Jean-Claude Van Damme hit on Newsweek’s reporter Sarah Ball during a recent interview to help promote his new movie, JCVD.Here’s what went down:

48 year old Van Damme: I really opened myself up in “JCVD.” I peeled back the skin of the fruit, cut the pulp and then took that very hard seed. In this film I cut that hard seed, and inside that seed was a kind of liquid cream substance of the man I am, or the woman you are.

Sarah Ball: OK —
VD: It was like being naked—I would love to be naked in front of you.

Sarah Ball: Well, I —
VD: Not being naked being naked. I say such things in Hong Kong and they thought I was being a crazy Frenchman. Being naked of protection.

Sarah Ball: So you’ve no regrets at all?
VD: Believe me—I’ve done very good stuff and very crazy stuff, and I don’t regret the crazy stuff. So are you in New York?

Sarah Ball: Yes, I am.
VD: And are you 27, or 32?

Sarah Ball: I’m 22.
VD: Oh, f–––. That is very young. Will you come to the premiere?

Sarah Ball: I don’t know. When is it?
VD: I don’t know. You will wear all black, a black dress and high heels?

Sarah Ball: Uh —
VD: You can come find me, I will be the one with the very broad shoulders, dark hair and a simple suit. We can have some champagne, you and me.
