Predator Almost Ruined Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Wedding

1987’s Predator gave Arnold Schwarzenegger one of his most memorable action roles, but filming the movie almost ruined his wedding to Maria Shriver. In the 1980s and 1990s, Schwarzenegger was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, headlining hit after hit, despite often being criticized by some for his limited acting range. As far as audiences were concerned though, Schwarzenegger was giving them exactly what they wanted, complete with Herculean physique, snappy one-liners, and a thick Austrian accent.

Schwarzenegger ruled action cinema during his time on top of the movie world, primarily playing the superman-esque hero forced to go it alone against a veritable army of bad guys. In Predator though, Schwarzenegger instead went one-on-one with the galaxy’s ultimate hunter, and often found himself the underdog. It was a rare position for the bodybuilder turned actor to be put in, but thankfully Schwarzenegger’s charisma served him just as well battling from beneath as it did effortlessly blowing away goon after goon.

However, the 1980s weren’t just important to Schwarzenegger from a professional perspective. He would also get married to Maria Shriver, and they would stay together for the next 25 years. That was no thanks to Predator, as the film’s shoot nearly ruined he and Shriver’s big day.

Ultimate Predator and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver got married on April 26, 1986, at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. One assumes the couple had their reasons for choosing that date, but one wonders if they decided before or after Schwarzenegger committed to filming Predator. The action/sci-fi/horror classic filmed primarily in the jungles of Mexico, which is of course quite a distance from Massachusetts. Schwarzenegger ended up cutting things so close that he finished up the night’s filming on April 24, took a jet chartered by Predator producer Joel Silver, and landed in Hyannis Port the next morning.

By then, Schwarzenegger had already missed some of the final preparations for the ceremony, which is said to have left Shriver none too happy with him. They held the rehearsal dinner the night of April 25, then got married the next day. The couple went on a very brief honeymoon, with Schwarzenegger back on the Predator set by Wednesday, April 30. It would appear Shriver got over any issues she had with the scheduling by then, as she actually came to the set soon after to have dinner with her husband and his co-stars, according to actor Richard Chaves. Sadly, Schwarzenegger and Shriver’s marriage survived Predator, but couldn’t survive an infamous infidelity scandal soon after his tenure as governor of California ended.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
