He continued: "I'm 51 years old, do you know how much I was punched in the face on The Expendables? No, no. No. And let's just say it happened, so what? Who wants to know?
"Sometimes you let go of stuff ... I don't know, maybe," he added. "Yes. OK. Yes, yes, yes. It happened. I was in Thailand, we had an affair. Sweet kiss, beautiful lovemaking."
Van Damme went on to add: "It would be abnormal not to have had an affair, she's so beautiful and she was there in front of me every day with a beautiful smile, simpatico, so charming, she wasn't acting like a big star. I knew Thailand very well, so I showed her my Thailand."
Spot the euphemism. What a charmer.
"She's a great lady," he added.
Van Damme also dished on the time his ego got the better of him after the box office success of 1994 movie Timecop.
"Universal called, offering him $12m a film for a three-film deal. He demanded $20m," writes the Guardian, "Like Jim Carrey."
"I was f****d up, man. But you know, it was not about the money," he shared. "The people in the UK will read this and say, 'What a f*****g piglet.' Sorry about my expression! I was making movie after movie, and in between movies I was doing promotion. I was tired.
"Everything I was touching was making money. Jim Carrey was being paid a fortune. And I wanted to play with the system. Like an idiot. Ridiculous," he said.
"I was on the blacklist. That was it."
