Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger spent almost 20 years trying to outdo each other in Hollywood.
Both actors are big names in action films and they never wanted to fall behind the other. Their competition became so serious that they could not even stand on the same stage to give a speech or make an announcement.
Now, Stallone explained what finally changed their relationship and helped end their long fight.
Speaking on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast on November 5, the actor said things started to change when Arnold decided to leave Hollywood competition behind and enter politics.

In 2003, Arnold ran for governor of California. He won the election and stayed in the role until 2011. This meant the two actors were no longer fighting for the same film roles.
Looking back, Stallone said, “I said, enough of this. We’re not in competition.”
He, however, also admitted that Arnold pushed him to work harder as Stallone thanked him for giving him that extra push and said Arnold felt the same way.
