Jean Claude Van Damme saved his best stunt for 53.
The middle-aged "Expendables 2" action star showed he still has killer leg muscles in a new advertisement from Volvo trucks.

The 53-year-old action star, who starred in cinematic classics like ‘Blood Sport’ and ‘Maximum Risk,’ is famous for his killer thigh muscles.
With folded arms and closed eyes, Van Damme says in a voiceover, "I've had my ups and downs. My fair share of bumpy roads and heavy winds. That's what made me what I am today."
As the camera pans out to show the Muscles From Brussels with each of his legs perched precariously on a truck that's traveling down a highway, the distance between the two vehicles gradually increases.

‘Now I stand here before you. What you see is a body crafted to perfection,’ Van Damme boasts in the ad.
"Now I stand here before you. What you see is a body crafted to perfection," he says as slides into one of his trademark complete splits.
"A pair of legs engineered to defy the laws of physics and a mindset to master the most epic of splits."
Volvo maintains that the thigh-busting ad used no computer effects, though safety lines that prevented Van Damme's potential "Sudden Death" were digitally airbrushed out of the footage.
The commercial, entitled "The Epic Split," has notched 8.6 million views on YouTube.
