Jean-Claude Van Damme & Kris Van Damme

Jean-Claude Van Damme is one of the most prominent action stars during the 1990s. He earned worldwide fame for his performance in Bloodsport in 1988. The film, to this date, has a wide cult following and is still held to such a degree of esteem by action film enthusiasts. From then on, he would star in a string of lucrative movie blockbusters such as Time Cop, Double Impact, Hard Target, The Quest, and Maximum Risk, among many others. Apart from all the action films that he has done, he has also several dramatic roles which include JCVD, where he plays a semi-fictional version of himself and is set in his home country Belgium.

Today, his son, Kris Van Damme, or Kristopher Van Varenberg, is 33 years of age. At that age, Jean-Claude was at the height of his career starring in Hard Target. Kris is trying to follow in his footsteps. He has starred in several action films alongside his father such as Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning and Assassination Games.
