Old Hollywood action star Steven Seagal (71) attracted attention by appearing at the inauguration ceremony of Vladimir Putin (71) as the fifth Russian president.

According to the Daily Express on the 7th, American action actor Steven Seagal appeared at the Kremlin Palace in Moscow, Russia, wearing a black gown. He had long hair tied back and a long beard around his mouth.

It is said that about 2,600 people were invited to the Kremlin on this day.

Segal told reporters that Putin was “the greatest leader in the world.” He also said that he believes the future will be the best with Putin’s term in office.

When asked, ‘What do you want to tell Americans about Putin now?’, Siegel gave an odd answer, “I’m very excited.”

According to the Daily Express, Segal had previously said of President Putin, “As I have said many times, he is one of the world’s greatest leaders. “He is a brilliant and clear tactician,” he said. “He and I started to become friends through martial arts.”

Segal acquired Russian citizenship in 2016, and it is known that his grandparents were Russian-Jewish immigrants. He also formed a relationship with President Putin through a common interest in martial arts, and then developed a close relationship with President Putin, who is the same age as him, and was appointed as a special envoy for relations with the United States in 2018.

Regarding his acquisition of Russian citizenship, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the press, “This was his wish, and he really supported it,” adding, “He has been persistent in asking for citizenship for a long time.” In fact, he is famous for his friendly feelings toward Russia,” he said.

According to the media, Siegel is a pro-Russian figure who received the Order of Friendship from Putin for supporting Russia after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Segal became famous for his action films such as ‘Hard To Kill’ and ‘Under Siege’, which were released in 1990.
