TIL That Steven Seagal Received a Russian Passport and Putin Personally Handed It to Him, Yesterday

in #news8 years ago (edited)

Just learnt that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally handed a new Russian passport to Steven Seagal, an action star of the 90's, making him join a growing list of westerners who have been granted Russian citizenship.

The handing over took place in Moscow this Friday, an event which was also televised.

Mr. Putin has also said

he hoped the gesture showed a "normalisation" of strained relations with Washington.

Seagal can't act. He just grew old, fat and bitter that Hollywood has ignored him.
So now he's turning to the Russians who are masters of bootlegging his movies.
Why can't he just stick to just being an Aikido grandmaster?

Yes he can't! And as you say, must be the bitterness in him which made him do this.

Thank you.

You have got a typo in the title. Should be "Seagal".

Btw, this is not TIL but simple news. Please stop abusing the tag ;-)

Oops! Thanks, edited now. As for the rest I respect your opinions.

LOL. That guy really knows the U.S. The way to our hearts is through has been action stars. TIL Hard To Kill is still HUGE in Russia.

Here in Asia too he is pretty big, but I guess he had an axe to grind with Hollywood!
