Van Damme
JCVD
Action Superstar
Jean-Claude Van Damme (aka “the Muscles from Brussels”) perfectly combined his martial arts (Shotokan Karate), Bodybuilding and Ballet backgrounds into something unique, which was ahead of its time and perfectly suited for the big screen. Along with that, the man’s drive and natural charisma helped him achieve his dream of becoming a Hollywood Movie Star.
His breakout role in Bloodsport won fans over across the world and inspired many of them to take up martial arts themselves. After the success of Bloodsport, he would go on to play in other iconic martial arts films such as Kickboxer, and then Lionheart, which really showed more of the dramatic side he could play as an actor. That film led to much bigger things, which would eventually land him a multi-picture deal with a major Hollywood studio, Universal Pictures. There he would go on to make the biggest films of his career (Hard Target, Timecop, Street Fighter).
