Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere
The Rocky and American Gigolo stars were supposed to star together in 1974’s The Lords of Flatbush, until Gere was fired and replaced by Perry King.
Stallone told Ain’t It Cool his side of the story in 2006.
“Yeah, the original part of Chico, which was played by Perry King, was originally supposed to be played by Richard Gere, but we never hit it off,” Stallone said.
