Elsewhere during their visit they encountered a huge bear, who appeared to happily feed out of Steven’s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Steven did not appear alarmed by the bear’s presence and flashed a beaming smile while stood mere feet away from the creature.<\/p>\n

The appearance comes soon after\u00a0Jean-Claude Van Damme weighed in on his famous feud with Steven in the 1990s in an interview with MailOnline.<\/p>\n
Both actors were considered two of the best action heroes of the golden age of martial arts in Hollywood movies at the time, which led to a level of competitiveness and public sparring.<\/p>\n
When Jean-Claude heard Seagal belittling him in interviews, he is said to have challenged him to ‘meet him outside’ at a party at Sylvester Stallone’s Miami home in 1991 – but Steven refused to take him up on his offer.<\/p>\n
Jean-Claude spoke about the situation with MailOnline from his hotel room in Hong Kong and said: ‘If Steven doesn’t like me, that’s OK. If someone like Beethovan or Einstein didn\u2019t like me, maybe that would concern me.<\/p>\n
‘But Seagal, I don\u2019t mind him not liking me. I really don\u2019t mind. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any sort of problem.’<\/p>\n
George has stood in elections across the past five decades and his last bid saw him fail to get elected to the Scottish Parliament in 2021.<\/p>\n
Outside of his political career, he has worked in media, hosting\u00a0radio talk shows and TV programmes.<\/p>\n
He has become infamous for his time on Celebrity Big Brother, when horrified viewers watched him pretend to be a cat with\u00a0Rula Lenska.\u00a0<\/p>\n
