The gloves are off! Kim Basinger argues with Sylvester Stallone on set of boxing flick Grudge Match

She is playing the woman 'caught in the middle' in her latest role.
So it seems only appropriate Kim Basinger was seen having an on-screen argument with Sylvester Stallone on the set of Grudge Match in Louisiana on Monday.
The pair's character's seemed to have met for a rendezvous in a New Orleans park, before having a distinct difference of opinion.

Perhaps the 59-year-old was trying to persuade Sylvester, who plays a retired boxer, from taking on a rematch with his old rival, which is the central plot line of the film.
Whatever the conversation was about, it did not seem to go well as they ended up turning their backs on each other and walking away.
Grudge Match sounds like it should be a treat for silver screen boxing fans, as it will see the 66-year-old Rocky actor taking a comeback fight against an old foe, who will be played by Raging Bull favourite Robert De Niro.

To add a twist to the tale, the ageing warriors will have not fought each other in 50 years before being goaded out of retirement.
It seems Bob, 69, will have some hard work ahead to get in shape for the film.
For while action man Sylvester last appeared as Rocky just seven years ago, it has been 33 years since he appeared as legendary middleweight Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull.
Kim's exact role is being kept under wraps, but she seems to be a key reason for the two men deciding to dust down their jockstraps for one final fight.

 

Parting of the ways: It appears their argument did not come to a happy ending as they turned their backs on each other
