Jean-Claude Van Damme Reportedly Suffers Heart Attack on Set

[toys2cool]

I just think it's funny how as soon as someone who's ripped or big has a heart attack everyone automatically assumes it's ROIDS

That's like saying every fat guy that has a heart attack is because of Fast food

[MIB41]

EXACTLY. Here's a person who's had a heart attack. But because he appeared to be in descent shape and had a name in Hollywood at one time, he's immediately blamed for the heart attack because of some mythical Hollywood lifestyle involving 'roids. God forbid it just be an underlying condition that happen to come to light in his later years? How boring would that be if these forum drama-bots didn't have anything to talk about? Now THAT'S tragic...

I can attest that a heart attack can come out of nowhere. I had mine a few years ago at 38 years old. There is a family history that I was not aware of. Had I known I would have been more proactive earlier on. I was in pretty good health before that, not really overweight, I was active, and then bam it hit me like a ton of bricks. Heart disease is serious and can get anyone. Take my advise, get checked out and stay on top of it before it gets you! Oh and BTW, I never did steroids...LOL

No, no, no. Not just fast food. It's plain old DRENCHED IN SYRUP, OOZING WITH BUTTER, BATHED IN WHIP CREAM regular food.

Who knows if he took steroids are not. Just because he wasn't a big guy doesn't mean that he didn't take them. There are steroids to help with size as well as those that can help you get lean and cut as well as other legal drugs like HGH but still banned from the Olympics and even for high school athletes. Given his history with illegal substances and his profession where he would have to get in great shape fast for a movie or appearance it's not a long stretch to think he might have. It's also not a stretch to think that steroids or any other illegal drugs could have had a hand in his heart attack. Facts are facts and steroids can cause heart problems.
Remember when Arnold had his heart surgery a few years ago humors swirled about his problems being from admitted steroid use.
All I'm saying is that thinking that it's a possibility is not unrealistic. It's not unrealistic either that it could have happened for 100 other reasons too.

I always thought his ego would be the death of him....

maybe he just got that body from being a good dancer, just check out these moves




naw but seriously now, Obviously there is chance that it could be from some sort or Steroid if in fact the guy did abuse them, but like you said it could've been from 100 different things.. all i'm saying is that it sucks that it's the first thing that people assume when someone see's a ripped or huge guy

[Brazoo]

He's admitted to having drug problems - and it's mentioned in the movie "JCVD" which I thought was pretty awesome. Even better if you're not really a big fan, like me.

Time Cop is probably my favourite typical Jean Claud movie - but there are awesome moments in a few others.

On his ego: A friend of mine once figured out that he probably holds the record for acting in movies where he plays multiple versions of himself.

Oh brother... Do you think he's the only guy on this planet to be fit like that at his age? Ever heard of Jack Lalanne? The guy is 91 years old and has lived a very disciplined life about what he eats and exercises twice a day. Can YOU say that? From the looks of the burrito bars you've been advertising, I would say not. Here's a link about him and how he lives. It's very easy to just label somebody a cheater when they obtain something that you don't possess the skills and discipline to do yourself. Life's short dude. Quit hating on people so much.

Nice, get personal and start insulting me, since you are so perfect and all.

Burrito, eh?

Nice to get stereotypical as well, how 21st century of you.

...and relax, it's not like I'm insulting a family member of yours, take a chill pill.

You know, one thing is to take jabs on celebrities that we have never met...and another is to take jabs at people here..like you are.

Keep it up...

[Hector]

He's admitted to having drug problems

Exactly.

Why is this so hard to believe?

Long term consumption of drugs will eventually catch up to you...whether you are shaped like Arnold or Chris Farley.

[Meule]

Yeah, that's what 25 years of steroids, HGH, and God knows what else, will do to you in the long run...

Funny JCVD story; While I was working on "Leviathan", one of the guys at Stan Winston's told me that originally, JCVD was supposed to play the creature in the original "Predator" film. He was fired when he allegedly asked Stan Winston to "Cut a hole in the head of the monster so people can see my face..." I immediately thought that though funny, it was too far fetched to be real. HOWEVER, years later, I'm talking to Bill Paxton outside Starbucks and JCVD walks by us, into the shop... I said later to Pax and couldn't help myself, so I walked in, introduced myself to JCVD, bought him a latte and proceeded to ask him if that was a true story. Not only did he admit to saying that, he went on a tirade about how he was right and how Fox screwed him on that movie, etc... Apparently, when he was hired by Fox, they told him he'd be the "star" of the film. Obviously they meant the creature and he thought he was gonna play Arnold's role... To funny. Love that guy.

Ugh
He's already enough of an embarrasment to Belgium without stories like these.
I don't wish him dead tho, but if only he had a brain

Damian, is that first pic of JCVD dancing from Breakin'? The girl and dude look like the 2 from the movie. Interesting.
