Steven Seagal is perceived by a large part of the public opinion as “Putin’s pet”. His close relations with Russia began long before the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, because he received Russian citizenship in 2016. He did not renounce his American citizenship at that time, but he began to appear less and less often in his homeland.
Steven Seagal starred in bad productions wholesale. In his last film he played a CIA agent
Since then, he has even starred in five films. However, these were productions of poor quality that were not even made in the United States, but in places that are cheap to make. They were also not shown in cinemas. From the beginning, they were intended for television or streaming services.
Five years ago, the somewhat forgotten actor appeared in such films as: “Nico” – “Lawless City” and “Commander-in-Chief”. The latter was created in the capital of the Philippines, Manila, and Segeal plays the role of Jake Alexander. He is a CIA agent who has devoted many years of his work to fighting criminals in Southeast Asia.
The film opens with a scene in which the main character is interrogated. What he said is very interesting, considering what happened later in the actor’s private life:
You ask questions you will never understand. I’ve done a lot of things they’ll never tell you. What is most offensive to me is that I risked my life for my homeland, I did things unimaginable to others, because I love this country so much. That’s why I feel like I’ve been betrayed. I wasn’t told what they did to us and my homeland, says the character played by Steven Seagal.
Few believe Seagal was an intelligence agent. However, no one has any doubts that he loves Russia
It should be mentioned that in the past, the actor claimed that he worked for the CIA as a young man. However, this cooperation has never been confirmed in any other way. – If I told you half of what I know, you’d be shocked. I really don’t like talking about what I did in the field. I do not like. But I can say that I worked for people who were in the CIA and I worked for the CIA. I won’t give you numbers, times or dates. He has no head for it, he said in 1988 in a recording obtained by investigative journalist Paul Barresi. However, Seagal’s character in the last film says similar things.
Don’t talk this nonsense about home and country. If you knew what I know, you wouldn’t say that. I’m leaving! – we hear in ‘The Supreme Commander’.
In the last scene of the production, Seagal dies at the hands of the CIA, and in private the actor lives in the Russian Federation. Recently, he was also spotted in Dubai. During the founding congress of the International Russophile Movement, where there were cameras and even Sergei Lavrov honored everyone with his presence, the aging actor declared: “I am 100 percent Russophile and a million percent Russian.”
