What’s this? Oh, just Jean-Claude Van Damme helping Georges St. Pierre stretch out his groin muscles. What? Don’t look at me like that, that’s just what bros do, we help each other. What else do bros do? Well, according to Jean-Claude Van Damme, bros make epic video tributes to their bros, like the one you see below, editing together clips from their movies with clips from their bros’ MMA training. At least, that’s what JCVD did for his bro GSP. The groin stretching clips are set to epic opera choir music and overlaid with motivational quotes, by the way, as you do. Van Damme apparently produced this video and released it on the internet… just because.  In the dedication at the end of the video, Van Damme says:

“Hi Georges. The memories of our friendship, of a great country and a great city, Montreal, and a great team of people surrounding us, made of love, sports, health, and like I said … friendship.”

And then he punctuates the sentence fragment with a high kick, and shot freeze frames, goes to black and white, and fades out like an eighties TV show. This… this is real. Stunning.

This supercut of Jean-Claude Van Damme doing the splits is exactly what it sounds like (Van Damme doing the splits… a lot), and it feels like I’ve been waiting my entire life for this moment. By the way, “because of my big legs and karate” is my excuse for everything. |EGOTV|

In 1987, Jean Claude Van Damme married Gladys Portugues, his third wife. They divorced in 1992, and he remarried in 1994, but he divorced the fourth wife in 1997 and got back with Portugues in 1999, making her both his third and fifth wife. It sounds nuts, but he’s been with her ever since, and a 13-year marriage to the mother of two of your children is remarkably stable by action-star standards. Of course, no one wants to talk about that, only about the time he banged Kylie Minogue while they were shooting Street Fighter in 1994. AW YEAH JCVD GETTIN SOME STRANGE LEMME SMELL YA FINGERS DAWG.

For 1994′s abysmal videogame adaptation Street Fighter, he was paid $7m. The film was critically pounded, but it did good business – and he got to have a fling with co-star Kylie Minogue.

Speaking of pounding! HIYO! (You can tell that’s what they meant, but The Guardian is all subtle and classy).

We were all a little worried about Monsieur Jean Claude Van Damme a couple years back when we thought he’d had a heart attack (apparently he hadn’t – just chest pain), but in case you needed further proof that he’s still healthy enough to do Van Damme stuff, here’s video of him throwing high kicks at the pads with UFC welterweight champ George St. Pierre at Firas Zahabi’s Tristar Gym in Montreal. JCVD proves he can still hit the high pads, and from the looks of it, can still do the splits like he used to do all the time for no reason. (“Oh no, an unexpected lava flow! Hopefully I can escape it on these two oddly-placed chairs!”)

Seeing this, I’ll take Van Damme over Seagal in any fight where the prize isn’t food. I guess Van Damme was there promoting Expendables 2, which opens August 17th, or maybe he was just getting in a good work out (the video came from GSP’s twitter account, so we’re not exactly sure). But either way, I like to imagine that he and St. Pierre celebrated afterwards by going out for frog and berets and shopping for tight, striped shirts and kissing strange women on the hand and painting white stripes on the backs of cats or whatever else two French speakers do when they’re out raising hell. Fun fact: Belgians eat their frog with waffles! (French Canadians eat them with gravy and maple syrup).

Also in Van Damme news, he says he wants to play a trainer in a Bloodsport remake.
