Jean-Claude Van Damme: Behind Closed Doors
It was shot a few years ago, and it follows him and how he lives. It's kind in a documentary format, but there is no self promotion like the Osbornes or other shows like this.
It shows how he struggles with anxiety and other personal issues on a daily basis. He is very open about why he had a failing out with Holywood and how that whole scene chewed him out. He's very protective of his kids and deeply in love with his wife, who pretty much saved his life many times, even if they had many conflicts in the past. He's a very conflicted man with deep self esteem issues due to his very humble childhood (he grew up in total poverty), and the documentary is not afraid of showing his moments of total despair.
I felt it was very interesting and very humanizing. I grew up watching his movies, thinking how fucking cool he was, and we all remember how the medias made fun of him endlessly during his low points of his career in the late '90. Seeing that show made me understand why he was acting so out of it in those days.
Still, it's not a depressing watch, there are lots of funny moments (JCVD is super into animals and nature, and he owns a shelter for animals! Who knew this? He rescues street dogs he befriends during his shoots across Europe and brings them back to his shelter, no matter the costs), and it really shows a personal side of him.
I'll be checking out his new show for sure
