Famously Anti-Paparazzi Jay Chou Took Photogs By Surprise When He Was Nice To Them For A Change
His days of violently clashing with them are now far behind.
Fans of Jay Chou would know that the pop king has a very turbulent history with the paparazzi. In addition to being involved in multiple fiery altercations with them (complete with name-calling and rude gestures), he has also released two songs that convey his extreme contempt for them, ‘Surrounded’ and ‘Photo Sticker’.
Well, it looks like the 41-year-old has mellowed a lot over time, perhaps due to age, marriage, or fatherhood (or all of the above). Last Wednesday (Jun 3), Taiwan’s Mirror Media received a tip-off from a reader who had tried to enter a bowling alley in Taipei, only to discover that it was closed to the public as Jay had booked out the entire venue for himself.
Photographers quickly went over to investigate, and sure enough, they managed to catch the singer leaving the place with his wife Hannah Quinlivan and a few friends. And judging from the eye contact in the pictures, it looks like the shutterbugs were spotted as well.
