Did cardio next to him about a month ago and he didn't look that bad. Older and thinner sure. JNN I guess I should have slipped him your screen name?
-
Considering his age and the amount of narcotics I suspect he's consumed, JCVD looks good!
-

Yes, but it's always sad to see the greats fade away

:-\ I'm sorry to hear this. I hear he's a ladies man, so I recommend dressing up in drag the next time you send him pics.

his acting has improved , with this look he's less concerned with his image and more on his substance..............
-

Well, his use of recreational drugs surely did their part as well, but old age rarely improve your features.

I never read anything about him being on drugs. What was the drug of choice? Coke I take it? or a concoction of a few?

QFT

Jean-Claude Van Damme speaks of teenage depression that worked itself out in physical endeavors: karate, ballet and "rosy dreams." Early in his life and career, said Van Damme, he was " ... compensating for [then undiagnosed] manic-depressive disease with training. When I didn't train for a couple of days, I felt so low and nothing could make me happy."
The Belgian-born actor, who achieved stardom in 1988 with the film Bloodsport, was married four times between 1984 and 1994. He says he started using cocaine in 1993, during the filming of Sudden Death. At that time Jean-Claude Van Damme was married to his third wife, Gladys Portugues, but had begun an affair with Darcy LaPier, who would become his fourth wife in 1994. His career began to suffer, as three movies in a row were box office flops.
In late 1996 he checked into a month-long rehab program, but left it after only a week. Then in mid-1997, after the filming of Knockoff was finished, Van Damme came near to suicide - but instead reached a turning point.
Not long after that, he was formally dosed with rapid cycling bipolar disorder and placed on sodium valproate, which he calls "that simple salt." E! Online quoted him as saying, "You just have to take a little salt, and since I'm doing that it's, like, BOOM! In one week, I felt it kick in. All the commotion around me, all the water around me, moving left and right around me, became like a lake."
In late 1997 LaPier filed divorce papers charging him with drug addiction and spousal abuse. A settlement was eventually reached. In the meantime, a mellower Jean-Claude Van Damme returned to his third wife, whom he remarried in 1999.
About the turning point in his life, when he faced his cocaine addiction and quit cold turkey, he said, "It became a point where I wanted to die. I didn't have any reasons to live. Maybe it's selfish to say that, but I was not excited about anything. Then you have to find back your self-esteem. And then, slowly, every piece of yourself becomes precious again. One day it's, like, either you pass or you don't. It's not the drugs, it's a problem with yourself, which you have to cure."

Yes, but it's always sad to see the greats fade away
what is sadder is people like you who will never be great but will fade away too.
-
We all fade away, great or not.
It's unavoidable.

His wife Gladys on the left was a bodybuilder once, chick on right is their daughter probably.

You have no clue what I've done and who I am. ::) This attempt at a personal attack shows your insecure about something. What's wrong Uberturd?

Cocaine and Alcohol... It was on an E! True Hollywood Story ,with his ex wife... Had he not lived such a hard life (drugs)he would have looked so much better... I don't understand ,why people just can't say ,no thank's... Anyone.......that tries drugs,has a chance of becoming addicted!

emotional insecurity and troubled past, unhealthy relationships with parents-esp mothers- make you more prone to succomb to drug addictions.
-
there seems to be alot of "sorrow" of how JCVD "ended up"
not for nothing and all hero worship aside, there is something very romantic about the way he has evolved
kinda like that older guy who sleeps up at the boxing gym that used to be the number 1 contender

Ya, I never knew he had a lot of personal issues of such. Crazy how it seems every successful celeb has done their share of stints in rehab and almost killed themselves or were suicidal, etc. Fame is certainly a double edged sword

this is pretty cool ;D. From JCVD's best movie ever -- Lionheart

If you don't try it ,how can one succomb to it? If you are an occasional tooter,drinker,then I can understand what you're saying..
