Jean-Claude Van Damme Lied about Rush Hour 3 Role?

Oh the drama. About a year ago a rumor was circulating the internet that Jean-Claude Van Damme was going to play a villain in Rush Hour 3, well now according to EmpireOnline via Cinematical the truth has come out. Jean-Claude Van Damme made the whole thing up. He lied and said he had a role in Rush hour 3 when he quite blatantly never did. Man I love that. If you cant get cast in a film, just lie and pick a project you think will never get made. Its pure gold. Jean-Claude Van Damme intended it as a joke, but it got taken seriously.
