The Green Hornet special training, Jay Chou puts on 5kg
by kelvin@multistars - 21st August 2009Source: UDN
Jay Chou has been in America mysteriously for 2 weeks, unexpectedly he's actually living the life of a "super bored" student in Hollywood, everyday he has to go to lessons arranged by the crew, along with American style food and regular hours for rest, it has made him gain 5kg very quickly.
Yesterday he especially returned to Taiwan for the contract extension ceremony with China Mobile "M-Zone", everyone indicated he looked fatter, he explained: "Yes I did eat more and became fatter, I'm 75kg now, but it's muscle not fat, because the male lead (Seth Rogen) in "The Green Hornet" is very buff, you can't look too skinny next to him."
When asked about his interaction with Cameron Diaz on the set, he said: "I'm very quiet in the middle of it, I see her talking happily with the other actors." He expressed he hasn't gone out with just her yet, Jay Chou said: "Going out with her is probably very dangerous right, because a lot of people follow her." As for his speciality, magic, at the moment Jay Chou is still keeping it behind, he said: "We haven't even started filming yet, I'll show it when we start filming."
"The Green Hornet" is starting its filming at the end of August, Jay Chou says he's finds it strange how in Hollywood they rehearse for a month before and go on lesssons, the crew arranged English, fitness and driving lessons for him, everyday the lessons last as long as 8 hours, Jay Chou is pretty bored and said: "I'm complaining more than being voluntary, I still haven't experienced the luxury of Hollywood, not to mention everyday after the lessons finish the shops are closed, it really makes me mad! I feel it's very boring living in America."
The 3 hours of English lessons everyday is what Jay Chou is finding the hardest to endure, the female teacher teaching him English feels like a mother, she has taught Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, the level of his English is a focus of attention, Jay Chou only showed off one phrase "What the hell!" He said laughing: "Simple communication is OK, but in the lessons it is focussed on the script, it's just memorizing words, don't expect my English to be very good, you can act in Hollywood even with bad English, that's why it's a diao place."
Jay Chou expressed, due to the fact "The Green Hornet" is a remake, the role "Kato" which he plays has some room for change, he said: "I suggested to the director that I should add in a few Chinese lines so the audience in Asia will feel it's very unique."
While he was back in Taiwan, he added to his donation for the 88 fundraising, he announced he was participating in Fubon charity student support, they will be financially supporting 300 students to go to school for at least 5 years, a total of 10.8 million yuan, he has also been discussing with Fubon charity on how to help the kids emotionally.
Jay Chou hurriedly returned to Taiwan, today he is flying to Fushan to hold a concert, afterwards he's flying to America for a 4 month long filming of "The Green Hornet" until the end of the year, at the moment he's having a headache about whether he can release his new album like he hopes.
