Jean Claude Van Damme Hated Being the Predator, Because Its “Green Screen” Suit Looked Dumb

Did you know Jean Claude Van Damme was in the Predator cloaking suit? Maybe not, because no one  properly explained to him that the bright red rubber suit he was wearing wouldn’t actually appear on film, and he went uncredited. Thanks to this video, we now know the truth behind Van Damme’s quest to finally show off his martial arts skills.

We also know the truth behind Steve Johnson’s quest to look exactly like Robert Downey Jr. in the Iron Man movies. He’s nailing it, by the way.
