Van Damme on Big Brother?

[FilmBuff84]

According to IMDB

Action star Jean-Claude Van Damme's career appears to have taken a huge slump - he's now considering an offer to appear on France's equivalent of reality TV show Big Brother. The 'Muscles from Brussels', who hasn't had a big movie hit in the last decade, is said to be on the verge of accepting network TF1's offer. He'd join six men and six women in their 20s, who have already been dwelling in a French Riviera villa for several weeks. TF1 spices up the show, called Nice People, by having minor French celebrities live with the candidates - mostly models - for a week. If Van Damme accepts the offer, and the $50,000 that comes with it, he'll be one of the biggest stars ever to have appeared on the show. A source tells American tabloid the Star, "I don't know why Van Damme would do it. Except for the fact that the six women are pretty hot and will target him for, ahem, companionship."

Oh Van Damme....

Van Damme him to hell if he does this. I didn't think he could sink any lower, but then BAM! here comes this news.

[El Bracamonti]

is he still alive?.......hmm...........i never noticed :D

[James Logan]

Every fuckin' celebrity with a career slump in France is on that crappy show. French boxing champion Brahim Asloum was on it for a week, game show hosts were on it, washed-up singers from the 80s, aging models...

...just one more proof that JCVD is something of the past.

Oooooh who thinks they should make a movie teaming Van Damme, Steven Seagal and that "Perfect Weapon" guy Jeff Speakman (sp)? It could be something about a cop who plays by his own rules (Van Damme) who has to team up with a perp he busted years ago (Speakman) to foil the plot of an evil, aging, suddenly obese villain (Seagal). Of course Speakmans character will die after he and Van Damme become friends and "partners" of sorts. This will lead to a death scene in which Speakman will tell Van Damme, with his last words, that he wished he could have gone straight and he's sorry for the trouble he's caused. An enraged Van Damme will then fight Seagals character in a climactic, slow moving, badly coreographed fight scene. At some point Seagal will be hanging on for dear life over the ledge of a tall building, thats when Van Damme will say some witty quip "You have a first class ticket...TO HELL!!!" and drops Seagal to his death. Cue up the freeze frame shot of our victorious hero while a cheesy song from a band we've never heard of plays during the credits (Sample lyrics: "We will stand up and fight...for our honor tonight...TOGETHER"!) The film should be called Deathblow or something along those lines. Someone PLEASE write this script...it must be made!! :p

Which means Jennifer Lopez will be appearing on it in the near future. Her time is just about up...

I'm not sure the world needs any more Van Damme flicks...and I'm saying this as someone who actually enjoys them.

As long as he doesn't do a TV ad for lunch meat or something, he's all right in my book.

Hey, no no this is the perfect opportunity for Van Damme to
make a movie that might be theater-bound.

Step 1: Throw him in a room filled with people.

Step 2: Take away his coke supply.

and TA-DAA... Bloodsport 4 !!!

[Tom Samborski]

Man, that is desperate! Jean Claude must be out of cash at the moment!

Well, that's exactly the question that got TF1 (the TV channel) to get Van Damme on the show. No one watches their crappy show, so they invite celebs to make people care. Only problem is, the only celebs who want to be on the show are washed-up has-beens like JCVD. And thus, everyone keeps not caring. :)

So sad, so sad...

That news almost makes me want a Street Fighter 2, just so he won't have to stoop any lower than he already has. He would at least have some money then.

[Dead Halloween]

It is true about the street fighter sequel?

[BorderEevilIII]

Only if Jean Claude stepped out of his norm of making movies.....:rolleyes: Anyway, I used to like him back in Timecop, Bloodsport time frame then......Jean Claude will be walking around in skimpy outfits and if women accidently bump into him he'll accidently flex and didnt realize he did it.

Well, our own (by that I mean here, at joblo.com) Mike Sampson reported it, and the man's reliable, so I'd say yeah, it's true.

But the first one one was crap and the game is not that popular anymore, why a sequel?
