Putin gives U.S. actor Seagal top state award for 'humanitarian work'

[Eldorado]

Russian President Vladimir Putin has bestowed a top state award on Hollywood actor Steven Seagal to reward him for his international humanitarian and cultural work, a state decree published on Monday showed.

The decree said the 70-year-old star of action films such as "Under Siege" had been given Russia's Order of Friendship. There was no immediate reaction from Seagal.

The decree mentioned Seagal's work as a special representative of Russia's Foreign Ministry for humanitarian ties with the United States and Japan.

He's about as much of a humanitarian as he is a martial artist..

My favorite comment is that it makes pro wrestling look real.

The most"humanitarian" thing he did was stop making movies.

I watched the trailer for a seagull film recently and I realised I’m healthier than an action star. It’s oddly inspiring.

My mistake. I guess that I've disregarded him so much, I assumed he did.

Well you know, he might make a great MAGA Republican Vice-Presidential candidate.  And to steal a point from @Sir Wearer of Hats  he makes Donald Trump look slender and athletic. How could you ask for more?

Vote for trump and I in the next election. Even those dirt dems know we will make America great again, isn’t that right random citizen?

“Yeeeessssss!”

I have not watched a Segal movie since the 90's. I think that's the last time he was relavent.

I liked a couple of his films but don't care for him as a person.
