The actor, best known for his combat roles, may be starring along with Chan in the film Rush Hour 3. Van Damme, 45, was a hero in the world of film until the end of the 1990s. The actor almost confirmed the role on British TV, but stopped short of the complete story.
If the rumours are true, Van Damme would play Bruno Cavalier in the movie, a villain. It remains to be seen if Van Damme can still pull an audience to theatres, as he has not appeared in a movie for six years. Despite his recent absence, it is reported that Van Damme is still in excellent shape for combat roles.
