Hicks: Jean Claude Van Damme had affair with Kylie Minogue

Jean-Claude Van Damme says he had an affair with Kylie Minogue in 1994, when they were making "Street Fighter."

Van Damme revealed the romance to the Guardian while promoting his new movie, "Expendables 2."

"I tell you what, you should ask her. She'll have a better memory. I'm 51 years old, do you know how much I was punched in the face on 'The Expendables?'," he said. "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. Yes. OK. Yes, yes, yes. It happened. I was in Thailand, we had an affair."

OK. Thanks for the info. Thank God he didn't provide poetic details. Now stop talking. Please?

"Sweet kiss, beautiful lovemaking," Van Damme said. "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. She's a great lady."

His Thailand? That's what he calls it. Really?

"Street Fighter" was released in 1994, but it's unclear when exactly it was shot. Van Damme was married to his third wife until 1992 (he remarried her in 1999) and married his next wife in February 1994, so it's unclear whether or not he was cheating on either of them at the time.
