When tough guy Steven Seagal hangs close, one can't
help but feel safe. His glare is a lethal weapon and,
Twin Cities artist Bill Mack said, he's also got lots
of bodyguards. Seagal was the most recognizable actor
Mack saw last week when he had the largest exhibition
of his work in 20 years at Artibus in Warsaw. "I've
met him two, three times before, so we're
acquaintances," Mack said. "It was nice to spend time
with him. We got to be pretty friendly. He has gotten
bigger. He said he's already lost 12 pounds; they're
weighing his food. He's got to lose another 12. He's
shooting a movie over there." Seagal explained that
his late arrival was an attempt to avoid the
paparazzi. "There were a lot of cameras -- TV,
magazine, newspapers," Mack said. Peter Moos, the
marketing guy for Mack's gallery, Erin Taylor
Editions, reports that Bill got his fair share of
exposure. "Bill was in or on every major publication
including the Polish language version of Newsweek,"
Moos said. "It was quite the gala event and a huge
success." Mack said Seagal left this show with a piece
-- that's art, not a gun. The gala was "so hot and
crowded, it was dangerous," Mack said. Seagal "came
loaded with bodyguards. I believe he had eight. I
think he had some trouble in New York. He had quite an
entourage of [women] with him, too. I don't know if
he's married anymore." Lethal hands can be tender
sometimes.
Dunno if anyone else has seen this but i thought i would share what i read ......
