Vladimir Putin once again appeared to be unable to control a twitchy leg during his lengthy interview with US right-wing journalist Tucker Carlson earlier this week.
The Russian president spent half an hour of the sit-down chat on an almost uninterrupted ramble covering 1,200 years of Eastern European history.
But some viewers were distracted by his apparent need to physically push down his knee to prevent his leg from moving around.
It’s been an odd habit of Putin’s for a while – stretching back at least as far as September 2022, when the appendage started twitching during a speech in front of schoolchildren in the exclave of Kaliningrad.
The bizarre wiggling movement returned last year during the 71-year-old’s high-profile meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
Some observers have linked it to possible health issues, after years of rumours suggesting he is suffering from terminal cancer or early-stage Parkinson’s disease.
Restless legs syndrome, also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is common in people who have Parkinson’s – although it can have other causes.
The Kremlin has repeatedly denied that Putin is living with any serious health conditions.

LOL! We all saw the interview. It went on for 2 hours. He looked fine and was obviously quite mentally sharp.
Nobody’s buying this “he’s got Cancer/Parkinson’s/something else and is gonna drop dead any minute now!” routine y’all have been trying to sell for years.
Shades of Dr Stangeglove.
Putin said in this interview that the the Poles forced Hitler to start World War II.
Oh yeah that explains this guy.
Surprised he did leap out of his chair with a “Mein Fuherer!”
A fascinating interview and all they can focus on is his fidgeting??????
didnt
Putin’s brain knows he is telling lies and is workinf in overdrive while spinning a great story with his revisionist history lesson. When he talks too fast for too long he can’t control the wrestless leg. He also talks fast to avoid any followup questions.

Elvis would shake below the waist too, ya know. FWIW. And not for nothin’.
Yep!!
“Hitler did it, so why cant I???”
Putin=Hitler has never been more clear.
Did you miss our POTUS, from Our Lady of…, yelling at clouds, asking who ate the strawberries, and referencing the Mexican blockade of Gaza?
Our country is in serious trouble domestically and you Neocons babble about Putin.
Probably nothing other than restless leg syndrome. I notice it sometimes for myself. I guess the body double has Putins mannerisms and movements down pat. /s
What a meaningless post to actual Americans.
Our domestic problems are self evident. What would you have me do about it?
It’s also wrong. It implies there was nothing in Moscow at those times.
Why do you say “our”?
You are obviously a paid and maybe paying propagandist. How and why you’re still here is a mystery.
Take a wild guess...
Again, what would you have me do here per OUR domestic issues?
Putin looked pretty good for a man who has died from cancer over 50 times.
You personally have been tryin to convince us Putin has died of cancer numerous times. Give it a rest.
