We met him at Volvo Ocean Race stopover in Alicante where he drove the Special Edition Volvo FH truck.
Mikael, what was your role in the hugely successful film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme? I was the guy driving one of the trucks who edged away from the second truck so that Van Damme could perform his famous split with his feet on each of our side mirrors. I kept my eye on the outer dotted line of the road while reversing because that was the maximum possible distance between the trucks that would keep Van Damme safe.
We rehearsed for eight days without Van Damme on the mirrors. We only needed one single take with him early that morning as the sun was rising. It was perfect! I still get goosebumps when I think about it.
