This is the single funniest thing I’ve seen all day. So here’s the story. Apparently there is a bopic in the works for Jean Claude Van Damme. Yes, a movie about the life of Jean Claude (personally I think that could actually be pretty interesting). Anyway, here’s the kicker… the lead role in the film… the man who will be playing Jean Claude is…. Jean Claude Van Damme. Yes, Jean Claude will be playing Jean Claude (If I understand all this right).
Anyway, the movie is going to be called “J.C.V.D.” I love the title. So a few people have emailed me this morning with this video that isn’t actually a “trailer” for the film, but rather a little promotional skit made for the film. I’ve got to tell you, I laughed myself sick.
My favorite part: “no no no… you snap because you’re a nut job” You’ll see what I mean. Check it out:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! thats sooo funneh! really, fun stuff.
Its funny I posted a similar entry on my blog about JCVD and his movies. I quite like the “Teaser”, the actual trailer is available on the web somewhere though, I caught a glimpse of it and found it rather assuming. Who knows maybe this will be his big come back or at least a movie that won’t go straight to video. Cheers!
I wish I spoke French.
J.C.V.D – Wow. Imaginative. Next!
i give him props. a lot of actors can’t play themselves. he looks pretty good here.
Hey, it can’t be any more ridiculous than his part in “Breakin'” can it? :-)

Pretty curious.
I give him some credit. Is this movie his idea? I like the acting of the casting director.
No, I don’t think it is serious either but a semi-autobio pic with JC’s early years before he took his stage name might be of slight interest.
However, if you really had to ask me, I’d much rather pay cash to see a bio pic on Chuck Norris.
Brillant! Man this guy should really try doing comedies or other kind of movie i think he’s got a shot.
Hmmmm…. to REALLY understand the idea behind the film, you’ve got to understand the current popularity of Van damme in France the last few years… it has actually very little to do with his films or acting, but has a lot to do with a string of interviews he’s done for french television over the years while promoting his various films.
JCVD is actuallly a french speaking belgian (by that I mean that he speaks a funny kind of french to the French’s ears – I know, I’m belgian too)and add to that the fact that he has lived in America for the last 25 years, so the guy gives a lot of interviews where he is obviously struggling with his french, intersped with funny americanisms, and also discussing some very strange topics, probably fuelled by his then daily drug intake… it’s hard to describe, but the French have this habit of rooting for these kinds of underdogs, so the guy gets to be hugely popular based on these weird interviews where he goes on a tangent about beig “AWARE” (aouaire, as the french would say) and all sorts of pseudo-mystic mumbo-jumbo.
The results of this is that the guy is now regularly seen in adverts playing this kind of parody of himself, because obviously he’s none too smart, but smart enough to sense he has caught the attention of the media over there and that he can easily cash on it.
So the movie has got to be seen in this context; I don’t knowthe datails of the scenario, but my guess is they are going to use this Van Damme persona as a comic tool, playing with it, and having JC playing is own role is really the cherry on the cake. I don’t think it is meant to be a serious attempt at a Van Damme biopic, but more as a film with Van Damme playing his own foolsih self.
HAHAHA! I really want to hear a discussion about this on the Roundtable!
funny idea, but I got bored just watching this small bit and turned it off. Not exactly a good sign.
Smart.
I can’t believe this… Well, that’s something I’m not going to be watching, so no matter.
lol….awesome :)
i was hoping he was going to kick all of their asses at the end.
it looks funny. i feel bad for you guys, the translation must have been done in five minutes…
