage I wasn’t far from him but I was star struck. I didnt know what to say or whether to wave and try to get his attention but at the end of it all, I felt I knew him personally for years, the way he talks to people, the way he is in general. I only saw him in the movies, but to see him in person is definitely a tick off my bucket list 😃. Never saw Sly but never know hopefully one day I will and that would be another tick ✔️. Come to Newport /Cardiff sly. I wanna see you!!!😂
I agree with Sylvester when he says, "It would have been better..." My heart goes out to them both for all they've been through. They are both very inspiring to us all! Telling us all to keep on pushing! Keep fighting the fight! Keep climbing that mountain! Thank you Sly!💓💯 Thank you Arnold!💓💯 We love you both! Very much! God bless!
I loved to watch Sylvester since I first saw the movie "Rambo the first blood" in 1980. Then I loved to watch Swatz in the movie "John commando" in 1980. I wished to see these two guys in person one day❤
Me being a kid of the 80s can say, I never thought I would see the day these 2 would sit together reminiscing. They were the movie version of Ali-Frazier.
I have watched a lot of Arnold’s interviews and no much of Slys and they are both brilliantly articulate and down to earth I wish Arnold would run for office in the uk
brilliant, great and incitefull to listen to you both, thank you also tmz for arranging this. definitely two big action film icons that did indeed change the film action industry, may you two live long and prosper.
I love how Arnold kept saying that he was chasing Sly but Arnold was in movies before Sly was they just weren't a success yet and he was the greatest bodybuilder ever before Sly ever was in a single movie role yet he's so humble and respectful he didn't mention any of that but that was definitely a great interview no doubt about it!
That was a really good interview... I hope before they die they do a movies together full of action as two old friends who are still strong enough to save the world or at least a city.
All I can say is the older gen of action stars, cared about the entertainment they gave us. The newer batch could care less, and it shows. Conan is still a yearly watch for me, nothing else can really get you into a state of mind where nothing can hurt you. Stallone had some greats; I really like his early career. But even he has never graced us with anything as visceral as Conan. The second Conan isn't worth mentioning and I really wish we could have received the Conan sequel that Arnold and we deserve.
Legends! I grew up watching their movies and have always been in awe of their physicality. No "bad guy" ever stood a chance against either one of em! and although Schwarzenegger is the terminator, there's no denying that both of them were unstoppable machines dominating Hollywood action movies!!
Ive been watching their movies since Ive been alive turn 40 this year, never went a year without seeing a movie without either of them. Jingle All The Way is a Christmas classic. Tango and Cash is my shit. Kindergarten Cop, Terminator, The 6th Day, Last Action Hero, T2, in constant rotation for Arnie. Creed 1and 2 Rocky 1-4, Rambo 1-5, Balboa, Cobra, all of the Expendables etc. in rotation for Sly. They are still two of favorite action stars. I wanna another couple Expendables and that neighbor movie they were talking about. Surprised the Rock wasnt a villain for the Expendables., that wouldve been cool.
I'm glad they mentioned Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwood as they came to my mind at the beginning and was wondering what they thought of them along with Chuck Norris , Jon Claude Vandam , Steven Segal , Jason Statham , The Rock , John Cena , Tom Cruise and Jackie Chan and whoever else . Although some of those guys came 😮 the end of their careers I'm sure they somehow motivated them to be better or different and vice versa , in the competitive world of acting . Although this clip is about their rivalry !
A lot of people were probably wondering why we didn't have an interview with the two of them together before this. Better late than never. This will be the one people reference from now on.
I do think Jean Claude Van Damme became the third guy. Kickboxer, double impact, universal soldier. Timecop. Were movie hits. In the late 80s and 90s kind of became the third action guy. And I did notice some rivalry with him in the 90s with Arnie and Sly. Van Damme appeared in last action euro which I’m suspecting would not have been Arnold’s idea. Obviously he was never up there with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. But if you think who was the next guy down from those two, I can’t think of anybody else than him. Dolph Lundgren being the fourth guy. Van Damme definitely went ahead of Dolph.
I'm so glad to have grown up in the cultural era defined by these two titans - and geniuses (measurably!). And it was literally an era in almost every idiomatic sense of that term. Sadly, in 2024, that era - their era (which is my era) - has been over for quite some time.
I can confirm that Stallone does care about looks. My dad met him at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills back in the early 80's,where they were both shopping for clothes.

Wow great story, very telling of character
That's a wonderful story about your dad meeting Stallone at the store.

Well he is Italian !!!
i love sly even more now. what a great guy
Great story thank you for sharing that with us!
People who didn't live in the 80's probably would not understand this, this is a gem! I'll save this video!
I was born in 1994, in eastern europe and we got mostly 80's movies on the TV all through my childhood so I do really love these guys. Just rewatched all of the Rocky movies last week. But it's fun to learn about the rivalry. Did not know that.
Facts. It iconic for sure
So rightly said!
These 2 men are simply the very best... ever. Sly has forever been my favorite actor since I saw both First Blood & Rocky III when I was 7 years old.
Anyone who tells you to screw your freedoms doesn't deserve your praise.
@@spec24 yes.
Lately, Arnold has been brainwashed by these criminally corrupt left-wing crazies.
But I still love his moves.
Hopefully, he becomes de-programmed and comes to his senses
Stallone?? Are you joking?? The man has no build NONE
Easily his best works by far didn’t mind cobra aswell
I love Arnold busting Sly's balls about how fancy he dresses! 😂😂
BOY do I adore both Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger so much! Both men are very successful, iconic, and charismatic Hollywood actors of the 80s and 90s!
2 legends real men… not many left of course were blessed to still have Clint of course
I like this comment..
Oh you get a big thumbs up for that....Arnie n Sly are kings...Clint is God
@@joppadoni 😄
Honestly, I love them both!!! Sylvester and Arnold are the best two Hollywood action stars of the 80s. They both dominated! They don't need to fight, we needed them both for enjoyment!
I'm 55. Grew up watching these guys. I really enjoyed this interview.
This is a wonderful interview. Absolutely Breathtaking. Two Great Living Legends. Friends Forever. ❤❤❤❤❤
Arnie is my personal favorite but both are absolute legends. These two created a whole new breed of action hero and dominated the 80s. I'm so glad I lived through that time as it was happening.
I love how Arnie's busting Sly's balls at the end. Old habits die hard lol. Great interview.
Sly is your classic Italian - loves to dress up and well.
Great interview.
TRUE LEGENDS RIGHT THERE. There were heroes back in the 80s inspiring millions of people. I particularly love Sly
Yes... at least one inspired an entire generation to go on performance enhancing drugs. Way to go, Arnold.
@@spec24 Every body builder at the time and now took body enhancing drugs, but what arnie took was tiny amounts compared to modern body builders and that is why modern ones look terrible compared to arnie in body shape. Arnie still had to lift those weights
Great interview. Arnie and Sly cannot be compared to anyone.They were the finest of my time. Millions were moved by their movies. Inspiration to the present generation. Real manly heroes.
Yeah they can't be compared to anyone in terms of their acting skills in their movies
Man that was one of the best interviews, I did not know that two had that much competition with each other. Also they're Mount Rushmore answers were perfect absolutely agree. Much love to both of them and to TMZ❤
Before the superheroe craze,these guys were the king of action in Hollywood and inspired future action stars.I will always go back to their films because they are unique.
Yes I agree there's only one other who I thought were a big action symbols back then. that is van damme. these three were legends
Love them both! Glad they are close friends ❤ Rocky touched my soul and was an inspiration to me growing up and still does 40 years later. I didn't know until the last 10 years about their childhood, it made me relate to them even more.

Amazing interview of the two icons....
More people need to see this. Amazing
I absolutely love their movies growing up as a teenager and into a adult I use to look up to them both
Brilliantly executed interview. I hope them both all the success in the coming years. They are the cinema in the industry.👏👏👏
two legends that shaped generations.
These two, were an inspirational part of my youth. They are both my favorites.
THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT MOMENT WITH MY STARS SLY AND ARNOLD !! Greetings from Schleswig Holstein !! Germany !!
Both are legends for me. Their movies are my childhood.
I grew up watching both of those two in the 80s and 90s they’re number number one number two at hero’s
This is GREAT! We never would've gotten Ikari Warriors, Victory Road, or Contra, if not for these two 💪🏽💯
I always liked Stallone’s characters better, because they were more “human”. But as many have said Schwarzenegger had the humorist touch even as a Robot and this made him also unique. In T2 and T3 you can’t deny he was a human machine.
You see why Arnold came up top often, being competitive till the last second!
Two of the most fantastic actors of all time
I love both of you guys, all my fav movies
Two Megastars that I'm so glad were making these movies during my growing up years
Absolutely one of the best interviews ever!
2 absolute film legends. I grew up as a young man loving the movies they both stared in. All the best to you both and a really nice interview. Brett.
Love them both. 2 of my favorite actors, and people.
My two hero's in the 80's, thank you for that :)
Sly is the greatest moviemaker in hollywood writer actor director producer....all in 1 legend
From india 🇮🇳
Love you both guys. True legends. I saw Arnold in Cardiff, well it’s Newport but but for some reason the Celtic Manor ICC was registered under Cardiff. Anyway it was the Experience with…. Gig.

I luv that they are still cool with each other this is the way real men should carry themselves ❤
I agree with Sylvester when he says, "It would have been better..." My heart goes out to them both for all they've been through. They are both very inspiring to us all! Telling us all to keep on pushing! Keep fighting the fight! Keep climbing that mountain!
Thank you Sly!💓💯
Thank you Arnold!💓💯

I loved to watch Sylvester since I first saw the movie "Rambo the first blood" in 1980.
Then I loved to watch Swatz in the movie "John commando" in 1980.
I wished to see these two guys in person one day❤
Sly has such a big heart and so so smart!
That was an awesome interview. Much respect to all involved. 👍🏻
Me being a kid of the 80s can say, I never thought I would see the day these 2 would sit together reminiscing. They were the movie version of Ali-Frazier.
such gr8 people, icons ! they deserve everybodies respect
Both legends
Wonderful, thanks for sharing❤
I have watched a lot of Arnold’s interviews and no much of Slys and they are both brilliantly articulate and down to earth I wish Arnold would run for office in the uk

I really enjoyed watching this ;) these two bloke’s rock, I’m glad they are friends enjoying their time together 👍🏻🇦🇺
Omg I haven't even sat through 1 minute of this yet and I had to comment. I'm so excited!!
Os 2 maiores titãs da história dos filmes de ação ❤
JCVD will always be my favourite action star.
I love how Arnold kept saying that he was chasing Sly but Arnold was in movies before Sly was they just weren't a success yet and he was the greatest bodybuilder ever before Sly ever was in a single movie role yet he's so humble and respectful he didn't mention any of that but that was definitely a great interview no doubt about it!
Superb conversation.....i learned so.much ✌️ thank you

The Boys Rock💪💪Icons👌,,,,Great interview,,,,
Love this made it to RUclips, you are a saint my man
Very good documentary and you're both humble which is unique these days👊👊
Love this interview, more content like this on TMZ.
That was amazing and entertaining. Two of my favorite actors showing love and respect to each other. How cool is that.?😎😎😎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
To icons and great friends. Love it!!
All I can say is the older gen of action stars, cared about the entertainment they gave us. The newer batch could care less, and it shows.

But even he has never graced us with anything as visceral as Conan. The second Conan isn't worth mentioning and I really wish we could have received the Conan sequel that Arnold and we deserve.
Legends! I love the list at the end! Even though I also think of Mel I can fully support Sly, Arnold, Clint and Bruce 👍
Stallone had emotion and intensity swartzenegger had physical presence.
Sou fã ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Real heroes for me; thanks tmz. Hugs from Brazil.
Legends! I grew up watching their movies and have always been in awe of their physicality. No "bad guy" ever stood a chance against either one of em! and although Schwarzenegger is the terminator, there's no denying that both of them were unstoppable machines dominating Hollywood action movies!!
Amazing interview!!!
Excellent, thank you...
Im such a fan of both of these men
My favorite movies of the 80s were Arnold and Sly films; very inspirational people and movie characters.
they abselute turn out good in their old age i did love all their movies back that still do
Ive been watching their movies since Ive been alive turn 40 this year, never went a year without seeing a movie without either of them. Jingle All The Way is a Christmas classic.

Love these guys
Оба ещё молодца, выглядят хорошо! Хоть и оба актёра не совсем лицеприятно высказывались о России однако за их творчество им всё равно, уважение!
Great interview
I'm glad they mentioned Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwood as they came to my mind at the beginning and was wondering what they thought of them along with Chuck Norris , Jon Claude Vandam , Steven Segal , Jason Statham , The Rock , John Cena , Tom Cruise and Jackie Chan and whoever else .

Seen this the night it premiered...thank you for uploading this ❤
They need to make this two another one more movie together
haha what is not to love about these two gents
both legends
I remember in the mid '90s when Sylvester Stallone was on talk shows and he didn't want anybody calling him Sly. Glad he chilled out
A lot of people were probably wondering why we didn't have an interview with the two of them together before this. Better late than never. This will be the one people reference from now on.
Great show!
I do think Jean Claude Van Damme became the third guy. Kickboxer, double impact, universal soldier. Timecop. Were movie hits. In the late 80s and 90s kind of became the third action guy.

Dolph Lundgren being the fourth guy. Van Damme definitely went ahead of Dolph.
I would love to sit down in a pub with these guys and just chat awesome
Arnold’s psychological manipulation of his adversaries can be seen as early in “Pumping Iron.”
I'm so glad to have grown up in the cultural era defined by these two titans - and geniuses (measurably!). And it was literally an era in almost every idiomatic sense of that term.
Sadly, in 2024, that era - their era (which is my era) - has been over for quite some time.
Love to see them treating each other so respectfully.
Heart warming!
I think ..... The Mount Rushmore would be : Arnold , Sylvester, Tom Cruise , Clint Eastwood , and definitely Bruce Willis .
Where is van damme?
Eddie Murphy, Mel Gibson need to be mentioned
both heros
2 of the Best to do it 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Two alpha icons of cinema!
Красавчики 💪👊
