Here are 11 moments when Putin displayed his prowess at being the epitome of what a villain should be:

3. When he casually strolled down that stream, shirtless, in front of a camera

 

 

4. When he snuggled that puppy

 

 

5. And that cheetah

 

 

6. And those dolphins…

 

 

7. When he proved he can swim better than plenty of 20 year olds

 

 

8. And then kick their butts in a Judo match
