Vladimir Putin has made a lot of political enemies - but that hasn't stopped him becoming friends with a number of celebrities.
The Russian President likes to keep his personal life out of the limelight but always makes sure the cameras are there when he's meeting an A-lister.
Putin was snapped with singer Paul McCartney before a concert in Moscow in 2003, sat with actor Jack Nicholson at the Moscow International Film Festival in 2001 and was even in correspondence with Pamela Anderson.
