Although, do not be mistaken, as this is not the actor’s first time working behind the camera! Jean-Claude’s directional debut was the film The Quest, a martial arts movie.

Unknown to some, the renowned actor began martial arts at the age of ten. His father enrolled him in a karate school, and he earned a black belt degree when he was 18. To improve his physical appearance, Jean-Claude started lifting weights and gained the Mr. Belgium bodybuilding title. You will be surprised to know that he studied ballet for five years and considers it one of the most challenging sports to survive. With his extensive talent and flair, it’s no wonder that JCVD is still in demand up until this date.
