Jean-Claude Van Damme Hits On Reporter Mid-Interview

Jean-Claude Van Damme did a Q&A with Newsweek's Sarah Ball, and at the end of the interview he stops answering questions about his new film "JCVD" and starts hitting on her instead. Van Damme, 48 and 5'9, is currently married to his fifth wife.

Newsweek reporter is in bold.

I really opened myself up in "JCVD." I peeled back the skin of the fruit, cut the pulp and then took that very hard seed. In this film I cut that hard seed, and inside that seed was a kind of liquid cream substance of the man I am, or the woman you are.

OK --
It was like being naked--I would love to be naked in front of you.

Well, I --
Not being naked being naked. I say such things in Hong Kong and they thought I was being a crazy Frenchman. Being naked of protection.

So you ' ve no regrets at all?
Believe me--I've done very good stuff and very crazy stuff, and I don't regret the crazy stuff. So are you in New York?

Yes, I am.
And are you 27, or 32?

I ' m 22.
Oh, f---. That is very young. Will you come to the premiere?

I don ' t know. When is it?
I don't know. You will wear all black, a black dress and high heels?

Uh --
You can come find me, I will be the one with the very broad shoulders, dark hair and a simple suit. We can have some champagne, you and me.

He definitely looks like the result of HIV meds, but there's no info I can find that says that he's definately HIV positive.

[afgail]

Yuck!!!!

'Allo, I am a coked out Pepe LePew.

[bjammin]

Aw, c'mon folks - he's always been this way, and quite frankly, his life's been a bit of a mess of late. The JCVD film is apparently quite brave in its story about him, so lets cut the old man some slack.

[ibsteve2u]

Awww, take it easy on JCVD. The guy took a lot of hits to the head...

[lunchlady]

Ewww..... Why does he look so cadaverous? As these celebs age they sometimes get desperate to keep feeling like they can get all the girls they used to at the peak of their popularity. I know someone who claims to have gotten hit on by Burt Reynolds, who was not only old and skeezy looking but also smelled funny.

[method]

What a creep. No wonder he is on wife No. 5...soon to be No. 6 if No. 5 is smart. He should have kept on his shades.

[Saoirsi]

Oh for God sakes, he's a B-Movie actor who just enjoys chancing his arm for the hell of it. It's not like he's submitting articles for Huffington Post.

[dimelaverdad]

ewww. That makes me uneasy.

[ctekin]

He don't look so good.

[harriettubman]

That guy is only 48?!!!!!!!!!! What a rough life he's led. He looks like he's about 25 yrs older.

[jalowe1957]

Any man who's on his fifth try on the marriage-go-round and hitting on a reporter obviously has issues that necessitate a trip to the psychotherapist.

Now doesn't all this cry out for some sort of psychological explanation?

[harriettubman]

YES!!!

[Arawak]

You must be 18 to look at this clip. Jean Claude like the ladies. ALL ladies.

No it doesn't. He's a warm-blooded male having a blast being outrageous.

[lunchlady]

Doesn't look very warm-blooded to me. He looks rather reptilian.

[BonzaiBoy]

Good thing Prop 8 protected marriages like his.

[repugnicansfearme]

Pepe LePew.

[yannb]

He is BELGIAN from Belgium. Not French. Never was, never will be. Oh by the way, he's been an American citizen now for a long time. I guess he picked up the local habits.

[harriettubman]

He was a serial marriage person before becoming an American.

[Bitsko]

Does Penelope Pussycat know about this?

[the964kid]

Ha ha, thats just too much Van Damme!

BUT seriously would we want him to act any other way? He's so good at being a sleazy Belgian.

[Saoirsi]

(NB: That's a Belgian from Belgium, not France.) Yes, he is Van Damme perfect just the cheeseball way he is.

[redsongia]

Those pick-up lines are so "belge," i.e., french for not cool.
