Tony Jaa will participate in Hong Kong’s charity campaign that gathers 300 Asian stars for a nude fashion model project. This charity campaign, initiated by Leslie Key who is Hong Kong’s famous photographer, is aimed at raising funds to support Tsunami’s victims. For this nude project, Tony Jaa will represent the concept of Muay thai.
Among 300 Asian stars are Jackie Chan, Aaron Kwok, Takuya Kimura, Choen Kwan Zhi, Kong Li, Chang Poh Chue, Dawon, Aoki, including Thailand’s Tony Jaa.
Tony Jaa said recently that he has agreed to join this nude fashion charity and will soon fly to Hong Kong for the project. Unlike other Asian stars, Tony jaa will appear naked only for the upper part of his body under the concept of “Muay Thai”.
“Only my upper body will be naked. I don’t have courage to appear naked the way Aaron Kwok did. It’s just under the concept of Muay thai. I have my limit because I have to care about my image. Anyway, I´m proud to get this honour because this project is for charity.”
Apart from the above project, Tony Jaa has accepted to be a new presentor for Mitsubishi’s Triton Plus model. The previous presentor for Mitsubishi was Jackie Chan whom Tony Jaa admires a lot. Tony Jaa reveals that he has signed a contract with Mitsubishi for one year receiving an amount of 8-digit Thai baht.
“I am proud to be a new presentor for Mitsubishi. And I also feel very honoured after knowing that Jackie Chan used to be a presentor for this company too. That’s why I said yes to this job without hesitation.”
