WORST IDEA 8/13/10: Jean-Claude Van Damme turns down movie role

Jean Claude Van Damme, who hasn't been a star since 1992 or so, turned down a role in Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables for artistic reasons. The actor, who once played an action hero who ended up in goal for the Pittsburgh Penguins during a playoff game, found being in what's now the top movie in the country beneath him. I'm sure that making direct-to-DVD movies for the foreign market is oh so fulfilling and the "Muscles from Brussels" does not regret this decision at all.
