Jean-Claude Van Damme says goodbye after eventful career: “Addictions thwart his enormous success” | showbiz

showbizOne last action film and then Jean-Claude Van Damme stops. The 61-year-old actor recently announced this. He creeps into ‘What’s My Name?’ in the skin of… himself. “After this I want to enjoy my family”, says the ‘Muscles from Brussels’, who once spent $10,000 a week on cocaine. “And of life, because it passes so quickly.” A dive into youth, the striking move to Hollywood and the glory days, but also the dark side and the withdrawal process of the Belgian film icon. “I was completely worked up at the time. I got blacklisted, and that was that.”
