Steven Seagal has expressed the desire to become the governor of Arizona, but his new dream may not come true after all thanks to the misogynist remarks he made on female journalists in an old interview.

In 1988, while giving an interview to Gallery magazine, the 'Above the Law' star used the c-word to describe a female reporter and also called Washington Post's Sally Quinn and other female journalists a "bunch of f***ing dirty whores," the New York Post reported.

Paul Barresi, a private investigator who worked for Seagal's producing partner, Jules Nasso, post their fall-out, told the publication that even though the interview is 25 years old, it shows Seagal's true colors, which are not all red, white and blue.
