There are certain celebrities who can get away with flirting with interviewers, no matter how creepy they seem. George Clooney or Angelina Jolie could probably have full-penetration sex with an Inside Edition reporter and the audience would just say, “Aw, that’s so charming!” Ben Affleck almost DID have sex with an interviewer and it was hilarious. But when Jean-Claude Van Damme outright hits on the lady interviewing him, it’s just creepy. Just take a moment to get past his gibberish and get totally skeeved out (interview via Celebitchy):
Thereës a monologue in the film about being a washed-up action star. Did you improvise that?
I like structureólike driving: go past the school on the street, stay on the right side, no hitting the car, go in right, youíll see a big church, stop and take a left, and youíll have it. By doing this Iím giving a structure of life, a path of light, and showing what happens between me and me, which is something very beautiful.Beautiful? Why?
I really opened myself up in ìJCVD.î I peeled back the skin of the fruit, cut the pulp and then took that very hard seed. In this film I cut that hard seed, and inside that seed was a kind of liquid cream substance of the man I am, or the woman you are.OK ó
It was like being nakedóI would love to be naked in front of you.Well, I ó
Not being naked being naked. I say such things in Hong Kong and they thought I was being a crazy Frenchman. Being naked of protection.So youëve no regrets at all?
Believe meóIíve done very good stuff and very crazy stuff, and I donít regret the crazy stuff. So are you in New York?Yes, I am.
And are you 27, or 32?Iëm 22.
Oh, fñññ. That is very young. Will you come to the premiere?I don ë t know. When is it?
I donít know. You will wear all black, a black dress and high heels?Uh ó
You can come find me, I will be the one with the very broad shoulders, dark hair and a simple suit. We can have some champagne, you and me.
The best part is that after he tells her he wants to be naked in front of her, he basically says he’s tried that line before and was lucky he wasn’t chased through Hong Kong with pitchforks. You’ve gotta love the man’s determination to make a creepy pick-up line work.
Oh, and speaking of creepy interviews, Amy Winehouse is at it again, chatting up anyone who rings her buzzer. Don’t miss this video if you’re really into detailed discussions of X Factor. Otherwise, just look out for Wino’s giggle. We’re thinking of making it our ringtone.
