Before They Were Stars: Jean-Claude Van Damme Dances in “Breakin'”

To celebrate Jean-Claude Van Damme’s birthday today, here’s a “Before They Were Stars” clip that I’ve been wanting to post for a LONG time. After coming over to Hollywood from Belgium, JCVD started out by getting work as an extra in a couple of films, include the 1984 breakdancing classic, Breakin’. You can see JCVD dressed in a black spandex singlet in the background of this scene, doing an hilarious dance and completely hamming it up for the camera in this scene. In case you don’t notice him the first time around, here’s a helpful clip that features a constant loop of him dancing.
