Speculations has been made that the veteran Hollywood actor Steven Seagal will be making movie with the Filipino boxing champ after the actor made a visit at the Los Angeles home of Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao. The 57-year-old Hollywood martial arts hero is one of the most bankable stars of the ’90s. He is known for his blockbuster movie hits like “Out for Justice” (1991) and “Under Siege” (1992).

In an interview with reporters present at the meeting, Seagal admitted to being a big fan of the pound-for-pound king. Seagal states: “I’ve always loved him. I think he is the best boxer in the world right now. I’m just a huge fan.”

On the other hand, Manny Pacquiao also admitted that, like most Filipinos his age, he grew up watching Seagal movies. “I feel so lucky and I’m so happy to [have Segal] visit me here in my house, [as] he is my idol. Actually, I always watch his movies. I ‘m speechless when he arrived because…I can’t believe [that I] finally met Steven Seagal.”

The boxer, who is also a wannabe actor, he last appeared as a masked hero in a movie called “Wapakman” last year. The Pinoy boxing hero is excited about the prospects of working with Seagal.

“I’m excited just thinking about it, about the movie.”
