Jean-Claude Van Damme's Volvo ad went viral this week, and many have been wondering where it was real or not. The answer: Yes it was. Although, it wasn't as dangerous as it looked.

A rep for the company told The Wall Street Journal that 'the stunt is real and is performed in just one take,” said Anders Vilhelmsson.

The stunt was under their full control and there was never any real danger involved. Van Damme was actually connected to safety lines that you can't see in the video.

"Epic Split," which was released on Nov. 13, is up to 8.2 million views on YouTube. The ad is part of a series of stunts by Volvo Trucks. A previous video, "The Ballerina Stunt," (below) has received 7.4 million views since August.
