Vroege leven

His father put him in Shotokan karate school at 10 jaar oud, and he learned kickboxing. He also studied ballet for 5 years as a teenager, and he credits this to giving him a unique advantage of balance and endurance. Weight training was also something he did to get his body stronger, and he was so talented that he won the Mr. Belgium bodybuilding title. At 18, he already earned a black belt in karate and also worked on Taekwondo and other martial arts like Muay Thai.

Start in films
Zijn start in de films....
Chuck Norris was een D-tarief actie-acteur uit die tijd die bevriend met Van Damme en laat hem stuiteren in zijn bar genaamd Woody's Wharf. Van Damme heeft enkele kleine rollen in een aantal Norris's films als een stuntman of een extra.
Zijn eerste grote filmrol kwam in 1986 toen hij werd gecast als een Russische slechte kerel die een jonge Amerikaan intimideren. De film was universeel laten draaien omdat het vrij veel het script van gekopieerd "The Karate Kid," die werd uitgebracht 2 jaar voorafgaande. Tijdens het filmen van de film, Van Damme was te agressief met de stuntmen en de actoren tijdens het gevecht scènes, verlaten sommige ernstig gewond.
In 1988, Hij zou uitbreken met een rol als ons leger kapitein die vecht voor zijn mentor in een illegale Hong Kong martial arts toernooi. Het cheesy en voorspelbaar script was een grote hit, omdat Van Damme was zowel goed kijken voor de dames en spannend voor de mannen. De film zou verdienen $70 miljoen vs. een $2 miljoen begroting en het maken Van Damme een gewilde na actie sterren.
Daarna, Van Damme was offered multiple movies to star in but chose Cyborg, which was universally panned due to poor acting and plot. The movie was extremely low budget but still made about $10 miljoen. Another movie he played in that did well was Kickboxer in 1989. It made $65 million worldwide on a $3 million budget. One critic called the movie "The dumbest action picture of the year," and other critics lambasted Van Damme as a 'low budget Arnold Schwarzenegger wannabee' who simply cannot act.

De volgende voor hem was "Doodvonnis," een film over een undercover agent die krijgt gevangen naast een seriemoordenaar gezet. Een andere was "Lionheart," dat was een grote hit onder zijn fans. Beide films een flinke winst maakte op een klein budget.
Dolph Lundgren en Van Damme zou samen in een film genaamd "Universal Soldier” over eerder dode soldaten die zijn teruggezet en op een missie gestuurd. Tijdens de films openen in Cannes, beide acteurs zouden krijgen in een verbale woordenwisseling, which escalated the excitement for the movie.
Van Damme would tell Arsenio Hall in an interview that the fight was made up to drive up interest in the film:
Action fans would love the movie, and it ended up breaking the $100 million barrier, making it officially a blockbuster. In 1994, he starred as a time-traveling cop trying to save his wife in the movie "Timecop", which topped $100 million and was his highest grossing film.

His luck would run out when he starred with NBA player Dennis Rodman fighting crime in the movie "Double Team". The movie bombed at the box office, losing over 20M$ and also won 3 Golden Raspberry Awards (given to honor the WORST movies of the year).
He would make dozens of movies during his career, with not a single one getting good critical reviews. You can see his entire movie history here: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/jeanclaude_van_damme/
Erfenis
Say what you want about Van Damme's acting, but he had a real talent for martial arts, and he had a ripped physique. Watch this video to see him in his movies.
The original video game "Mortal Kombat" was created based on Van Damme's fighting style and appearance. The German "Donkey Kong" video game has a hero named Jean-Claude Van Kong.
Leven en Drugs
Drug use and personal life....
Van Damme admits that during the 90's, he was so stressed by working so hard on movies that he was spending $10,000 per week on cocaine, and on some days it was 10 grams per day of use. He tried rehabilitation, but it did not work for him, so he tried to quit cold turkey. It was later revealed that he was extremely bipolar and had crazy mood swings from morning to afternoon. He takes medication for the condition.

Steroïden
Van Damme was only 18 when he was crowned Mr. Belgium, and it was likely he was using steroids from a young age and throughout his adulthood, to maintain his amazing physique and recovery. We can speculate his steroid stack would have looked like this ahead of an action movie during his peak years in the 90's:
