When legendary bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger and the famous perfectionist Sylvester Stallone share stories, you can be sure there will be plenty of laughs. A video shared by TMZ studio via an X post shows a hilarious shirt story that highlights Stallone’s quirky side and his bizarre ‘perfect shirt’ obsession.

Schwarzenegger shared a funny story about when he went to visit Stallone’s set once and was astonished to find out about his custom-made shirts. According to Schwarzenegger, Stallone’s custom shirts pull underneath like a diaper and are pulled up from the other end, ensuring they stay down, no matter how Stallone moves. This ensures that Stallone’s shirts always remain in place, wrinkle-free- and Stallone orders them by the dozen.

“He goes in his dressing room, in his trailer, and pulls down his pants. His shirt has something that goes underneath his crotch out there to keep the shirt pulled down. Who thinks about that?” Schwarzenegger exclaimed. “I just ordered another dozen,” Stallone said in response to his comment.

Stallone, always the perfectionist, believed that “the magic’s in the details,” as per the X post. His behavior quirk oozed out into other aspects of his life and career as well.

Stallone had famously spent years developing the screenplay for Rocky until it was a masterpiece. Not just that, he also pushed his body to the extreme, training relentlessly for Rocky III and Rocky IV.

Don’t think for a moment that Schwarzenegger did not have any funny quirks of his own. The seven-time Mr. Olympia also boasted of a few quirky behaviors that made him unique.

Schwarzenegger's Own Obsessions: Visualization and Ritual

Everyone has some fun quirks, including legend Schwarzenegger. Here are some of his quirky habits that made him who he is today:

Schwarzenegger's visualization technique

Schwarzenegger has often talked about the power of visualization. He shared how he used to mentally picture the physique and success that he wanted to achieve long before it became his reality.

He firmly believed that visualizing his goals helped him create a strong mind-muscle connection during his workouts.

As per his newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club, thinking about positive outcomes and possibilities in your health, career, and relationships can boost your mindset.

His cigar ritual

According to an interview on Cigar Aficionado, Schwarzenegger has always been passionate about cigars. He treats it as a daily relaxation ritual, smoking one cigar a day in the evenings on his patio by the fireplace.

Rather than treating his habit as something to rush through, Schwarzenegger uses the moment to reflect, relax, or socialize.

“I have a patio at my house, which I created after we bought the house. By the swimming pool and by the jacuzzi, I have a huge fireplace, a monster fireplace. And we put a roof over it. And there I sit at night, and I smoke my cigar.”
