Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone are three icons of ’80s and ’90s action movies, and while we might think rivalry was the pick-me-up between them, they’re actually bound by a scandalous friendship.
Although the protagonists of ‘Terminator’ and ‘Rambo’ initially had a falling out, they put that behind them when Bruce Willis entered the industry with his role in ‘Die Hard’.
And they realized that they could easily coexist in Hollywood, each carving their own niche. “I couldn’t have played ‘Terminator’.” I know. And what Bruce did in Die Hard was a definite character too,” Stallone said in an interview.

With their differences settled, the actors became a parallel to the Three Musketeers as they enjoyed awards, events and even Stallone’s 60th birthday in 2006 together.
Although a scandal made headlines in 2013 when Bruce Willis refused to star in The Expendables and asked for $4 million for three days of recording, according to Yahoo!
As a result of this incident, Sylvester Stallone even announced on Twitter that Bruce could no longer be produced due to “greedy and lazy”, a controversy that has “gone out of the past” over time.

The Bruce Willis Diagnosis
A few months ago, Bruce Willis retired from the film industry after being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a brain condition that both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone have described as unfortunate in interviews and on social media.
“I understand that you had to retire for health reasons. But in general we never give up. “Action heroes charge,” Schwarzenegger said in an interview with CinemaBlend.
For Stallone, on the other hand, his friend’s health makes him impotent, since Bruce Willis is an actor with whom he practically started his career in cinema. “If you’re going to say you love someone, say it now,” he told Access Hollywood.
