The movie icon, the one from Lansing, Michigan, USA, who was born on April 10, 1952, was a weird guy. She worked for the CIA, she was an Aikido black belt, fearless against the Yakuza, and she thwarted a nuclear device—it just happened that way. From this kid was born Steven Seagal, who got his name after the action hero and his life achievements uuumm are. . . errr. . . oops they are doubtful. In a temporary way during this fighter's years around 1980 through 1990 it won the world's love and made the cinema, too, but there was something still not quite right about this. Hero or conman?We focus on the intricate knowledge he has of nature and his journey to celebrity the bring to light the truth about someone who has one of the most unique life stories in entertainment.

Seagal who was born in Michigan, moved to California later, at the age of five, to live with His mother and father. His mother, referred to as Patricia Anne Fisher, a medical technician of Irish origin, was a daughter of the man of math, Samuel Steven Seagal, the man of Russian and Jewish origin. But a number of issues concerning his early life are still up for discussion. For example, his father itself was Russian-Jewish in origin, but asked: was he born in Rhode Island or grew up there? The second case means that Seagal was two generations away from Russian immigrants.

All along his life Seagal has put forth a few statements about his ethnicity, like taking on Russian-sounding slightly accent in interviews and stating that his mother was American Indian. One more thing is that he even said again in an awkward manner imitating an AAVE accent as he described his background. His dealing with Russia, but starts looking at that later.

Seagal started practicing Aikido in California and soon moved to Japan; the country widely known as the Mecca of martial arts to continue his martial arts lessons. Seagal asserted that he had learned from the first founder of aikido, Morihei Ueshiba himself although, the death of the latter occurred before he had set foot in Japan. Seagal, further, threw this mysterious challenge in the air about combating the Yakuza by himself, but there is no evidence to back these claims. It is unclear if Mr. Vonnegut was really a master of Aikido, as his ex-wife even indirectly accused Judge John who allegedly gave him his black belt due to his own laziness.

Seagal dragged his own life into the mud as much as any issue he's been associated with. Polygamy had always been the case as he was married many times, simultaneous marriages being a custom. In particular, he had an affair with his second wife while he was still wedded to the first one, and, se dee, he also slept with Kelly LeBrock whom he subsequently married. He is at present married to Erdenetuya Batsukh and they have a son while he has various children uprooted from his former relationships.

Seagal, who was not a great success in Hollywood until the 80s and the early 90s, changed the public's perception of him to the action hero in such films as "Above the Law" and "Hard to Kill". There were some bumps in the road along his career for his bad on-set behavior, lack of good acting skills and not realizing that it was a bad and right to laugh at himself. Evidence is the terrible SNL show where he thought that all laughing against him was a conspiracy.

However, Seagal generic staff has presented numerous extravagant statements to support his CIA, Green Berets, and Navy SEAL connection. Nonetheless, there are debates about whether the set of skills and training he claimed to have would allow him to do all the things he was said to be capable of.

Being a fan of dictatorships in cases of Russia and Venezuela, Seagal has received many questioning looks. He got to Swedish citizenship and was even put into the role of Putin’s personal bodyguard. Besides that, he has been in different diplomatic missions, mainly presented with a katana sword (a ninja weapon) to the Venezuelan president.

Seagal's contrasting persona ranges from him is said to be a Buddhist, an environmental activist and an animal rights activist and also a law enforcer, antiquities expert at the same time. But on the other hand, a lot of their statements have been answered with scepticism or the outright rejection.

Summing up, Steven Seagal is regarded as a tangled web of controversy, hyperboles not attested to, and lack of significant proof about his accomplishments. Contrary to all the hype, which is associating him with the movie business, his work and relationships rather create some confusion. Whether he is a misunderstood genius or a master manipulator remains up for debate, but one thing is for sure: Steven Seagal is being remembered as Rambo/kickboxing mafia warrior annually.
