Back in 1991, an infamous incident occurred during the filming of Out for Justice involving Steven Seagal, a renowned martial artist.
The story goes that Seagal, known for his Aikido skills, claimed he could not be choked out.
However, “Judo” Gene LeBell, an uncredited stunt performer and American Judo expert, decided to put that claim to the test.
Despite Seagal’s confidence, he was indeed choked out by LeBell, leading to a rather embarrassing outcome – Seagal allegedly soiled himself, both defecating and urinating.
For years, this incident was shrouded in secrecy, with the entire cast reportedly under strict orders not to discuss what had transpired.
However, the silence was broken recently when LeBell addressed the matter during an interview on The MMA Hour hosted by Ariel Helwani.
When asked about the incident, LeBell offered a rather diplomatic response, suggesting that accidents can happen, especially after consuming a large meal shortly before the demonstration.
While LeBell did not outright confirm the soiling incident, he did share some insights into his thoughts on Seagal as a martial artist.
Acknowledging Seagal’s skill and contribution to the martial arts world, LeBell also expressed his doubts about Seagal’s ability to train mixed martial artists effectively.
He even hinted at a potential confrontation between Seagal and Randy Couture, suggesting that Couture, if provoked, could easily overpower Seagal in a match.
LeBell’s parting advice seemed to caution Seagal against making inflammatory remarks that could backfire.
