Steven Seagal receives rare honor at Baku Walk of Fame ceremony

The famous Hollywood Walk of Fame currently has over 2,600 stars with the names of prominent figures. Interestingly, you won't find Steven Seagal's name engraved there. However, the former action movie hero can boast a star on the Walk of Fame in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.

No Hollywood star has yet received such an honour. Furthermore, Steven Seagal has become only the sixth person in the world to have their name on the Sea Breeze Walk of Fame, located in the capital of Azerbaijan. It's worth noting that this is not Seagal's first visit to Baku. A few months ago, he gave a guitar concert there and participated in several projects by Emin Agalarov, a leading Azerbaijani artist overseeing the Walk of Fame in his country.

As it turns out, Seagal has been friends with the folk artist for years. "I am grateful for the creativity that Emin brings into my life and for his friendship and support. It is a great joy for me to visit beautiful Baku again and take part in the ceremony of laying a personal star," Seagal said.

"We are honoured to lay the star of Steven Seagal, who is my great friend. He is a true cinema legend, an amazing musician. Everyone loves him in Azerbaijan. I am honoured to be his friend," Emin Agalarov reciprocated.

Steven Seagal has become the sixth person to have their name on the Sea Breeze Walk of Fame. Before him, this honour was experienced by Muslim Magomayev, Tamara Sinyavskaya, Nani Bregvadze, Engelbert Humperdinck, and Alessandro Safina.

In photos in Azerbaijani media, the former action movie hero, dressed in his traditional black outfit, is seen marching down the red carpet and greeting young people. Unfortunately, his current activities are not limited to such innocent ceremonies. Two weeks ago, Seagal received the Order of Friendship from Vladimir Putin. Later, in a propaganda speech, he claimed that Ukraine is known, among other things, for child trafficking for sexual purposes and Nazism and fascism.
