In these 1990 photos, action stars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger are photographed dancing the waltz in Cannes, France, after putting their competitive natures to the side. Speaking about that moment, Schwarzenegger described it as one of his favorite memories of being in Cannes.
“We danced the waltz,” said Schwarzenegger during the cocktail, dressed in a seersucker jacket, pants and Adidas sneakers. “... Sylvester was here for a film, and I was promoting Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and up until that point we didn’t really hit it off well. We were very competitive and trying to derail each other at every angle and every possibility. And then, somehow, because we were working for the same company, we hugged at a party right about here. The Gipsy Kings were playing and we were holding onto each other and they said, ‘Do you want to dance?’ and he says, ‘Yeah.’ And so we were dancing, we were waltzing, around and around and around. Then we all of a sudden stopped and he said, ‘God damn it, you’re leading, I hate that.’”
“We couldn’t stand to be in the same galaxy together for a while. We truly, truly loathed each other,” Stallone revealed while discussing their careers in the 1990s.
The candid photographs saw the two actors sharing a laugh as they entertained their audience who watched them in amusement.
Stallone referenced a rumor that Schwarzenegger tricked him into taking a part in 1992’s Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot to have a flop on his résumé back during their rivalry — which Schwarzenegger confirmed was true. Moreover, Stallone’s ex-wife Brigitte Nielsen reportedly once had an affair with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
