Putin 'black eye' sparks rumours in Russia and Ukraine

Gerald · 10-28-10, 01:15 PM

The sight of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin with apparent bruising to his face has sparked rumours he is ill or has undergone cosmetic surgery.

The famously macho politician, 58, seemed to be wearing heavy make-up when he was photographed with a dark patch around one eye on a visit to Ukraine.

Some suggested Russia's best-known black belt had suffered a judo injury.

But his office denied the mark was a bruise, putting his looks down to a busy schedule and poor lighting.

Well going by how vain he is I would say cosmetic surgery. I mean hes gotta keep 'The Look' for the ladies right.

He seemed so manly before. Plastic surgery is a "turn in your man card" thing.

tater · 10-28-10, 10:05 PM

PS—he'd certainly lose to Noris now, he'd throw up his hands and scream "not the face!"

Maybe that tiger he "shot" got some revenge????

or maybe he had a few too many the night before?
