If It's True You Have To Admire It
When you are Jean Claude Van Damme, career opportunities don't come quite as quickly or easily or pay as well as they used to. So, when the chance to do some press for his new film came along and was going to put him in the limelight for a little while again, you know he was desperate for it. But, according to the NY Post, Jean Claude decided to pass on all the promotional appearances because one of his dogs is in a coma and just couldn't bear to leave it right now.
Apparently, Jean Claude lives in Thailand and he just adopted seven puppies and this is one of those puppies. Now, I know I am always a cynic, but there really is not any reason to lie or make up this story. Jean Claude was going to get a bunch of press for this film so he really didn't need this. He would get more attention for the film press than he will for this.
So, I choose to believe he is doing this out of the goodness of his heart, and also because he knows that he can always get out there in a few weeks. I like seeing actors though putting someone or something ahead of themselves on the priority list.

Hm I think I'll have to agree with you on that one. Press for a film probably would have done better for him and his career.
They should just roll out a big screen tv and play this video wherever he would've appeared.
Of all places why the hell would he live in Thailand?
Perhaps his money will last longer there?
Cheap sex with underage trannies?
If the rumors are true I was not aware that Thailand had medical advances in what ails JCVD, European countries yes, but not Thailand.
hmmmmmm
so he abuses women but stays home for a puppy in a coma. sorry, but i can't give him props for that seeing how he's treated human beings.
my same thoughts molly.
"I can crack walnuts with my buttcheeks!"
One of the best bodies in the business.

I know several people who've moved to Thailand, including my former employer. Fantastic country and fantastic people. Its sex industry is one small part of its reputation.
As for Jean Claude, I can believe he cancelled his press tour. I cancelled a trip to Europe (the day I was to leave) for a sick animal and lost my all my inter-Europe airfares and hotel deposits, vacation time... and it was worth every penny.
I was going to be seeing him here in Friday, and I was really excited about it. Now I guess I have mixed feelings. It turns out that somewhere deep down inside, I think I was half expecting to see that man with the outrageous physique and the bubble butt, in spite of the fact that I know he looks like warmed-over crap now. And knowing that he's made a funny, self-effacing movie that people love, and had a chance to make up for years of bad press by making public appearances for this movie but is throwing that all away for a sick dog, is making my heart ache. I have a dying animal, too, but I haven't something like that on the line (thank god). Big props (and good luck) to the poor guy.
Damn he was hot.
I hope his puppy recovers. I've never been a fan but this at least makes me like him a little bit better.
Oh I hope this new movie follows the rules of the old JCVD drinking game - every time he speaks, you take a swig of whatever you're drinking. At the end of the movie, you see how much is left in the glass.
