The Steven Seagal Good Morning Britain interview meme originated from a 2017 satellite appearance by the action star on the UK morning show. Speaking from Russia, Seagal's appearance—specifically his intensely dark widow's peak and goatee, tinted glasses, and high-collared black outfit—immediately drew comparisons to 1980s video game villains and B-movie antagonists. The image quickly went viral as social media users mocked the surreal aesthetic of the interview, using it to joke about everything from character customization screens to undercover agents. Today, the template remains a favorite for situations involving questionable disguises, dramatic transformations, or general internet absurdity.
