Slideshow tribute to Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg (French: [ʒɑ̃ klod kamij fʁɑ̃swa vɑ̃ vaʁɑ̃bɛʁɡ]; Dutch: [vɑn ˈvarə(n)ˈbɛrx]; born 18 October 1960), known professionally as Jean-Claude Van Damme (French: [vɑ̃ dam]; Dutch: [vɑn ˈdɑmə]), is a Belgian martial artist, actor, filmmaker, and fight choreographer. Born and raised in Brussels, Belgium, at the age of ten his father enrolled him in martial arts classes, which led Van Damme to compete in several karate and kickboxing competitions. With the desire of becoming an actor, he moved to the United States in 1982, where he did odd jobs and worked on several films, until he got his break as the lead in the martial arts film Bloodsport (1988).

Van Damme became a popular action film star and followed up with box-office successes such as Cyborg (1989), Kickboxer (1989), Lionheart (1990), Death Warrant (1990), Double Impact (1991), Universal Soldier (1992), Nowhere to Run (1993), Hard Target (1993), Timecop (1994), and Street Fighter (1994).

Afterwards, Van Damme films declined at the box office and by the early 2000s his films either had limited theatrical runs or direct to video. Within these productions, it was noted that he kept a good physique, as well as improving and enjoying the art of acting.[1] This led Van Damme to return to prominence with the critically acclaimed crime drama JCVD (2008).

From thereon Van Damme continued starring in action films, and playing supporting roles in The Expendables 2 (2012), the Kung Fu Panda franchise (2011–2016), the Kickboxer reboot (2016), Minions: The Rise of Gru (2019), and more.
