When you see Silvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Antonio Banderas and Jason Statham riding tanks to the Cannes festival, then you definitely don’t think about anything else for a moment. And that is the exact way they actually did their debut arriving on the famous Croisette, on Sunday.
Of course fans went wild. Well, that’s after they panicked first, considering all the things going on in the world (take Ukraine, for example). But the veteran action stars went round the streets of the beautiful French city riding on tanks with no problem what so ever.
Amongst the usual compliments, the celebrities were making to each other, the cast also made jokes. Age was, of course, the main target. “When you’re a$$ falls off, it’s time to retire. We’re children with arthritis! We’re young forever”, said Stallone when asked when the stars know it’s time to retire.
In case you didn’t know, since the first “Expendables” came out in 2010, the cast got bigger and bigger. Right now, almost every star that ever managed to fire an MP4 gun on film is playing a role. The third edition includes younger stars such as Kellan Lutz and Ronda Rousey, as well as Wesley Snipes and Kelsey Grammer.
About the tanks, according to The Telegraph, they were shipped over from Britain for the event, as the Hollywood celebrities promoted the latest sequel of the Expendables franchise.
