British singer-songwriter Elton John just outed all of the dirt about Richard Gere and Sylvester Stallone fighting over Princess Diana.
In an excerpt from the upcoming book, John discusses how Princess Diana ruled over the heart of millions around the world, including two of Holywood’s A-list actors.
He wrote that at that point in time, Diana had recently parted ways with Prince Charles while the ‘Pretty Woman’ actor had split up with model Cindy Crawford: “Straight away, Richard Gere and Diana seemed very taken with each other.”
“As the rest of us chatted, I couldn’t help notice a strange atmosphere in the room. Judging by the kind of looks he kept shooting them, Diana and Richard Gere’s newly blossoming friendship was not going down well with Sylvester Stallone at all,” he wrote.
“I think he may have turned up to the party with the express intention of picking Diana up, only to find his plans for the evening ruined,” he continued.
When dinner was served, John and his husband David Furnish immediately realised that both Gere and Stallone were missing from the table. When Furnish went to look for them, he quickly returned to inform John that they had “a situation” on their hands. “It transpired that he’d discovered Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere in the corridor, squaring up to each other, apparently about to settle their differences over Diana by having a fist-fight,” he wrote.
“After dinner, Diana and Richard Gere resumed their position together in front of the fire, and Sylvester stormed off home,” he wrote further.
