adminHe was released from prison just one year ago after serving nearly 36 months behind bars for tax evasion. Wesley Snipes is clearly enjoying life on the outside as he was spotted on Wednesday taking a leisurely walk in West Hollywood.
The 51-year-old, who just completed his first post-prison movie ‘‘The Expendables 3’’, is certainly keeping fit as his bulging muscles showed through a blue button down shirt.
Walking with the confidence of the martial arts master that he is, Snipes took his time ambling through a sun-filled parking lot.
Treading lightly in a pair of blue laceless Converse All Stars, the “Passenger 57” star sported baggy cargo trousers while carrying a small black case in his left hand.
Completing his getup was a pair of meditation beads on his left wrist as he chewed a toothpick while staying cool behind a set of aviator shades.
Meanwhile, Snipes has just wrapped his first film in years with the highly popular “Expendables” franchise, starring Sylvester Stallone.
The original ‘‘The Expendables’’ came out it 2010 and grossed over US$100 million. While the 2012 sequel, ‘‘The Expendables 2’’, drew in US$85 million.
To find out what happens in ‘‘The Expendables 3’’ you will have to wait until the summer, when it opens in cinemas on August 15, 2014.
‘‘The Blade’’ star was released in April last year from a Pennsylvania prison and transferred to house arrest after being admitted in 2010 on charges of federal tax evasion.
According to TMZ, the actor left the McKean Federal Corrections, several months shy of his 36 month sentence.
Snipes was found guilty of not paying as much as US$15 million in dividends to the government for his earnings from 1999 to 2001.
His lawyers argued that his tax advisers, Douglas P Rosile and Eddie Ray Kahn, who were also jailed, had duped their client with a claim that there were no laws requiring him to pay tax. — Daily Mail.
