The actor was not ready for experiments.
Jean-Claude Van Damme could not avoid the fate of the vast majority of his colleagues. The popular actor has firmly entrenched one image that fans have long been accustomed to.
According to fans, the screen star is especially good in scenes of fights and epic battles – it was not for nothing that he was nicknamed Muscles from Brussels. However, many do not even realize that the martial artist had a chance to show himself from a completely different side.
It turned out that celebrities offered to light up in the film “Dorian Gray”, which premiered in 2009. The creators of the picture wanted to see the actor in the role of the senior comrade of the protagonist, Lord Henry. But the Hollywood star had his own opinion on this matter.
The artist refused and looked into the water – the audience would not have survived the appearance of such a Jean-Claude Van Damme on the screen. As a result, the character was embodied by Colin Firth and, it is worth noting, he did it brilliantly.
