I'm pretty sure they must be related somehow, it just doesn't make any sense whatsoever for them to look so much like each other especially when they were younger and not be related even a little bit. Maybe they're 8th or 9th cousins or something but they don't know about it. It would be very interesting if they do like a blood test or whatever test it is that you do to find out whether you're related to somebody or not.

@@hotdog7792 damn internet is serious business for you. Here's a tip, if there's a cry laughing emoji on the end, that usually implies a joke was made 👍
JCVD did a spilt between two semi’s by standing on the side mirror of each of as they both drove backwards and pulled away from each other. JCVD wins the split competition
RVD is the only autograph (that I lost 😅) of a wrestler i've gotten. When he arrived at the Allstate Arena, he made sure he signed like 50 autographs before going in.. and even gave us an "👍R.V.D!👍". Every other wrestler I saw just walked by. 😂
When I was a kid in the late 90s, I thought they were related too. It crossed my mind that RVD didn't mention their relativity because he didn't want to benefit from nepotism. It's hard to believe they never played off their resemblance by doing projects.
They could still do it if there was a director who made lot of straight to dvd movie was wrestling fan it doesn't have be action movie it can be comedy movie
Funny story...Rob came to my elementary school in the early 90s (after his WCW stint) when working for a smaller wrestling promotion. My classmate asked if him and Van Damme for related which he replied "he's my cousin" lol.
If I was a director and wrestling fan I would pitch it to studios and streaming service platforms( I think that best place for it)and even studios that make straight to dvd movies it doesn't have to be a action movie it can be a comedy movie or sport movie there is a interest to see both of them on screen together
Can we all just take a minute and appreciate that the JCVD movie he went with was Cyborg? He didn't pick Blood Sport, or Kickboxer, nah, he picked Cyborg. A man of culture.
What??? The very first time I saw him and his name in like 1995 I knew the name came because he looked like him and had all the martial arts style and flexibility 🤷🏽♂️😄😄😄
I remember one time back in the early 2000s in high school reading my wrestling magazine, and even a kid in my class who was NOT a wrestling fan, saw a pic of RVD in it, and said ''Oh I guess Jean-Claude Van Damme is in wrestling now.'' lol.
I was curious why he asked him about himself... I was so confused for 3 seconds which felt like an actual minute. Then I realized it's RVD... oh jesus.
When I was a kid in the early 90's, sometimes on the weekend I would play regular Nintendo and my mom would bake chicken for lunch. Then I'd eat while watching reruns of Diff'Rent Strokes and it's little remembered short-lived spinoff Strokin' Diff'Rent.
When I was younger watching wrestling I SWORE he was related to Van Dam.. the looks and martial arts stuff.. I couldnt understand how they werent brothers LOL
Main reason why rvd is one of my favorite as a kid grew up on Blockbuster movies my dad would always bring in van damme movies y would enjoy watching them and when I saw rvd at WWE and with his unique wrestling style and theme song there's no reason why not to love him but yeah I also though they where related
As kids my brother and my uncle just assumed he was Van Dam's little brother because of they looked alike and had the same name. Then we got the internet and found out there was 0 relation. 😂
What's insanely crazy to me is that both have similar fighting styles and both can do near perfect split's. Not to mention everything else including looks and more. Crazy isn't it...
I'm one of these many grown kids who were blown away finding they were not really brothers. I mean, very same face, same moves with the kicks and stuff, "Van Dam"... It's actually a shame that we don't have a picture of them together !
Even I also believed during childhood that RVD and Vandamme were the same guy . They even look similar. Both can kick in the same way too, and also, some splits were the same.
Well damn, after 25 years I finally have some closure on this. I have always wondered this but stopped watching wrestling back in like 2003. Sinxe then, Google has come gone and I never even looked it up. Now it makes sense, the promoter gave him that name because he looks so much like JCVD!
“Then why the hell do they look so much alike?” 😂
They just do.
Maybe their moms has some splainin to do lol
Good question tbh 😂
@@brandonyouth5241 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Prime RVD is exactly the same, Rob was just bigger, buff. Jean Claude was slim, ripped. Look at the cheekbones.
It's not just the looks and the name, it's the splits and the martial arts too.
exactly
he based his moves and name off of him so duh

Your logic is backwards. That’s why Rob had that name chose!
He obviously developed all that after the fact. Come on guys you can’t be this dense 😂

I used to think they were brothers or cousins as well. It's crazy the name and look.

He was Jean-Claude's stunt double actually.

Yo. Me too lmao
Like today 😮😮😮😢😢😢😢
They need to have a Split Off 😂😂

Double Impact 2 - starring JCVD and RVD
RVD is the only autograph (that I lost 😅) of a wrestler i've gotten. When he arrived at the Allstate Arena, he made sure he signed like 50 autographs before going in.. and even gave us an "👍R.V.D!👍". Every other wrestler I saw just walked by. 😂
It's their signature kick that made me assume they are related.
When I was a kid in the late 90s, I thought they were related too. It crossed my mind that RVD didn't mention their relativity because he didn't want to benefit from nepotism. It's hard to believe they never played off their resemblance by doing projects.
Even more bizarre since Jean-Claude has at least four movies where he has a twin.
Nepotism hahahahahha

If I didn't know better, I'd swear you two could pass for brothers, LOVE RVD N JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAM❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can we all just take a minute and appreciate that the JCVD movie he went with was Cyborg? He didn't pick Blood Sport, or Kickboxer, nah, he picked Cyborg.
A man of culture.
I never realized how similar they looked until now
Me neither. They definitely need to star in a movie together as long lost brothers
I feel back in ECW, he looked 90% like Jean Claude... but ironically, with Steven Seagal's hairstyle. 😄
@@thebasketballhistorian3291he look like both
You didn't pay attention
What??? The very first time I saw him and his name in like 1995 I knew the name came because he looked like him and had all the martial arts style and flexibility 🤷🏽♂️😄😄😄
Lmaooo that last bit is hilarious 😂😂
They should have added rvd in that mortal kombat game!
Rolling thunder brutality where the body just explodes after impact...imagine!!!
Okay INTERNET let's bring Jean and Rob together for a meet and greet!!!
I can say that I love his movie.
Wrong Side of Town was awesome
Welp. I know what movie I'm watching next.
Yooo this is crazy l,i could of sworn these 2 were real life brothers!!!!This really does have me blown away.
I never thought we would hear him talk about them looking alike or would know if they met each other in person. Thank you
🙏😎
I legit thought they was brother's for yeeeears
The WWE should have reached out to Jean Claud Van Dam to do a segment with RVD.
I remember one time back in the early 2000s in high school reading my wrestling magazine, and even a kid in my class who was NOT a wrestling fan, saw a pic of RVD in it, and said ''Oh I guess Jean-Claude Van Damme is in wrestling now.'' lol.
This interview izzawork. JCVD and RVD are definitely brothers.
I was curious why he asked him about himself... I was so confused for 3 seconds which felt like an actual minute. Then I realized it's RVD... oh jesus.
Recently read an article about RVD’s wife AND girlfriend, when I say this man is winning at life, I mean it. Go look at the pictures.
They both look more like men than he does.
Are them two different persons or... wait, what?!
@@emperomassinencambio...9941Well he said "he's winning at life"
yeah, dude's got Mad Game
Embarrassed to say it…. But it took me years to realize they weren’t the same person 🤣🤣
I didn't have access to see ECW when I was a kid so the only place I ever saw RVD was in wrestling mags and I remember wondering if they were related.
Great segment of the interview. CVV you the best bra...par excellence 💯💯💯 👍
RVD is my childhood hero. He's really one of a kind wrestler!
Their looks, their names and their martial arts kicks & splits.. you can't think otherwise..
When I was a kid I thought they were brothers lol.
They both are great fighters.
Both are fan favourites..
Both look good.
One of my favorite wrestlers. In the top 5 for sure.
The fact that he can do the splits with ease like the real jc van dam is a true testiment to his devotion to perfecting the craft.
Best interview yet
For a very long time I used to think they were the same dude 😂😂😂. Fr tho, nothing like the fans chanted RVD, this dude could fly
These 2 in an expendables sequel would be awesome
😎👍The accents alone! lol
Not only do they look alike, but they're both capable of doing chair splits, and both have martial arts background, both can kick high
The two Van Dammes😂
I been waiting all my life for this now my life is complete
RVD and Jean both r my childhood heroes
Jean Claude was a huge ECW fan so he was actually the one who changed his name so he could become famous like Rob.
Someone yelled at his mom😂😂 hilarious
When I was a kid in the early 90's, sometimes on the weekend I would play regular Nintendo and my mom would bake chicken for lunch. Then I'd eat while watching reruns of Diff'Rent Strokes and it's little remembered short-lived spinoff Strokin' Diff'Rent.
When I first saw him, I thought:
"Oh sh*t! Van Damme started wrestling?!"
I'm glad I wasn't the only one
First time I saw RVD I laughed. I made that connection right away.
I heard Rob Van Dam being hyped for a TV match. I was stunned on just how close he looked to JCVD
Rvd was 1 of my fav wrestlers
Seriously they could actually be bothers 😂 the chances they look that much alike plus the insane physical gifts they have being identical is wild 😂
When I was younger watching wrestling I SWORE he was related to Van Dam.. the looks and martial arts stuff.. I couldnt understand how they werent brothers LOL
I once thought they both are one person - such a striking resemblance ! 🤣😮
I want JCVD and RVD doing dance in the bar with random chicks and kicking out random dudes.😂
cyborg was great lol
don't ever forget when rvd would hit the ring you got ready to say "ROB VAN DAMME" screaming it at the tv as a kid
Dude, they'd be great in a movie together. JCVD discovers an estranged son, hilarity and ass kicking ensue.
I was in disbelief that these two were different.
Finally got the talk about this shit cause I thought they was brothers 😭🤣
Main reason why rvd is one of my favorite as a kid grew up on Blockbuster movies my dad would always bring in van damme movies y would enjoy watching them and when I saw rvd at WWE and with his unique wrestling style and theme song there's no reason why not to love him but yeah I also though they where related
WTH! I thought they were related this entire time........DAMN!😔
First off we need two get these two together.
I mean similar looks ,name , martial arts ...
They should do a movie together or something
Legend, I would say one of the most Loved Wrestlers Ever for sure, he is so loved, does anybody ever remember RVD as a Heel? Exactly! No You Don't!
When i was younger i literally thought they were real life brothers 😂
They should have a show where they travel the country together in a small RV… “Jean and Robs Damn Van”
JCVD to RVD " Can you show me one your special kicks and then we can do a dance off after...😅
They still the same to me 😂 I'ma need RVD to hit the famous John Claude Van Damme dance 🤣🤣🩰
RVD deserve to listed in Mortal Kombat 😂
Michael Rooker and Sid Vicious have identical looking faces. Especially when they were younger. They looked so much alike facially.
As kids my brother and my uncle just assumed he was Van Dam's little brother because of they looked alike and had the same name. Then we got the internet and found out there was 0 relation. 😂
