Nicholas Van Varenberg – Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Son

After garnering a skyrocketing degree of recognition, it’s no wonder Jean-Claude has become quite a staple figure in the martial arts scene. Hardcore fans of the action game Mortal Kombat would most likely know that one of its playable characters, Johnny Cage, was based on Jean-Claude himself. In the game’s earlier installments, character Cage’s outfit was a direct callback to the actor’s work in Bloodsport.

Like his daughter Bianca, Jean-Claude’s son Nicholas Van Varenberg also became interested in pursuing an acting career. Despite the enthusiasm, Nicholas only has one acting gig so far, and that’s alongside his father in 2018’s Kickboxer: Retaliation, the seventh film in the Kickboxer franchise. After its production wrapped up, Nicholas decided to take some time away from the spotlight. Well, when he does return to the acting business, be it sooner or later, it’s safe to say that he’ll do so as a new and improved actor.
