Who would have thought, Titiek Soehart o, the fourth child of former president Soeharto, has a close friendship with senior Hollywood action actor, Steven Seagal. After being separated for so long, they finally met again in Bali on January 4, 2025.
Titiek certainly did not want to miss this precious moment, and immediately immortalized it in a photo and shared it on her personal Instagram account.
" Bali, January 4, 2025. So happy to meet again with Steven Seagal, an old friend who I haven't seen for more than 20 years ," wrote Titiek on her Instagram on January 7, 2025.
In the first photo, Titiek and Steven are seen posing formally. Titiek is wearing an elegant white kebaya, combined with a red batik-patterned cloth and scarf. Meanwhile, Steven, who is tall, is wearing a long light brown shirt and matching pants, standing straight with his arms folded.
In the second photo, the two look more relaxed as they sit. On the table, there is a board signed by Steven Seagal as a souvenir. However, Titiek did not explain when exactly they became friends, although Seagal has been widely known in Indonesia since the 90s.
Steven Seagal, who is also an Aikido martial arts teacher, first visited Indonesia in 1994 during the inauguration of the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Jakarta. The event was attended by many top Hollywood stars, including Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis. After the event, Seagal reportedly vacationed in Bali and met Titiek at an international club.
Titiek's upload on Instagram also received a lot of attention from netizens. Many were surprised to learn that Didit Hediprasetyo's mother had a close relationship with this legendary actor. Positive comments poured in, showing how interesting their friendship is.
A few years ago, Steven Seagal also shocked the public when he was reported to have visited Kalimantan. In a viral video, he was warmly welcomed by local traditional figures. Seagal, who was wearing traditional clothing, was seen interacting with the local people, showing respect and interest in their culture.
Not only that, Seagal also appeared at the Film Festival in Sarawak, Malaysia, where he expressed his admiration for the beauty of the culture and the friendliness of the local people. " It's pure, simple and charming ," he said at a press conference.
