Tubby star Steven Seagal poses with fruit and veg in meet with Belarus president

The actor posed up a storm with the gifts he was given by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko

YOU’LL probably know him as the action hero with a talent for martial arts and jet black hair.

But Steven Seagal was sporting a slightly different look during a visit to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko this week.

The 64-year-old star met with the leader on Wednesday, and sported an all-black outfit along with oval orange shades.

It was the gifts he was greeted with which were most surprising though – as Steven was treated to a bounty of watermelons and carrots.

Even better, the Hollywood star had no problem posing up a storm with the fresh produce.

Cue shot of Steven gripping a carrot which was perfectly matched to his sunnies.

Then he had a joke with the massive melons, clutching them to his chest as he giggled in front of photographers.

Steven was at the president’s home in the capital Minsk, and the fruit and veg were far from the only delicacy he was met with.

The star also had a feast of LARD, which is one of the delicacies Belarus is known for.

The actor’s visit to meet President Lukashenko has raised some eyebrows, as the country has been labelled ‘Europe’s last dictatorship’ in the past.

According to Presidential spokeswoman Natalya Eismont the movie star has “long wanted to meet” the ruler.

It’s far from his only trip to that area of the world though, as Steven is known to have a friendship with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

He’s regularly hosted by the president and has previously praised the controversial figure.
