Famed action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme was supposed to play the Predator in the original Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic, but was reportedly fired because he wanted the Predator to kickbox.
And Van Damme was like (Van Damme voice), “I must do that; that’s how I see the Predator.”
Another version of the story told by director John McTiernan claims Van Damme lost out on the Predator role because his agent screwed up.
And Van Damme says, “Kiss my balls!” and walks out, and that was the end of that.”
