Action movie star Jean Claude Van Damme is one of the most well-known faces from Hollywood in the 1980’s & 1990’s. His roles in Kickboxer and Bloodsport made him a superstar, and he went on to star in leading roles in multiple box office smash hits.

His jumping kicks and dapper appearance made him a cut above the rest during Van Damme’s prime, and it wasn’t just martial arts roles he could fill.

The Muscles From Brussels

Van Damme’s fame didn’t come without a certain degree of adversity though, as addiction and the temptation of Hollywood life presented many troubles for ‘The Muscles From Brussels.’

After being arrested for driving under the influence of cocaine in 1999, JCVD went cold turkey and kicked the habit. He was also diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, openly talking about the illness in many media appearances.

Bianca Van Damme Interview

From TrainWreckdSociety

We know that you obviously had some major influences in your life, but I’d like to know what made you personally want to join the world of acting? What did you find most attractive about the field?

Personally acting has never been something I wanted to achieve in my life but growing up in the industry, obviously mindsets change. My main goal is to direct and before stepping into that I was always told it’s smart to know what it’s like in front of the camera before stepping behind it. I’ll tell you something funny, I’ve always wanted to achieve so much in one life time and realized you could only really have one “career” choice, wether it’s a doctor or a mechanic, etc. That always freaked me out and made me realize with acting I could be anything I want so that’s what really made think, “Hey, this isn’t that bad” I mean what’s better than a grown up playing pretend? I love watching the classics from cary grant and Audrey Hepburn etc, I really get lost and I want people to get lost while watching my films wether its what I’m in or directing.
