Captf572fec9e96f4320a2047f0603d6da7 U.S. filmmaker Oliver Stone kicked a soccer ball and chewed coca leaves with Bolivia's leftist President Evo Morales earlier this week, reports the Associated Press.

The two men had their fun during an interview for a documentary Stone is planning on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a close ally of Morales.

Photos released by the Bolivian government show Morales and Stone chewing coca and kicking a ball around the lawn of the presidential residence in La Paz.
