You may not like him, but the man’s in his seventies. This is what a person in their seventies looks like.
Well yeah, if you spend your life doing martial arts of combat sports your joints are probably absolutely fucked, and you’ve got no hope of getting meaningful exercise in without considerable pain. Hell, I’ve done BJJ for only ten years and my knees are a wreck. I know Seagal is into aikido and shit, but being rich I don’t blame him for being fat in his seventies. It’s really fucking hard to stay in shape when you get old.
Can’t outrun the fork, fatty.
Caloric deficit > killing yourself on a treadmill
Weight loss is just math.
Yeah no, if you actually spend your life doing sports and eating well you don’t look like that.
As a counter example, Jackie Chan is in his 70s and looks like this:
Another example, US Secretary of Defense who is still serving and only retired from the military in 2016 and has seen literal combat, and is 71:
If you’ve wrecked your knees with only 10 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu it’s likely because you started at a later age, and/or didn’t start off really fit but rather got fit through it.
Or have a predisposition to having weaker knees, such as being primarily of European ancestry (weaker joints + arthritis more likely in exchange for plague resistance).
Old people don’t magically become fat.
That’s a surprisingly kind view of things, but yeah, my dad did mountaineering his whole life and fucked his knees proper, but also likes to enjoy good food, so now in his seventies and with diabetes creeping in, it’s a perfect combo for becoming fat.
I guess it’s a bit easier to mock Steven Seagal because he’s been so fit in his movies throughout most of his career, and now it turns out he was an asshole all along, on top of looking like an asshat even when I loved his movies. But mocking him for being an older human still feels rather cheap.
