MOSCOW » President Vladimir Putin has given a Russian passport to U.S. action film star Steven Seagal, calling it a sign of a thaw in relations with the United States.
The 64-year old actor has been a regular visitor to Russia in recent years and has accompanied Putin to several martial arts events.
Seagal also has vocally defended the Russian leader’s policies and criticized the U.S. government.
After awarding Seagal citizenship through a presidential decree earlier this month, Putin hosted the actor at the Kremlin today and handed him the passport.
Putin told Seagal he hopes the ceremony, which was shown on Russian state television, is “also a sign of a gradual normalization of the relations between the countries.”

Wow. I still remember the days when saying anything positive about Russia meant the end of your career.
Actually, I think Seagal’s career ended a long time ago.
Shows how little you know. Got Google?
Unless your name is Trump.
Now he does not need his US passport so we can take that back.
Mr. Seagal crushes Mr. Putin’s hand.
He’s shaped like the Pillsbury Doughboy these days.
The hair looks fake too.
“Actor” in the headline may be stretching it a bit. “Personality” would work. (Though, I do admit to watching some of his movies for the escapist entertainment value.)
His movies are entertaining as they can’t be taken too seriously. His up and coming co-stars are the ones who usually are doing all of the dirty work and getting their butts kicked.
hey punk, hows the weather in Mililani?
Would you like me to call your caregiver and ask her to wheel you back inside?
oh now you have a sense of humor? too late now brah.
Has been.
Holy chopsocky fans, the Aikido specialist has packed more than a few pounds under his Gi. Don’t know if he can save another battleship, hijacked plane or train from crazies bent on destroying the world.
