Dolph Lundgren is friends with Jean-Claude Van Damme going back to when they starred together in 1992's Universal Soldier.
So he was disappointed when Van Damme turned down The Expendables, Sylvester Stallone's action-film featuring a plethora of famous tough guys -- including Lundgren, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke and even a scene with Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Rumour is that since JCVD, the critically acclaimed movie in which Van Damme laid bare his life as a cash-strapped has-been, the Muscles from Brussels has been trying to make "serious" films only.
As it happens, Lundgren thought JCVD was a mistake. "I thought it was very powerful. But I know him from when he was young, and to me it was just tragic, it was so close to the truth," Lundgren says. "It's like if Mel Gibson did a movie about being a racist. It's like a freak show. To me, I'd like to keep my real world and the film world separate.
"It would have been a better trick if Jean-Claude had used that emotion to speak somebody else's words, not to give a speech about f---ing up your own life."
