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.

What's- wrong- with- hitting- on- a- 22- year- old-piece- of- tail? God bless him.

[2grainsofsalt]

You didn't know how to hyphenate "22-year-old", so you put hyphens after every word. Sad.

I hope that every Belgian feels embarrassed that their country produced this no-talent dweeb. Of course, they more famously produced Audrey Hepburn, so they have no reason to feel terribly embarrassed.

They should team him up with Joe Namath for a new sitcom about two aging manwhores.

For a title? Maybe: I Hardly Even Know Her!

Narcissists like Van Damme are dangerous. They break promises and hearts and prey on young women and star-struck females.

Hope his movies continue to bomb.

Some day Sarah you'll look back on this and laugh. Until then, head to the nearest pub and order up a shot of ablution.

He and Chuck Norris would make a great pair. It's a shame that Chuck is so against homosexual unions.The­y are so full of themselves they might as well be for real.

[Axekick]

LOL, that's funny and I could not agree more. Further more I believe they each stand about 5'-5" tall... which I suspect is why they feel a need to outwardly project a masculine/macho image. It isn't working for either of them.

hilarious! these guys that end up believeing their own publicity are just doomed. but they usually never know it. we just laugh and laugh. why don't they all just age gracefully and keep their sense of real self like sean connery

[BannedInBoston]

Real self? What is that?

[SlinkyTWF]

The kind of real self (speaking of Mr. Connery) who thinks it's okay to slap women if they, "need it," I presume.

[missnina]

hilarious.­..JCVD doesnt realize that even during his 15 seconds of fame, the only ones that ever thought he was hot were all men....

[Moxo]

I'd love to see the facesof both JCVD and Chuck Norris if you offered them a chance to reprise the Oliver Reed/Alan Bates wrestling scene in a remake of Ken Russell's "Women in Love".

[icemilkcoffee]

How did a 22 year old reporter make it into Newsweek?

[BannedInBoston]

Looked older, like Van Damme thought?

[cobobs]

Catches the eye of older, powerful man-mentors, like JCVD?

[banjokev]

that's the funniest thing I've read today

"we can have some champagne, you and me."

oh man ... priceless

[BannedInBoston]

Especially considering that VD seems to feel that he has to describe what he'll look like in order for her to spot him!

[BannedInBoston]

Especially considering that V.D. seems to feel that he has to describe what he'll look like in order for her to spot him!

[Patriot68]

lol you folks need to lighten up. He's just an old dog looking for some new tricks. =)

[woundedduck]

He's MELTING...­melting...­what a world...wh­at a world...

[ryanp105]

What? No video????

Mr. Van Damme,

You do realize that "Just For Men" actually makes colors that are found in nature.

Just tryin' to help.
