However, the fashion conversation did not end there. After the interview portion concluded, Schwarzenegger and Stallone met up with their respective teams outside the studio, and the former Governor of California noticed Stallone’s wife, Jennifer, holding alternative jackets for her husband.
“Let me see if it’s David August,” Schwarzenegger said, much to his delight.
“He’s breaking my balls,” Stallone said to everyone before addressing Schwarzenegger, “because you feel like dressing like the lowly one.”

As it turns out, Schwarzenegger was right about the designer, which generated a lot of laughter.
“Sly has nicer clothes than me,” Jennifer noted.
“Nicer clothes than all of us,” Schwarzenegger said before launching into a story about how Stallone wears his shirts.

“His shirt has something that goes underneath his crotch out [the back] to keep the shirt pulled down. Who thinks about this?” he exclaimed. “It’s like diapers!”
Stallone was a good sport about everything, laughing along as Schwarzenegger hung him out to dry.
“So the shirt sticks down. Because God forbid you’re doing a movie and there’s a wrinkle in the shirt, Schwarzenegger continued. “As if that is not natural.”
