According to Elton John’s upcoming memoir, Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere were both hell-bent on seducing a newly single Princess Diana at a 1993 dinner party
Photo: Getty Images The year: 1993. The host: Elton John. The dinner-party guests: Sylvester Stallone, Richard Gere, Princess Diana, and some other rich people. Enter stage right: a duel of the heart! As relayed in a new excerpt from John’s upcoming memoir, a party he threw at his British manse quickly took a turn to the testosterone thanks to Gere’s and Stallone’s behavior, who were both, apparently, hell-bent on seducing a newly single Lady Di upon their arrival.
An hour or so went by like this, until all of the guests were corralled to eat at the dinner table. However, Stallone and Gere were nowhere to be found, so John’s now-husband, David Furnish, went looking for them. “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,” John writes.
“I never would have come,” he snapped, as David and I showed him to the door, “if I’d known Prince f***in’ Charming was gonna be here.” Then he added: “If I’d wanted her, I would’ve taken her!” We managed to wait until his car was out of sight before we started laughing. Back in our living room, Diana and Richard Gere were still gazing raptly at each other. She seemed completely unruffled.
