Here’s an awkward video of Steven Seagal eating a dictator's carrot

Cape Town – Steven Seagal met up with Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus, to talk about fresh produce.

The green-fingered Belarusian strongman showed off his watermelons and carrots and even got the 64-year-old to taste them.

Footage posted by the presidential press service showed the authoritarian leader picking up a long carrot, quickly peeling it and handing it to the black-clad martial arts star who was visiting his country residence.

"Here you are: eat it for your health, it's very good for you," said Lukashenko, as Seagal chewed politely.

Seagal was in Belarus for talks with games developer Wargaming, famed for its World of Tanks video.
