I took his (Alex Van Damme) name, in fact from his father because his father sent me for the first time in Hong Kong to be a picture model. I’m not enough tall to be a catwalk model, plus too big for that, and we became very good friends and I took his name as an honor. Because my name, by the way, is too complicated, it’s Van Veren Berg, so in America it sounds like “Van Varen Berg” (said with American accent). So Van Damme it’s punchy, short, and clear. – [on adopting the name ‘Van Damme’]
