http://www.sherdog.net/fo(...)t-long-read-2136253/Explaining Steven Seagal-Troll or not?(long read)I dunno if this is the correct place for this, but with all the Seagal talk I didn't know where else to put it.
I see a lot of people asking themselves "I dunno if Seagal is insane or a troll?"
In short: he's insane and a pathologic liar.
In long:
He went to Japan as a teen where he started Aikido. After realizing that he sucks, he married the dojo owner's daughter who was in charge of the business and he, of course, got fast tracked to a black belt and became the first non-Japanese aikido black belt. He then dumped her and went back to America where he said that he was a Navy SEAL in Vietnam and occasional "Mercenary for Justice" for the CIA.
No one really knows where Seagal grew up. He said that he grew up on the mean streets of Brooklyn where he fought off the Yakuza and saved the whole place. Yes, he actually said that and he meant it. When asked about his music career he said that he grew up in Detroit and that he was raised by black musicians. Then recently, he said that he grew up in Japan. He also says that he can speak 4 languages and that he might be God.
During the filming of Never Say Never Again, the Seagull was brought to show Sean Connery some moves. On the very first training the Seagull went super rough on the 53 years old Connery and broke his wrist.
During the auditions for Under Siege 2 he demanded all the actresses to come to his private room to show him their "acting" skills. Jenny McCarthy, former Playboy Playmate, was one of them. When she entered the Seagull's room he demanded her to take off her clothes to which she responded with "Rent my Playboy video, you a*****e!" and then ran out to her car. She wasn't the only one. 9 actresses said that the Seagull was harrassing them and wanted them to strip in front of him.
During the rehearsals for Executive Decisions the Seagull came to set and said "I’m in command. Everything I say is law. Anybody doesn’t agree?" to which John Leguizamo just laughed laughed. The 6' 4" 220 pound Seagull attacked the 5'8'' 160 pound Leguizamo, kicked him then pinned him to a wall and punched him in the stomach.
In 1997, all the big name actions stars gathered at Sylvester Stallone's home in Miama for a party. During the party, the Seagull constantly kept insulting Jean Claude Van Damme, calling him a fake fighter and saying that he could kick his ass. Van Damme offered him to go to outside and see if he can back it up. The Seagull then tucked his tail between his legs and ran out of the house because, unlike him, Van Damme is an actual fighter and champ who retired with a 18-1 kickboxing record. Van Damme was pissed and chased the Seagull all the way to a club in Miami. The Seagull ran away again and Van Damme lost tracks of him. Stallone said "Van Damme was too strong. Seagal wanted none of it."
The legendary "Fight Professor" Stephen Quadros also had an interesting tale about the rascal Seagull. During the filming of Exit Wounds in 2001 the Seagull, as always, was harrassing small guys on the set. Quadros worked on the set and decided to meet the Seagull. As soon as he approached the Seagull laid sights on Quadros' nuts, so Quadros stood sideways to protect himself. The Seagull then started walking around him trying to get to his balls. Quadros then put his hands on his balls and said that he has to go. Couple of days later they met again and the Seagull grabbed Quadros's wrist. Quadros, being no slouch, countered it and kept defending himself. The Seagull soon gassed and left him alone.
You all know the Jude Gene Lebell story so I won't be talking about that one.
The Seguall, being his perverted self, had an idea for a Saturday Night Live sketch in which he'd play a psychiatrist who tries to rape his patient. Tim Meadows said that it's the worst thing he ever read.
In 2010 the Seagull was sued for sexual harrassment, again. He hired young women who were desperately in need of a job and a better life to be his "personal assistants"(read sex slaves). The Seagull "bought" two young Russian women who had to come whenever he called them to please him.
Last year the Seagull got sued for driving a tank into a man's backyard and running over his dog. The Seagull suspected that the man organizes c0ck fights, so what other way to bust them than driving with a tank into his yard? Turned out that there was no c0ck fighting.
There you have, some stories from the life of the Seagull. There's many more. I think you can all agree with me that he's batshit insane.
