Arnold Schwarzenegger to Sylvester Stallone: 'To me, you are the best. You are the winner.'
When life brings you disappointments, it's nice to have a good friend in your corner.

Sly, to me you're always the best, no matter what they say.Posted by Arnold Schwarzenegger on Sunday, February 28, 2016
"Sly, just remember: No matter what they say, to me, you are the best. You were the winner," says Schwarzenegger. "I'm proud of you." Maybe it'll be enough encouragement to get Stallone back into the ring for Creed 2.
