WASHINGTON - Sylvester Stallone insists Arnold Schwarzenegger is the most ‘extraordinary’ man he’s ever met.
The two stars, who recently teamed up briefly for Stallone’s action film ‘The Expendables’, first met at the 1977 Golden Globe Awards and, despite their rivalry on the big screen, they’ve always been good friends - and business partners in the Planet Hollywood empire.
And now Stallone has opened up about his true feelings for Arnie, reports Contactmusic.

He’s the Governor of California, that’s all; just the Governor of the biggest state in population.
“This is not some city council somewhere,” he added. (ANI)
