Belgian actor Jean-Claude Van Damme is in Israel on a private holiday and excited fans are thrilled to see him at the country’s landmarks.

The man, known as The Muscles from Brussels, took time to reflect at the Western Wall in Jerusalem and even left a note, as is customary to do, in the wall’s crevices.

The kickboxing actor filmed The Order in Jerusalem’s Old City in 2000.
