This smart boy is Jean-Claude Van Damme. 😎 As a child, Van Damme was a fragile boy, often bruised, and his classmates never missed a chance to show off his strength 💪👦.
For five years, he practiced classical ballet. Once he was even invited to dance at the Paris Opera 💃🎭. In addition, since childhood, Jean preferred classical music, and his favorite composer was Ludwig van Beethoven 🎶🎹.
Jean-Claude started practicing karate at the request of his father, as he was born weak and suffered from health problems for a long time. This idea proved to be a lifesaver: at the age of 10, the future actor got his first knowledge in Shotokan and kickboxing 🥋⚡
He liked it, and began to train seriously, while continuing to study ballet. Over time, Jean-Claude became interested in martial arts and was distinguished by excellent physical form.
As a karate champion in Belgium 🏅🥇, he quickly claimed future success in movies.Ballet played a key role in his flexibility and coordination, influencing his choreographed, elegant and sophisticated fight scenes 🎬🤸♂️
Jean-Claude was also a big fan of classical music, especially Beethoven 🎶🎥, which influenced the creation of his roles. Characters in his films, often weak at the beginning, turn into strong and confident characters 💥🌟.
