Actor Scott AdkinsI was a huge fan when I was a kid. You’d have been hard-pressed to find a bigger Van Damme fan than me when I was 12 to 18. I was obsessed with the guy and obviously he inspired me when I was that age. So now that I’m a man and I’m making movies, I imagine that a lot of what’s made him famous has sort of seeped into my way of doing things. There are similarities there. But I wouldn’t say the imitation is purposeful. I’m not consciously going out to try to remake Van Damme films or anything like that.

The ultra-violent movie follows the exploits of American soldier-turned martial-artist Frank Dux, and over the decades it has become a cult favorite. It has also picked up at least one powerful super-fan: President Donald Trump.Sourse: www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-favorite-movie-bloodsport-turns-30-today-821249 Supreme Leader of North Korea Kim Jong-Un: Kim Jong-Un swam, skied, and played plenty of basketball, and he was a fan of Michael Jordan and Jean-Claude Van Damme, according to students there.Sourse: www.thedailybeast.com/the-end-of-swiss-discretion?source=twitter&via=desktop

www.paramountchannel.it/news/cristiano-ronaldo-film-attori-preferiti/kha4sfThe Best player in the world is coming to Italy playing in Juventus for 100 million euro. Newspapers are talking about everything regarding CR7. According to this site his favourite film is "Universal Soldier"!!! The man is one of us! How cool is this news ? "According to who knows him well, his favorite film is Universal Soldier, a work directed in 1992 by Roland Emmerich starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, released in Italy under the title The new heroes and who also had three sequels." I found some old post about Cristiano Ronaldo and look who is listed as his favorite actor back in 2007:  |

Actor Mark Wahlberg
It’s been about 30 years since “Bloodsport.”
Mark Wahlberg wants to do “Bloodsport 2” ... I don’t know if he’s going to get it, but Mark Wahlberg, when he came from Boston, he came to my house. Knocks on my door. But I was not the guy who opened the door. It was my guy Pepe ― housekeeper, great guy. And he said, “Well, there’s a young man outside. He wants to make a documentary on you, is a big fan of you from ‘Bloodsport.’” And I said, “I don’t have time to make a documentary about ‘Bloodsport.’ It’s not such a good movie. It’s only karate and stuff,” so the guy left.
It was Mark Wahlberg. You can mention that because it’s the truth. He came on Saks Avenue. It was about 25, 30 years ago. He came to my house. He found my house. To show you how hungry he was, he found my house. He rang the bell. That’s why he’s very successful today, I guess.
A source close to Wahlberg told HuffPost that a sequel to “Bloodsport” was talked about 25 or 30 years ago, but added no further verification of Van Damme’s story.

De Nederlander kijkt erg op naar collega’s als Dwayne Johnson of Jean Claude Van Damme, die na hun sportieve verdiensten al heel lang succes hebben in Hollywood. Met The Muscles from Brussels appt en belt Verhoeven regelmatig. „Hij houdt zijn ogen en oren open voor projecten waarvoor ik geschikt kan zijn”, vertelt de kickbokser. „Echt heel tof. En hij drukt me op het hart om alleen maar in projecten te stappen waar ik écht achter sta.”
Een andere advies van Van Damme is om je te omringen met mensen die hetzelfde enthousiasme hebben voor een bepaald plan als jij. „Dat is iets dat ik zelf ook heb gemerkt in de vechtsport”, vertelt Verhoeven. „Je kan beter mensen om je heen hebben die je af en toe moet afremmen dan dat je mensen moet aansporen om een stapje harder te lopen omdat ze jouw enthousiasme niet bij kunnen benen.”Translation: Rico Verhoeven gets advice from the master: Jean Claude Van Damme! Muscles from Brussels The Dutchman look up to colleagues like Dwayne Johnson or Jean Claude Van Damme, who have enjoyed success in Hollywood for a long time after their sporting achievements. The Muscles from Brussels texts Verhoeven regularly. "He keeps his eyes and ears open for projects that I can be suitable for," says the kickboxer. "Really cool. And he advised me to only do projects that I really support." Another advice from Van Damme is to surround yourself with people who have the same enthusiasm for a certain project as you. "That is something that I also noticed in martial arts," says Verhoeven. "You better have people around you that you have to stop at times than you have to encourage people to walk a bit harder because they can not keep up with your enthusiasm."
