In this series celebrities' exclusive firsthand accounts accompanied by cinematic reenactments illustrate the moments they were confronted with true danger.

Van Damme and his family reveal the man behind the movie legend who works and parties hard. We discover a sensitive but complex character who is strong enough to take on the world, but who also regrets his rock 'n' roll lifestyle and desperately misses his family when he is away filming. This is an intimate portrait of an international movie star as you've never seen him before. Jean-Claude Van Damme: Behind Closed Doors will air Thursdays on Reelz at 11pm ET/ 8pm PT.
