My favorite Steven Seagal story, from his Wikipedia page:

Seagal has been accused by former stunt performers who have worked with him, including Kane Hodder, Stephen Quadros, and Gene LeBell, of intentionally hitting stuntmen during scenes. Additionally, while serving as stunt coordinator for Out for Justice, LeBell allegedly got into an on-set altercation with Seagal over his mistreatment of some of the film's stunt performers. After the actor claimed that, due to his aikido training, he was "immune" to being choked unconscious, LeBell offered Seagal the opportunity to prove it. LeBell is said to have placed his arms around Seagal's neck, and once Seagal said "go", proceeded to choke him unconscious, with Seagal losing control of his bowels. Seagal bodyguard and stuntman Steven Lambert stated he was present and said that a confrontation did happen, during which Seagal elbowed LeBell before he could lock the hold on Seagal, after which LeBell flipped Seagal.

Lol imagine thinking that aikido training means your brain doesn't need oxygen.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 15 points 14 hours ago

Well, I would have guessed that less brain needs less oxygen, but I'm clearly wrong.

A movie producer I worked with in my time in the industry had done a movie with Segal in which Segal was to shoot a gun. Segal said he would only use a very specifically modified AR15. The production purchased the AR with all of the upgrades Segal requested. Segal fired it one time, said it was too loud and had too much kickback and he wanted to use a prop instead.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 51 points 18 hours ago (15 children)

He said an AR-15 had too much recoil? Is he made of tissue paper, or did they mod it to fire artillery shells? Christ, one of the demos they did for us at our first live fire in basic training was having one of our fellow soldiers hold an M-16 stock UP TO HIS NUTS and fire it downrange to show just how little recoil they had. I'm not kidding, I personally witnessed this. I have also put at least 20,000 rounds through M-16's and AR-15's in my life. They don't kick. Seagal is a pussy.

Do you know what happened to the gun afterwards?

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 9 points 14 hours ago

The producer has it.

I'm just using your story as an excuse to promote Bobby Fingers. Check out a diorama on the confrontation.

It's truly a gem of a story. I can only hope Seagal thinks of it frequently, and has yet to accept himself and heal.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 37 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

On the other hand, when Seagal was asked about the incident, he directly denied the allegations, calling LeBell a "sick, pathological scumbag liar", and offered the name of a witness who could prove LeBell had fabricated the entire story. The claim garnered a heated response from LeBell's trainee Ronda Rousey, who said that Seagal was the one lying, and declared "If [Seagal] says anything bad about Gene to my face, I'd make him crap his pants a second time."

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 13 points 18 hours ago

I love this. If it were a lie, I'm certain he'd sue them for defamation. Honestly, they probably should have sued him for calling them liars. Make him go to court over it and get it all documented. That would be the funniest thing to happen.

Based on the picture it looks like he vowed to never take another shit for the rest of his life.

He looks like that old fat fuck that washes up at a camping trip who everyone knows and no one wanted them there.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 156 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Good to know that I, too, have the body of an action movie star.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 18 points 15 hours ago

"Star," like that chair, is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

People these days just don't appreciate a strong and healthy frame when they see one.

You may not like it, but this is what peak male performance looks like.

I'm surprised the NKs haven't cannibalized him out of desperation yet

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 26 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

They tried, but he Akidoed them all to death by using their own energy against them and eating them first.

Holy-diabetic-cow... Please please put the Russian jabba on the next Expendables. He can just sit on Statham while he slaps fights Stallone!

to be morbidly obese at 72 doesnt typically end well.

[–] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 33 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

none of us will end well. 72 is a great run. so many who don't even get that far. nobody gets out of this thing alive.

Imagine we had John Candy until 72 and Steven Seagal only lasted until 43.
