Jay Chou: 'The Green Hornet''s Kato, in His Own Words

I interviewed Taiwanese pop star, composer, singer and actor Jay Chou (周杰倫), who stars in the new comedy-action The Green Hornet, directed by Michel Gondry and also starring Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz. The Green Hornet has seen many lives, but is most famous for introducing Bruce Lee to the wide world in the 1966 TV show. Chou plays Lee’s character, Kato, sidekick to Rogen’s main character. .

Known as “Chou Dong” (Boss Chou) among Chinese folks, Jay Chou is one of the most popular singers from Asia -- known for being a powerful, lyrical piano-player/composer that would make any Chinese mother proud. He’s also starred in several Chinese films, including Initial D and Curse of the Golden Flower. His music's distinct sound fuses classical/romantic, hip-hop and Chinese styles. (My almost 4-year-old son is a fan. And when he misbehaves, I have to gently remind him, “ Ting Mama De Hua” -- a popular song by Chou that roughly translates to “listen to your mama.”)US NEWS PAPER
