Arnold Schwarzenegger Had An Interesting Response To Sylvester Stallone Inviting Him To His Expensive Yacht
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, once known for their fierce rivalry, have evolved their relationship into a strong and friendly bond. That being said, they still have a competitive spirit, although it’s displayed in a friendlier way now.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Arnold Schwarzenegger talked about his relationship with Stallone and shed light on their different approach when it comes to relaxing. While they may have buried the hatchet from their past rivalry, Schwarzenegger revealed that Stallone invites him on yacht trips. However, the Austrian star always makes it clear to him that he can just get his own yacht instead.
“Sly calls me: ‘Want to come on the yacht?’ What, do you think I’m going to ask, ‘When can I have dinner?’ It’s not going to happen. I can get my own yacht. That’s not my trip. I can’t even relax under those circumstances.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone have worked together on The Expendables and have grown to develop a wonderful friendship over the years. Regardless, it is good to know there is no bad blood between the two now.
What Was The Yacht That Sylvester Stallone Invited Arnold Schwarzenegger To?
According to Justluxe, Sylvester Stallone previously joined the ranks of A-listers celebrating the holidays on the luxurious island of St. Bart’s, making a grand entrance aboard the impressive Cakewalk yacht owned by Denver-based investor Charles Gallagher. The Cakewalk, at an astounding 281 feet, claims the title of the largest luxury yacht constructed in the U.S. since J.P. Morgan’s Corsair IV in the 1930s and holds the record for the largest volume ever.
The actor purchased it for $215 million. The main deck of the Cakewalk features an elegant owner’s suite boasting forward views, a spa, lounge, theater, and gym. A dining salon with seating for 16, adorned with hand-painted ceilings and incorporating exotic woods, adds to the yacht’s grandeur. The bridge deck houses a game room, while the sun deck above offers a bar, loungers, sunshades, and a whirlpool spa for ultimate relaxation. Regardless, Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t want to be on the yacht and that’s all that mattered to him.
