Not really, but close.

Seagal, a one-time Hollywood action star who has become a punchline in recent years, was caught on camera giving a loving speech to Vladimir Putin during the Russian president’s 70th birthday celebrations Sunday in Moscow, according to the Daily Mail.

Video recorded at Putin’s lavish bash, which drew many of the country’s elites who have been targeted by Western sanctions over the Russian invasion of Ukraine, showed Seagal, wearing his customary black shirt and yellow glasses, gushing over his friendship with Mad Vlad and his cronies and his love for Russia.

“Each and every one of you, you are my family and my friends,” Seagal said during a toast, according to the Daily Mail. “And I love all of you and we stand together, through thick and through thin.”

Putin and Seagal have been pals for years, reportedly bonding over their love of martial arts, and the 70-year-old American has been a vocal supporter of Putin’s policies, including the annexation of the Crimea. Seagal was given a Russian passport in 2016 and made a special envoy to the U.S. in 2018.

Seagal once described Putin as “one of the greatest world leaders, if not the greatest world leader, alive today” and told Fox News Digital in February that an “outside entity” was causing the friction between Russia and Ukraine.

“I look at both as one family and really believe it is an outside entity spending huge sums of money on propaganda to provoke the two countries to be at odds with each other,” Seagal said.

Seagal, a martial artist who is a black belt in aikido, starred in a number of action hits during the early 1990s, including ‘Under Seige,’ but has been cranking out mostly straight-to-video flicks in recent years.

Russia’s war on Ukraine has gone on for six weeks. Ukraine has accused Russia of committing war crimes by targeting civilians during the illegal occupation.
