A decade after &#039;The Expendables 2&#039;, Jean-Claude Van Damme believes that he is braver than Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.

Jean-Claude Van Damme Claims That Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone “are afraid” When It Comes to Taking Up Projects

Once upon a time when CGI was in its infancy, high-octane car chases,
explosions, guns, and loaded dialogues were what drove Hollywood to be the
entertainment capital it is today. However, to command such big projects,
studios needed big muscles to be their faces. And thus came to light some of the
biggest stars and franchises in Hollywood, along with uncalled rivalries. Often
competing for the same projects, the early action landscape frequently had the
likes of Arnold [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger]

Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Sylvester Stallone, among others, pitted against each
other.

With the advancement of time and technology, screen space became plenty, and the
feuds came to rest as many often landed the same projects together. Now,
reminiscing about their days with a sprinkle of good-old rivalry, Van Damme had
something to say.


JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME BELIEVES HE IS BRAVER THAN ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER AND
SYLVESTER STALLONE

Jean-Claude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone threw their
mutual animosities out of their hearts as they starred together in 2012’s The
Expendables 2. While bygones are bygones, Van Damme believes that he is braver
than the other two heavyweights. In fresh statements to DailyMail, he claimed
that

and Sly, they are afraid to go international, but I am a globetrotter.” The
63-year-old summed up his ‘bravery’ as he went with his movies to “dangerous
places” like Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan and yet felt “welcomed there.”



Both Schwarzenegger’s and Stallone’s breakthrough projects were shot primarily
in the US. The Muscles from Brussels was a big fan of Stallone while embroiled
in an intense rivalry with Schwarzenegger. Further, the FUBAR star was himself
so up in arms against Stallone that they could not even be in the same room.

Yet, after they had all established themselves as action legends, things cooled
down. As of now, the trio are moving ahead with their own ventures along with
showbiz.

In his remarks, however, his former co-stars were not the only ones Van Damme
spoke of. He also had something to say to one of his still ongoing feuds.


VAN DAMME SPEAKS HIS MIND ON A DECADES-LONG FEUD WITH STEVEN SEAGAL

The Bloodsport actor may have extended an olive branch to Arnold Schwarzenegger,
yet he is still not done with Steven Seagal. The duo’s feud, which stems back
from the early 90s, still persists. In the same interview, Van Damme took a
swipe at Seagal, claiming “If Steven doesn’t like me, that’s OK.” The bitter
spot in their relationship happened when Seagal questioned the star’s martial
arts validity.



“I really don’t mind,” he reiterated his stand on the action legend.
Additionally, the two’s beef had reached an alarming peak when Van Damme
challenged Seagal outside a Stallone party. Fortunately, it never went ahead and
a literal ‘bloodsport’ was prevented. In one of the most long-standing duels in
cinema history, only time will tell if there ever will be a thaw.
