Martial arts expert and action film star Steven Seagal has expressed that he might contemplate running for the position of governor in Arizona.
Initially, the actor known for Under Siege remarked that it was somewhat of a joke, but he admitted he would ‘remotely consider it.’
The idea crossed his mind while he was accompanying a county sheriff in Arizona during the filming of his reality TV show, ‘Steven Seagal – Lawman: Maricopa County.’
In Maricopa County, located in the south-central region of Arizona, Seagal collaborated with sheriff Joe Arpaio to combat crime for a new series.
When asked about his potential run for governor, he acknowledged, ‘Probably I would have a lot more other responsibilities that may be more important to address.’
During the interview, Seagal elaborated on the challenges he believes America faces today, pointing out issues like terrorism and street crime.
Regarding what he perceives as the greatest threat to the US, he asserted: ‘Believe it or not I think it’s open borders. People are talking about “oh Islamic terror” but I don’t think it’s that, I think it’s open borders. Any kind of terrorism does (and can) come.’
