Now Im not one to take tabloid articles/news seriously, but Ive never read such an emotional article on a newspaper website/in a newspaper, in my entire life.

Heck, my sentiments are reiterated in the line, This interview is like no other I have done.

Its about Jean Claude Van Dammes latest film JCVD, how its proving to be a huge hit, and how it relates to his life. The most noticeable aspect of the interview though is about his son.

A darn good read and a testament to how topsy turvy JCVDs life has been during the best part of the last 10/20 years or so.

Ive always been a fan of his and grew up watching his films so I may come across as a bit biased, but I would really recommend that you read this.

As a side note, this isnt here so you can express how much you think hes a horrendous actor. Id rather you read the article for what it is.

I dont normally like anything written in The Sun, but that is a good interview. Not as well written as it could have been, but very honestly written.

Im interested in the film, and in Jean-Claude himself. Never thought he was that good of an actor, but he does have some great titles under his belt.

His Episode in Las Vegas was also amazing.

Cheers for the link.

I used to love watching his movies on tv when I was litlle and his accent was really cool.That movies where he is brought back from the dead as some sort of super soldier is one of my favorites.Some parts were really funny such as when he had to cool down with ice. :)

Isnt it a surprising coincidence that he is mentioned on a Capcom site as he represented our mighty super Soldier Guiles in the Street Fighter movie? Just remembering Kylie as Cammy makes me want to go watch it... :P

Anyway I hope he gets better as I can only wish him all the best and maybe I will have to check this new movie out.

Universal Soldier? Yeah, I loved the first one. The other two were pretty shoddy though with one of them without JCVD altogether.

Theres another one planned for this year/next year with JCVD. Might have to see it.
