I've had the pleasure of
knowing Jean-Claude Van
Damme for well over a
quarter of a century, I've
interviewed
him
innumerable times in
various countries and on
various film-sets, and had
the pleasure of getting to
know him very well over
the years. In fact as I
write this I am just
finishing up coproducing
his
latest pr oject,
the
action
thriller
Pound of

Flesh, dir ected by Er nie
Barbarash which we've
been shooting for the last
two months in China. Now
over the years JC has had
plenty of media coverage
and graced the cover of
many a magazine, but
there's still a side to him
that very few people know
about. And thanks to our
esteemed publisher and editor
in chief Don Warrener, this
month I get a chance to
tell you about a
very different
Jean-Claude
Van Damme.
