Although Joe Rogan doesn’t fight on the mat anymore, his respect for those who do is immensely high. The podcaster’s awe at the Hollywood personalities who are able to perform martial arts tricks is especially looked upon with goofy eyes. Without a doubt, the Hollywood legend, Jean-Claude Van Damme, comes on the list for whom Rogan can act as a fanboy. In the recent episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, the 55-year-old podcaster invited a fellow stand-up comedian and podcaster, Ryan Long. While discussing movie stars performing tricks, the name of Van Damme couldn’t be missed.
The beloved UFC color commentator was head over heels for JCVD. As the duo looked at a clip from ‘Bloodsport’, the flash in Rogan’s eyes as Van Damme performed one of his signature splits on a pillar. Although it is pretty difficult to capture Rogan’s eyes, JCVD seemingly did it with just a few of his splits and handsomeness.

“He’s doing splits on the top of a f**king giant pillar, overlooking the city. I’d be scared to sit there,” Rogan exclaimed. Long then chimed in and revealed that 90% of the actor’s movies had him doing splits. However, Rogan’s eyes were sparkling as that of a fanboy’s. The podcaster even talked about Van Damme’s splits on two chairs.
Rogan said, “First point, he’s a beautiful man. He’s a beautiful man. I mean, his body is flawless. So, he’s over there, flawless body, doing splits. Look at them. He can do splits on two chairs, where he puts one heel on each chair and he like bends his body. That’s nuts! That’s really hard to do, man.”
