Jean-Claude Van Damme's Daughter Could Kick You In The Head

Jean-Claude Van Damme's Daughter Could Kick You In The Head

Twice.

Back before Jean-Claude Van Damme was starring in slightly annoying but also mildly entertaining adverts for weak American beers he was in slightly annoying but also mildly entertaining martial arts movies.

Actually, a quick check of his Wiki page will tell you he's still starring in these movies, but in 2016 he's more well known for flogging cold "refreshing" beer, the Gary Lineker of the brewing industry.

Well, JCVD has a daughter, who thankfully isn't starring in beer adverts and is instead doing high kicks all across social media.

Bianca Van Varenberg (her father's original name) is 25-years-old and little is known about her, until the Daily Mail went and did some foraging on her.

She now goes by the name Bianca Brigitte Van Damme and is trying to follow in her father's footsteps and trying to make it as an actress herself.

The Mail also stated that she has starred in some of her dad's films. We're not sure which ones though and as much as we love you Jean-Claude, we have no intention of trawling through numerous Universal Soldier sequels and direct-to-video releases.

'I want to show little girls and little boys that you can be physical and feminine. That you can cross your legs at the dinner table and then kick ass in a nice, feminine way,' she told the New York Post. 'Kind of like how my father brought martial arts to the mainstream for my generation - I want to continue that legacy.'

She also spoke about her relationship with her father: "I'll agree to meet up with him and then I'll be like, 'Ugh, why am I here?' I'm a perfectionist, and so is he, so he'll always give me little critiques on my form," she says. "He'll be all like, 'Look how high my kick is!' And I'm like, 'Dad, you can't be serious - I'm obviously better than you!'"

Oh, and it looks like she has a dog too, so that's great news.
