If you think politicians lead boring lives, think again.

Not too long ago we showed what the world's leaders would look like if they got a badass makeover.

In real life, these guys may not have the same level of street style swag, but you might be surprised to know some of these diplomats are actually just as badass when they're not suited up and standing behind a podium.

Case in point: Vladimir Putin.

This Russian leader means business, showing off how insanely epic he is by posing with a polar bear or riding a Harley with the Hell's Angels.

But aside from Putin, there are a bunch of other presidents and prime ministers who do some pretty awesome stuff we don't always see in the media.

Whether it's the Queen of England firing an enormous military rifle, Obama shooting pool in a bar or George Bush jumping out of a plane, what these guys do in their free time proves world leaders are anything but boring.

Take a look at the picture below to see some of the most badass world leaders.
