Not that we ever doubted Putin's gusto, but this is a bold move. At last night's APEC dinner, the Russian Bond-Villain-in-Chief caused a stir when he took it upon himself to drape his coat over the shoulders of Peng Liyuan, the First Lady of China.
He begins putin' the moves (see what I did there?) on Peng at 00:35 in this video:
Peng, ever the gracious host, accepts the jacket for about four seconds before promptly passing it on to an aid. "Putin Gives Peng Liyuan His Coat" briefly trended on Weibo before being harmonized, and we encourage readers to get #PutinTheMoves and/or #PutinPickupLines trending on twitter.
While we can't hear the sweet nothings that Putin whispered to Peng, we can assume they were in the ballpark of, "Oh my, this conference room is colder than my relationship with Europe. Please take coat." or something along those lines.
Oddly enough, this isn't the first time that Putin has showed his affection for Peng. Last March, while attending a conference with Xi Jinping in China, Ol' Vlad proudly delivered a hefty bouquet of flowers to the First Lady (3:12 in the video below).
From Russia With Love?
