Action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme is the star of a new trailer — make that tractor-trailer. The actor performs one of his famous splits in a new short film for Volvo Trucks, and the way he does it is certainly why the video shot past 7 million views in just a couple days.
As the video starts, there's a tight shot of Van Damme with a voiceover from the 53-year-old Belgian actor. "I've had my ups and downs. My fair share of bumpy roads and heavy winds. That's what made me what I am today. Now I stand here before you. What you see is a body crafted to perfection." The camera pulls back off Van Damme's face and we see that he's standing on the rear-view mirrors of two side-by-side trucks. The trucks are moving backward on what appears to be a desert runway. Van Damme, who famously did the splits in such memorable movies as "Bloodsport," tells us he has "a pair of legs engineered to defy the laws of physics, and a mindset to master the most epic of splits." And then we see that the two tractor trailers are moving apart, and Van Damme's legs are spreading with them. This continues until Van Damme is in a full-on split across about a 6- or 7-foot gap.
