Sylvester Stallone once ''slammed'' Steven Seagal up against a wall for saying he didn't want to associate with him.

Sylvester Stallone once ''slammed'' Steven Seagal up against a wall.

The 'Bullet to the Head' actor was involved in an altercation with his fellow action star after he said he didn't want to be associated with him and his set of macho action film actors.

He said: ''Steven Seagal said that he, 'Didn't associate with that kind of element' - meaning me. So I slammed him up against a wall.

''At that time, our testosterone was running full bore. He was full of his height [Steven is 6ft 3in, Sylvester is 5ft 10in] and I was full of ... Myself. But we made up. He can be very abstract.''
One action star Sylvester, 66, gets on better with is Jean-Claude Van Damme - who recently appeared with him in 'The Expendables 2' - and he even lets the Belgian star do an impression of him.

He added to Shortlist magazine: ''I swear to God. But even he does this, 'Ahhhm doin' daah mooovie with Slaaaah Stallone. How ya doin', baby?' Now you have him, with a French accent, doing my accent. Gimme a break!''

Sly Stallone slammed Seagal against a wall?
A good joke.
What´s next?
Chevy Chase beat up Seagal in front of a restaurant?

Sounds like a very believable story to me. I think Seagal being abstract is a good way to describe some of the statements he sometimes comes out with plus Stallone doesn't say anything unbelievable like he beat Seagal to a pulp or they had a huge street brawl.

The report doesn't mention when or where this happened and gets Seagal's height wrong. It doesn't sound very believable.

I don't think a small detail like Seagal's height really changes how believable this story is now does it?

Besides Seagal might well be 6ft 3 now and not 6ft 5, people do tend to shrink with age!

On its own, of course the comment about his height doesn't make or break the story. But combined with the lack of reference to the time and place this is supposed to have happened, as well as how the story weirdly drifts off into Van Damme's impression of Stallone, it doesn't come across as very reliable.

Seems reliable to me. Why would Stallone even mention Seagal otherwise, after all he's nothing at all to do with the Expendables? Stallone's career is doing a lot better than Seagal's now, as it always has done, so I can't see why Stallone would make up a story like this? It hardly makes him look any better, because he doesn't say he won some fight that he had with Seagal.

I too don't find this bit of news all that hard to believe.
Firstly, it really isn't all that unplausible that Seagal would've made some crude comment about his fellow action stars. He has trashed them before as we all have heard and read in various interviews.
Secondly, Stallone doesn't claim to have mopped the floor with Seagal's hairpiece. Maybe "slamming" is too strong of a term, but I can easily see Stallone push and/or shove Seagal in the heat of the moment (both of these particular gentlemen are known for their temper).
And thirdly: one can read between the lines that neither one of them saw fit to make this incident into anything more. That means that Seagal too has the common sense to be the bigger man (quite literally), let it go and possibly understand that he crossed some line with Stallone that he shouldn't have.
And as for the "weird" transition to the Van Damme anecdote: reporters do edit their stories. It's quite easy to see that after the Seagal-bit the interviewer asked Stallone about his relationship with his Expendables co-stars and as a part of his answer, Stallone told about the impression - perhaps to underline that he has a sense of humour about himself even though he blew a fuse over Seagal's remark.

Completely agree with you.
