Jean-Claude Van Damme takes this award today given to the most absurd or ballsy comment made by a celebrity. You can judge for yourself which category this quote falls under after you read it.
While promoting The Expendables 2, the actor confirmed as true to The Guardian the long-time rumor of him cheating on then-wife Darcy LaPier with singer Kylie Minogue during the 1994 filming of Street Fighter. But it’s the way he explained the affair that made me chuckle and ask, “What you say Van Damme?!”
“Yes, yes, yes. It happened. I was in Thailand, we had an affair. Sweet kiss, beautiful lovemaking. It would be abnormal not to have had an affair, she’s so beautiful and she was there in front of me every day with a beautiful smile, simpatico, so charming, she wasn’t acting like a big star. I knew Thailand very well, so I showed her my Thailand. She’s a great lady.”
Okie dokie. Abnormal not to have an affair? I am sure Van Damme’s current wife Gladys Portugues (married since 1999 and pictured here) was tickled pink to hear that it’s abnormal for Jean-Claude NOT to have an affair with sweet beautiful women.
