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.
