The Belgian actor was operated on Saturday August 9 in a clinic in Hérault. The intervention would be linked to a back problem.
We had found it in great shape in a slightly less well-bearing film, “The gardener”, with Michaël Youn on Netflix … But the latest news of the native of Berchem-Sainte-Agathe, in Belgium, are unfortunately less reassuring: JCVD, aged 64, was hospitalized near Montpellier, in the park clinic in Castelnau-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-Le-le-Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le.
The “double impact” star was operated on the back this Saturday, August 9. Information confirmed by Doctor Serge Constantin who leads the group to which the clinic belongs where the martial arts specialist is hospitalized. “Normally I do not communicate on the identity of our patients during their stay.

The actor, revealed by “Bloodsport” in 1988, was not spared by health problems during his lifetime. In addition to the frequent injuries linked to his very physical roles, American media had mentioned a heart attack in 2010, rumor denied at the time by the main interested party. Jean-Claude Van Damme also admitted to having been addicted to cocaine, spending up to $ 10,000 per week to get it in his darkest periods. A dependence probably related to his bipolar disorders on which he had thrown himself in 2011.
More recently, it was legal troubles that put JCVD on the front of news: he is targeted by an investigation for having had sex, in Cannes, with five Romanian women whom he knew to be victims of a trafficking in pimping. Facts deemed “grotesque and non -existent”, by his agent, Patrick Goavec.
