Jean-Claude Van Damme had an affair with Kylie Minogue while the two filmed Street Fighter back in 1994. The action star made the admission while doing promotional work for the upcoming Expendables 2, and while he was at first apprehensive to talk on the subject, he wound up giving far more details than one would have expected.
Speaking to The Guardian, JCVD told the outlet his memory was too poor to get into specifics, and then, of course, he got into plenty of specifics.
”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.”
It’s unclear whether Minogue would remember this supposed hook-up with such words as “sweet” and “beautiful”, but even if she does, I highly doubt she would ever tell anyone he showed her his Thailand. That’s all sorts of creepy and hilarious, not necessarily in that order.
JCVD is hoping Expendables 2 will land him some bigger roles in the near future. If early buzz is any indication, the film may. For his wife’s sake, however, I hope filming on any of those future movies doesn’t in any way resemble Street Fighter.
