The Belgian actor submitted the request to Chamber President Eliane Tillieux (PS). Anyone who wants to film in the federal parliament must ask for permission. Currently, the application has not been approved, but the chance that Jean-Claude Van Damme gets permission is not nonexistent. The application shows that the recordings were mainly outside parliament place and that’s usually not a problem.
In ‘JC1er, a French series consists of six episodes, Jean-Claude Van Damme plays himself actually. Only at that moment the career of JCVD is not going so well. And our country itself has seen better days. Belgium is facing a political crisis and has been without a government for 500 days. Much to King Philip’s dismay. The latter is due to discuss with Prime Minister and Martine George, the leader of the Flemish nationalists. When conversations turn out a damp squib, the king asks Van Damme to become prime minister of our country.
‘JC1er’ will be shown on the pay channel Canal+.
