Sylvester Stallone is opening up about one of Hollywood's most legendary rivalries, describing his long-running feud with fellow action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger as 'very contentious' in its early days, according to Page Six.

The 80 year old Rocky and Rambo star said the tension between him and the 79 year old Terminator actor was there almost from the moment they crossed paths, with both men adopting an antagonistic stance toward one another as they competed for dominance at the top of the action movie genre.

Stallone described the dynamic as a kind of challenge being issued between the two stars, framing their rivalry as a defining chapter of their careers during Hollywood's golden era of action films.
