  • WTF Happened To This Celebrity? - The JoBlo series that examines the careers of stars and filmmakers who may have fallen out of the spotlight, and tells where they are now!
    In the 1980s and 90s, Jean-Claude Van Damme used his impressive martial arts skills to become a major action star with movies like BLOODSPORT, UNIVERSAL SOLDIER, John Woo's HARD TARGET, and TIMECOP. But inflated ego, drug addiction and other bad behavior would tarnish JCVD's Hollywood reputation, and he soon found his movies lining the shelves of video stores instead of being seen on the big screen. However, the legend got clean, changed his tune and some of the DTV movies ended up being pretty good! With a new Netflix movie on the way, now's the time to catch up with the Muscles from Brussels and find out “WTF Happened to Jean-Claude Van Damme!”

    Street Fighter was so bad it’s good, I still miss Raul Julia. He did a great job playing M. Bison. R.I.P.

    He's made a lot of action classics..even if they may be a little dated..he should be celebrated.

    I still think Van Damme was robbed at least for a golden globe for JCVD in 2008

  • @djbandasa8294

    In Hell was a masterpiece

    My mum loved him so much that I remember for a large portion of the 90s there was a large poster of Van Damme doing the splits was hanging in our house

    My dad who passed last year use to play his movies with us when we we're kids. Was sort of our tradition. JCVD reminded me of my dad. Good memories.

    He seems like he used to be really arrogant but now seems to be really humbled, unlike Steven seagal

    Watching Van Damme's movies in the 90s as a child, I thought they were badass. Watching them now, a lot of them seem goofy and cheesy, but still really fun to watch. I don't care how good or bad a film is, if Van Damme is in it, I'm gonna watch it because I know I'm going to have a great time!

    JCVD was a bit of a hero growing up, physical specimen, action movie royalty, used to fight with my brother (sparring) trying to decided who was JCVD and who was Bruce Lee.

    I grew up idolizing Van Dame. He motivated me to lift weights and stay in shape. I still work out today. Thanks Jean!

    His monologue toward the end of JCVD is one of my favorite moments ever captured on film.

    JCVD should've got him an Oscar, the monologue scene makes me weep like a little boy it was that damn powerful

    I spent my entire teens training martial arts and training with weights after watching bloodsport.

    JCVD is and always will be a total legend. Love this guy.

  • @simonkammeyer4334

    I got chills watching his street fighter pre battle speech. I am 35 and I still watch it every now and then. Love it. Time cop is my shit too.

    I must have watched Hard Target 500 times!! Absolute classic! We would always hire out the VHS and watch them as a family back in the day, kickboxer, bloodsport, double impact... JCVD is an action legend!!!

    Jean Claude Van Johnson is the best thing I've ever seen JCVD in. It was amazing and it made me sad that a second season was never made.

    JCVD is for his generation what John Wayne was before him. A star of countless B-movies with big arms (Wayne is said to have used pads) who would always hit the target... who became an icon and an archetype... and who as a seasoned actor was able to show nuances that really touched the hearts of the audience.
