Jean-Claude Is Okay! Heart Attack Reports Just "Rumors"

Jean-Claude Van Damme responded to reports that he suffered a minor heart attack, by saying he is 100% healthy.
The actor wrote on his Facebook page that it was not true, he said “Please, do not believe all what you read from rumors on any unofficial JCVD sites.”
Well this is good news!
The site TwitchFilm.net reported that Van Damme had a minor heart attack on set in New Orleans and was taken to the hospital. They also reported that he returned to Brussels with his wife….hmmm.
Why would someone make up a story like this??
