Look, Being Jean Claude Van Damme looks like a pretty good film: sort of like a Charlie Kaufman meets John Woo kind of deal.
And everyone loves an actor who has the sense of humor to play an old, washed-up version of themselves (looking at you, Bruce Campbell!)
But there seems a little something, um, offputting about Jean Claude in this recent interview with Newsweek about the film. Either it's some very good viral marketing for his character as a confused old guy, or the language barrier is still a major problem(?) for Van Damme.
Or the dude is nuts. See below for the best interview answer ever.
Newsweek: There's a monologue in the film about being a washed-up action star. Did you improvise that?
Jean Claude Van Damme: I like structure–like driving: go past the school on the street, stay on the right side, no hitting the car, go in right, you'll see a big church, stop and take a left, and you'll have it. By doing this I'm giving a structure of life, a path of light, and showing what happens between me and me, which is something very beautiful.
What? Is that the monologue? Did he just "improv" that whole answer? Did he forget to take his Risperdal that morning? Jean Claude Van Damme is my new hero.
