The 42-year-old recently collaborated with renowned auction house Sotheby’s as the “inaugural curator of its celebrated Contemporary Curated series in Asia.

And to promote the collaboration, Jay shot a short video where he shared about how he “became inspired by art at an early age”.

Oh, and Jay speaks entirely in English in the two-minute video.

“If we were to talk about my first contact with art, perhaps I started the moment I was born,” he said, later adding: “My mum was an art teacher. I really enjoy exchanging ideas about art with her. And along the journey, I have met amazing people, who have gotten me further into the world of art.”

“You’re becoming more fluent in English,” a fan gushed, while another marvelled that it was the “ first time” they’d seen Jay do an interview in English.

And then there was this fan, who commented that she had watched it “multiple times” so that she could fangirl over Jay and “learn spoken English” at the same time.

Others also shared that Jay’s English appears to have improved by leaps and bounds since he starred in Hollywood movie The Green Hornet in 2011. (Remember him pronouncing Something cool as thum-thing cool in the film?)

No wonder his fans are wondering if Jay’s wife, Taiwanese-Australian actress Hannah Quinlivan, has been giving him English lessons.
