"Tom....if you ever tell this story.....please just mention how good of a dude I am." - Steven Seagal

[@ghostrider2664]

Tom isn't successful enough to alienate anyone lol never burn a bridge

[@kaguth]

I think Tom was just trying to save himself from a 400 pound man slapping him.

[@johnbelley1541]

More like "do I need another cease and desist for something I said trying to get some fame back" -Tom Arnold "because I know that fat bitch has lawyers waiting"

[@TheDapperSwindler]

At this point in his career Steven Seagal's belt is the only thing that's under siege. His toilet's marked for death and anyone standing between it and him is on deadly ground, because Steven has a fire down below. He's tried weight loss programs, but that appetite for Entenmann's donuts and personal XL pizzas is hard to kill.

[@Domon1106]

This is the most accurate thing ive ever read

[@badbirdkc]

I've heard him tell a better version of this story. The reason Seagal walked out the wrong door was because he and the director had been arguing for so long about rehearsing that he got turned around from the way he came in, as houseboats have doors on both sides. They all knew he was going the wrong way, and no one stopped him.

Love how the director told him not to say anything to Steven lol
