A few days ago Steven Seagal was on the MMA Hour. Famous MMA reporter Ariel Helwani asked him several questions regarding MMA, Anderson Silva, Chael Sonnen etc...
At the end of the interview Helwani asked Seagal whether he knew Bruce Lee.
Seagal replied he knew Bruce Lee through James Coburn and that he met him several times at Lee´s house.
Immediately I asked myself whether this could be true or not.
Let´s analyse it. Famous actor James Coburn was Seagal´s martial arts student as we all know. There´s the famous interview on youtube in which Seagal accompanied Coburn on the Merv Griffin show and did a martial arts demonstration. That was back in 1982.
Bruce Lee however, died in 1973. I asked myself how can Seagal knew Bruce Lee when he was only 21 years old at the time?
At the time Seagal was no master in Aikido. How can he knew James Coburn?
In my opinion James Coburn was later his Martial Arts student but never at the beginning of the seventy´s.
Somehow I doubt that Seagal knew Bruce Lee.
What do you all think about it?
