The "Muscles From Brussels" appeared on the Late Show with Dave in September 1994 to promote his movie "Timecop" and to provoke some impromptu laughter from Paul Shaffer.
jean claude van damme has alot more class in interviews then steven seagal,and so what if he did coke its not like hes saying you should do it to.And he knows he fucked up when he got addicted to coke.He still has come along way from just being a skinny kid from belgium,i respect him for that .
JCVD said something I never heard no other action fighter/ actor say: he said if it wasn't for Bruce Lee, him, Stallone, Chan, Norris, etc wouldn't have a job.what a class act!& he is funny too.
In the 90s I was so excited every time knowing there was a new Jean-Claude movie getting ready to come to the big screen regardless if it was good or bad
and a lot of insecurity that he was trying desperatly to hide .. in fact .. far from the "image" of van damme in movies... he did anything to be particulary in movies and in these american shows .. he flew from belgium to usa with his ex best friend mohamed qissi alias "tang po"..he gave up his friend as soon as he became successful .. he was always the little insecure boy doing anything to be in the movies .. he tries hard to sound indifferent but you can t hide your real nature
@@oullahtakanebghikawilihbib9305 He put Qissi in two of his movies when he started to become successful, making him the main villain in Kickboxer. It's not Van Damme's fault that audiences wanted to see him and not Qissi
@@mylord_1579true I still like Seagal too but I like JCVD more cause he ca joke around and laugh at himself Seagal absolutely can't he's way too serious
I love JCVD. I mean, yeah, he's kind of a goober, but he's foreign, give him a break. But you cannot deny his charisma and confidence and love of life and career.
I love when Hollywood's greatest stars were a bunch of awesome foreigners, one with a funnier accent than the other. What a great time. Hollywood and its people are so boring and forgettable now.
I’ve been of JCVD since I was 7 years old. The first three films that I saw of him were in this order: No Retreat, No Surrender, Black Eagle, and Bloodsport. I have about ten of his films, those three I need to buy.
Jean van damme didn't speak english well that s why this interview was so funny... but when he said "when i fuck my self" i almost died of laught... oh my god THE BEST :)
Dear Jean-Claude I am a fan of yours too and I’m thinking about joining the film industry when I grow up and to all of you guys in Hollywood thank you for being inspirational to me
I’m still in high school right now and I’m considering starting my professional acting in Hollywood once I’m at least 18-20 years old Currently I do high school theatre and next year I’m considering joining International Thesbian Society, a program for young actors where you tour the country going to the best theatre company’s I just want to be a child as long as I can Most child actors probably have to make big sacrifices in exchange for fame and fortune I wanna be 15 for as long as I can
@@YeahitsMeSylvia thats fantastic! keep going and never give i also wanted to go into acting but all that fell apart when i had nodular acne and there was no way of getting rid of it back in 2014 and i still have the scars from it anyways Just try your best your young also you should post videos like vlogs,exercises, or boxing strangers to expose your talents and Good Luck I hope you make it on the big screen🖐
Thank you sir for your encouragement You can still make it out into Hollywood I have severe eczema and acne due to allergies. Just eat healthy, excercise, use your medicines everyday and there are some Neutrogena foundations for acne like yours and mine I have cystic acne and discoloring I’m also a more curvier girl So I’ve had my insecurities Btw actors suffer from acne too It just gets covered up by makeup and airbrushing Google Younger Brad Pitt for example He had serious acne as a teen As long as you have confidence and high esteem and talent, you can achieve anything -Sylvia U.
Wlasnie dzis w TV angielskiej ogladalam Jean Claude Van Damme .Wystepowal w filmie pt:Za zamknietymi drzwiami:Pokazywali jego rodzine jak spedzaja Swieta Bozego Narodzenia w Kanadzie w bardzo duzym apartamencie....Czesto tez ogladam jego wywiady w TV.Jean lubi zartowac,wspanialy facet.....
Say what you will about JCVD but he was very charming, humble, charismatic and funny in this interview. He's been like that in most interviews but it was a lot being on a show like Letterman. He did seem quite nervous at times but that made him endearing. Yes I'm gay for Van Damme.
I came here mainly because I heard he had a 10k a week cocaine habit in the 90's and wanted to see. At first I was like 'he seems perfectly sober' then 4:30 hits. Letterman's face says it all.
As Belgian, JCVD was my hero when I was kid. Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Double Impact. Memories, memories. I strated martial arts because of him. JCVD realized the real American Dream. Today, the american dream is being a Climate change or LGTBQRS activist, cutting your cawk. Whats went wrong....I miss the 80s and the 90s so much...
Man JCVD is such a cool guy, i live in Canada and man i love that guy, i grew up watching his movies. I'm not gay but i'd do anything he wants me to him. Thanks for the upload.
hahah did you guys catch that? when he said "snow in Christmas, like in New York. Not like in Hollywood". White powder in Hollywood? haha cocain reference I think. 😆
JCVD What’s so nice about Steven Seagal. The funny thing is at Sylvester Stallone’s house, in Miami JCVD called out Steven Seagal to fight outside because he kept talking shit about JCVD, jc Didn’t want to break anything in the house. and Steven Seagal would not fight or come out the house! You guys should go listen to it on Howard Stern, Stallone was telling the story about what happened.
Seagal knew better than to go out there and fight him. But if he isn't willing to face the music like the big bad man he says he is then he shouldn't talk shit.
@Kyros Here's what Sly said: "At a party in my home in Miami in 1997, Van Damme was tired of Seagal claiming he could kick his ass so he offered Seagal outside into my back yard. Seagal made his excuses and left. But Van Damme, who was berserk, tracked him down at a nightclub and offered him out again. Van Damme was too strong. Seagal wanted none of it."
There is a scene in his series where he challenges his daughter's boyfriend to spare and he is rough with him. The boyfriend was terrified as he tried to defend himself and this guy who is twice his age is making him look foolish in front of his girlfriend.
jean claude van damme has alot more class in interviews then steven seagal,and so what if he did coke its not like hes saying you should do it to.And he knows he fucked up when he got addicted to coke.He still has come along way from just being a skinny kid from belgium,i respect him for that .
He points this fact out in the movie "JVCD" in a very eloquent way. He had to overcome a lot of obstacles to become a star.
A good decent man 🙏
JCVD said something I never heard no other action fighter/ actor say: he said if it wasn't for Bruce Lee, him, Stallone, Chan, Norris, etc wouldn't have a job.what a class act!& he is funny too.
That's why Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat is so perfect ;)
@@user-do2tn9ci8t TRUE!

Well, in the 90's all of vandamme movies were good, except street fighter maybe
Knock Off, baby! I actually consider it my favorite of his. So fun and really benefitted from having an asian director. Very underrated!
+1
I like him a lot. He’s really charming.
Jean showed a lot more respect for Steven Seagal than Seagal did for him.
Seagal is a cheat anyone trained in any real martial art wipes the floor with Seagal
He answered these questions with humour and grace.
and a lot of insecurity that he was trying desperatly to hide .. in fact .. far from the "image" of van damme in movies... he did anything to be particulary in movies and in these american shows .. he flew from belgium to usa with his ex best friend mohamed qissi alias "tang po"..he gave up his friend as soon as he became successful .. he was always the little insecure boy doing anything to be in the movies .. he tries hard to sound indifferent but you can t hide your real nature

Times at your side Van Damme: YOUR THE BOSS.A true gentleman.
His charisma is infectious😂
"Go to your room!!!", "No, no stay here" and silence. Priceless!!!
With his natural mullet
Van Damme is chill as hell. Seagal was the one with the ego.
There's no in-between we're Steven seagal you either like him or you hate them but honestly they're both badass in their own little ways
@@mylord_1579true I still like Seagal too but I like JCVD more cause he ca joke around and laugh at himself Seagal absolutely can't he's way too serious
J.C.V.D
"I was not always like that"
Seagal
"I was born an Akido master and as a GOD"
I was never a JCVD movie fan but I have to admit he is a classy guy.
He is a class act! No one is better than him.
I love JCVD. I mean, yeah, he's kind of a goober, but he's foreign, give him a break. But you cannot deny his charisma and confidence and love of life and career.
He is very humble now.
Lol, Corey you wouldn't give that "compliment" to him in real life. You know what that makes you now dontchya. :)
Goober? I don't think so.
I’m a foreigner too... what does goober mean?
@@michaellawrence8289 How can you misspell the name of someone you are replying to? His name is the first thing you see.
Love him, very humble and a lovely guy. God Bless him..!!
Amen 🙏
So handsome
And you are so hot Helga 😋
The way he kept his cool..even knowing the crowd (probably drunk kids) were laughing at his English..great example on how to be a man.
Woohoo
Never thought that way
No one laughed at him, wtf were you watching? They were laughing at his jokes and facial expressions to his jokes
No they Love him, they're just very excited and having fun
I love when Hollywood's greatest stars were a bunch of awesome foreigners, one with a funnier accent than the other. What a great time. Hollywood and its people are so boring and forgettable now.
That’s why no body talks to you

This man has the skill also the brain. Love him.
Just finished watching Double Impact. Great stuff!
Dude you have to check out JCVD, it's truly amazing. (i mean the movie called JCVD)
Just shows the type of character J.C.V.D is speaking highly of S.S anytime asked about him compare to S.S always talking down on him.
JCVD i have loved this guy for sooo many many many years. My muscles 💪 from Brussels guy ❤️❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪💪
Jean van damme didn't speak english well that s why this interview was so funny... but when he said "when i fuck my self" i almost died of laught... oh my god THE BEST :)

Can’t wait to see ya there 😉😉
Love JCVD!
they should switch seats. jcvd needs his late night show
God that man was perfect!!!!
Van Damme is humble and great 👍
03:31 "STOP LAUGHING, GUYS". Genius.
6:04 "when I fuck my self and I win? LMAO the best
PabloSantaFe87 That's too funny lmao
PabloSantaFe87 I think its fought with an accent :O
FOUGHT dirty people :D
I love how JC talks about David's watermelon being taped and fixed...You can tell Dave was pissed lol
This guy could charm the pants off anything.
I love how he does his dance from Kickboxer!
Fantastic sense of humor of Jean Claude !!!!
Awesome when he dance ! Super
When I fought myself and I win everything is possible.
this is fucking deep, and people didn't take him seriously while he would have deserved it.
LOVE U 🤩😍JEAN CLAUDE VAN DÄMME 🥰
Pure class.

time cop great movie
Jean Claude should have given a 360 kick to Letterman.
that would have been well deserved ahah
Relax
Wow, he was wearing a hell of a nice suit n tie for that interview.
This interview highlights why JCVD was so popular: he was fun, confident, but didn't really take himself too seriously.
Say what you will about JCVD but he was very charming, humble, charismatic and funny in this interview. He's been like that in most interviews but it was a lot being on a show like Letterman. He did seem quite nervous at times but that made him endearing. Yes I'm gay for Van Damme.
Very best year for Vandamme
i never knew he was sooo funny
A real of all

He started cocaine at 1996.
@@Ehrle6969 not necessarily
"That's a movie melon."
oh what a pretty and nice guuuyy with a cute accent!! I can totally imagine why Steven Seagal hated/hates him so much..
He and Steven Seagall always get asked about one another, and Van-Damme has much more respect for Seagall, than Seagall has for Van Damme.
dirtypms seagal has always been a hater for jcvd
Cause Seagal is a narcissistic prick.
Seagal is a fucking sack of shit who thinks he's better than everybody
I don't think he respects Steven, he's just not a douchebag like Steven.
4:29 best dancing scene with unknown blond lady :)
10:02 left him hanging lmao .. Letterman was like FUCK I am screwed on live TV.
As Belgian, JCVD was my hero when I was kid. Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Double Impact. Memories, memories. I strated martial arts because of him. JCVD realized the real American Dream. Today, the american dream is being a Climate change or LGTBQRS activist, cutting your cawk.
Whats went wrong....I miss the 80s and the 90s so much...
Unlike most Jean doesn't let fame get in the way
He was nervous and fighting to be calm.after all he is one of the best of best
buzahra ful he was off the white
He's actually telling Dave to get over himself lol.
Man JCVD is such a cool guy, i live in Canada and man i love that guy, i grew up watching his movies. I'm not gay but i'd do anything he wants me to him. Thanks for the upload.
ReturnOfJackDawson Are you sure you are not gay?? 😂
happy 55th birthday jean claude van damme !!!!!!!!!
I think that he’s 57 or 58 now but he’s still awesome
hahah did you guys catch that? when he said "snow in Christmas, like in New York. Not like in Hollywood". White powder in Hollywood? haha cocain reference I think. 😆
oh great video thanks mate

Yeah it looks like: "when i fuck my self and i win" hahahaha

That one time JCVD took over Letterman.
"Everything is possible!"
Great 👍 video clip guys.❤️❤️❤️❤️
BEST VAN DAMME
5:48 is very inspirational. Through all the shenanigans...
my childhood VHS tapes
My fav.
3:08 listen your gonna do great 👌
Did he just say the f word on national television 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao this is gold
JCVD What’s so nice about Steven Seagal. The funny thing is at Sylvester Stallone’s house, in Miami JCVD called out Steven Seagal to fight outside because he kept talking shit about JCVD, jc Didn’t want to break anything in the house. and Steven Seagal would not fight or come out the house! You guys should go listen to it on Howard Stern, Stallone was telling the story about what happened.
Ammar Nemo Actor Steven Even is one Not nice in person. Personally it’s very jealous of JCVD is big time and loved by everyone..!
Seagal knew better than to go out there and fight him. But if he isn't willing to face the music like the big bad man he says he is then he shouldn't talk shit.
on this french show they talk about this story and JCVD makes a hilarious Stalone impression at the end: czcams.com/video/xMo7Ip8bjQ4/video.html

Yep. Seagal says that van damme isn’t genuine. At least JCVD is respectful and avoids answering this question
4:32: OH MY GOSH WHAT PLANET AM I ON!?
He was such a good looking but those God damn huge suits didn't do him justice
van damme- 18 wins and 1 loss, steven segal- a bunch of belts (and he runs funny)
He's so nervous and trying to be straight forward but I think they're just digging him and he's not used to that!
Jean Claude would smoke Seagal. He’d smoke him then AND NOW!👏
Looks like JCVD might be getting a little annoyed at Dave early on
hilarious but so true.
3:08 listen your gonna do great sounds so cool 😂😎
I watched that episode when it aired.
Good show
Seeing the world trade center makes me sad 4:09+ 😢
fucking legend
'' a lot of snow not like in Hollywood '' DID HE REALLY SAY THAT ON TV? LMAOOOO
lol he did
Wintertime weather .
he has been always humble Van damme
Cute!
Paul has a natural mullet.
thats the secret to success.
8.02 the bodylanguage when david talked about steven seagal
He is from street fighter
2:25 lowkey flex 😂😂
It must be very frustrating when you keep getting interrupted all the time.
Remember: Van Damme had real kickboxing matches. Seagal got stretched out by 70 year old Gene LeBell.
2:07 😂😂
6:02 they understood “ when I fuck my self and I win” instead of fought XD
He clearly say fought
