Title: Jay is such a class act !
Post by: affeman on January 09, 2020, 12:51:31 PM
You gotta give the guy huge props. Watching him interact with people non-stop so humble, no matter if it's an IFBB Pro, a movie star or some random gymrat geek, taking a picture and chatting on eye level with literally anyone. I'd be so annoyed by all those f*ing idiots and train at midnight like Phil - but not Jay. What a class act and great representative for the sport of BB :)

I have a friend who is a pro bodybuilder (1990s, now faded from scene). He had nothing but good things to say about Jay’s personality. Peer recommendations are important too. And he had some definite negative statements about a fair number of others.

I watch his video's (I like the boring, quiet, non-screaming people) who act like themselves and not some fake made-up personality.

Never seen anyone in BB (at his level) interact with people like he does. He asks them about themselves, where are they from, their workouts, etc.
Takes pic's w/ everyone. (**Cough, Big Louie, Cough**).

Guys seems to really care, and "gets it", unlike many.
Loves the lifestyle still, and is in it still because of that. Good dude, almost as down to earth and popular as Genova.
Jason's in amazing shape though, Jay needs to work on his physique a bit more to keep up w/ Shit-Lord.

What a physique, I know Shiz-Val was quite the fan of his.

It's weird to have people following you around like that.

That's life for celebrities.

He's there with his new girl, check out at the end as well.

I'd say he's over it.

Jay seems cool...I believe he sits somewhere on the spectrum which is why he's so monotone. My guess is Keri split because Jay needs constant attention 24/7. She probably thought that when he retired competing, they could build a business and live a semi-normal life. She has to sit back now and say "holy shit, this guy retired because his body is all torn up and now he needs even more attention in front of cameras and talking about basically nothing in videos...

No she wanted a kid. Jay didn’t I think. Does she have a kid now? Women don’t think logically.

Jay is very friendly with all fans.

In 2007 when Jay was Mr. Olympia I contracted him to work a special event at a health food store grand opening.  He was contracted for 3 hours.  Several hundred people showed up and the line took over 5 hours to clear up.  When Jay's manager told him his 3 hours were up and he could leave Jay told his manager he was not going anywhere until all his fans had an opportunity to meet him and take a picture. Another fitness celebrity hired for the same event left the second his time was up - leaving several fans out in the cold.  Jay was cordial with his fans and the stores staff.  Truly a class act!

Sounds like Jay.

I hear from some supp store owners that some of these IG celebrities are the absolute worst to do these meet and greats and store promos, greedy.

He represents bodybuilding and being Mr. Olympia (former) well. Acts like professional and gives people his time. In the gym he’s very personable

Couple of observations. For a retired bodybuilder Jay looks amazing. Van Damme looks like he's not aging well. Too much partying?  He looks like hell for 59.  How can Jay workout with all the distractions? I understand why so many famous bodybuilders work out at unusual hours.

Gotta respect this.... When he was on top too.

Lots of girls are nice on their way up or down, but when you are no 1 and still carry yourself respecting others it is true class.

Van Damme is a big smoker. That and maybe tanning too much ages skin really bad.

"Body is all torn up"? Are you blind? The guy is in great shape! He's closing in on 50 years old and still has stage-ready quads. At any average gym, he'd still crush all the recreational bbers. You can only hope to look as good at any age.

He does look amazing. He looks like he could do a cycle and be in the top three at the Olympia.

Being nice with fans (while on video) is a trend that gets you followers and subscribers to your channel ......

For instance, Im watching Jay Tv" at work  (no one here has a clue who he is ) but they see how he reacts with fans shake hands take pics etc and suddenly they get the idea he is more famous, friendly and more charismatic  than he actually is . (it doesnt hurt to have a cult classic movie star near by)




WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH    LE VRO NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Nope …. posting the video with fans asking for pics etc is "humble bragging"  .....  I know a lot of famous people that wouldn't do that and I mean a lot  ……… but  Jay is a good guy ….

Jay explained the reason for the divorce with Keri in an MD interview...she wanted him to retire, and he just kept going.  She basically asked "When is this going to end?", and Jay had no good answer.

Jay is a workhorse to be sure, but likely could have retired a long time ago.  It seems like she wanted a normal life.  Maybe she wanted kids too, but I'm not sure on that one.

I like Jay, he was a great Mr Olympia, but let's face it, Idk if it was just me but, I always assumed he was a total douchebag irl, I know I shouldn't judge like that, but I always assumed he was total a...hole, narcissistic bastard, but I hope I'm wrong. I always assumed his wife got tired of his narcissistic ass
