Mortal Kombat 1's Jean-Claude Van Damme Skin Shown Off During Ed Boon's Hot Ones Interview
Ed Boon, the co-creator of Mortal Kombat, brought the heat on a Sept. 7 episode of Hot Ones during a conversation about Mortal Kombat 1, showing off the first look at Johnny Cage's Jean-Claude Van Damme skin.
It marks a rare appearance for a video game personality on the hit YouTube series, which mostly features film, TV, and music celebrities as they attempt to eat wings that gradually get spicier while making it through an interview. Boon did the same, and he and Hot Ones host Sean Evans had plenty to talk about in regards to Mortal Kombat 1.
One new addition that's been decades in the making is the inclusion of Jean-Claude Van Damme in the form of a Johnny Cage skin, which will be available for players who purchase the Premium/Kollector's editions of the game.
"We tried a number of times going back and forth with [Van Damme]," Boon said. "This time we hit the lottery and we got him. And we actually have his voice, and he's going to be the Johnny Cage character."
A sneak peek at the skin was revealed on the Hot Ones episode, showing Van Damme as he would have appeared in 1988's Bloodsport — pecks of steel and all.
