Jay was born in Ottawa and was raised by his mother in Montreal. As a kid, Jay loved scary movies, so much so that he told his mom he wanted to be the next Stephen King. Being a good mom she signed up Jay for acting classes. His first gig was on a popular teen series 'Are You Afraid of the Dark.' That led to a starring role on the YTV show 'My Hometown.' After that, it was 'Popular Mechanics for Kids' with another Canadian - Elisha Cuthbert. Then, the serious acting began. Jay landed the role of an obsessed Led Zeppelin fan in the film 'Almost Famous.' By then, Jay says he was pretty much done with acting, and was headed to film school, until he landed a role on Judd Apatow's latest TV series at the time - 'Undeclared.' Though the series on Fox was short lived, the impression Jay made on the industry wasn't. Movie roles poured in - 'Rules of Attraction', 'Million Dollar Baby', 'Knocked Up', 'Just Buried' and this past summer, 'Tropic Thunder.' These days, Jay spends his time between Montreal and L.A. His latest project is the movie 'Real Time', a comedic drama about a compulsive gambler given one hour to live by the man hired to kill him.
He's an ACTOR and I admire him for that. He's modest and loves his province! GO HABS GO!
He's so down to earth >< I adore him. XD
I love his accent
oh my god...it's ridiculous how in love i am with jay...
HOLY SHIT, JAY FROM PMK!!
i love how deep his voice is... its gotten so low even since undeclared.
Jay was such a cute kid.
omg. i remember my hometown. it was AMAZING as a kid.
great interview :D
love the insight into clint eastwood's directing. and popular mech. brings back some ol' memories :D
I like him a lot
love him hes so adorable
Now these Green Day ads i can appreciate :D
Stroumboulopoulos does look like Trafalgar Law!!! and Jay is a funny guy
He's been living in Montreal for so long he would have developed it over time.
Did he say HAMILTON?
@lovesmovies477 Why are you such a hater? Everyone has the right to not like actors, etc. So, keep that in mind next time you trash someone. Your opinion isn't the be all, end all.
thumbs up for 11:15..
why is that dweeb crossing his legs?
@ILoveJayBaruchel vomitous
@iwishiwasthemoon87 he looks like a toothpick
OHH YEAH!!! I ADMIRE THIS CUTE HANDSOME GUY :)
JAY BARUCHEL I LOVED HIM SO MUCH HIS WORK :)
Love Jay! Such a cutie!
I like his voice and he's cute :D
omG i love him! he is so funny and cute!
he's so adorable :]
I love his eyes
DUDE! I watched Are You Afraid of the Dark and PMK ALL THE FREAKING TIME! I had no idea that was him... awesome! Go Canada! XD
jay baruchel is georgeous...
So cool to see him here, just as he's hitting his stride. Good for him for being able to choose such interesting projects at a young age.
A lot of child stars (or at least, I'm thinking of Hollywood; it may be different elsewhere) and former ones for that matter, get dragged around like workhorses and find the industry hard on them when they then have to fend for themselves. I think Jay's always been a lot tougher than people give him credit for, for a multitude of reasons.
Jay speaks quite eloquently; I doubt he's high here.
He was a lot younger in this interview (26/27)
You're right. This coming from a Montrealer :) lol
finally! someone who sees it other than myself!
love the way this guy talks
hes so candian holy shit his accent...
he's so beautiful
OMJ I LOVE HIM!!!
CANADA RULES!!!
He's the Canadian Robert Sheehan.
I wanna marry him :|
He was on PMK?!?!
2:20 dat lip bite
*dies*
FACE represent!!!
2:20 Oh Myyyyyyyy
HE IS SO CUTE!!! im in love :"> kekee
WOOT PMK!!!
cute giggle
Hiccup!
@Simple0Plan0Fan the quintessential canadian accent, he sounds like he is from Montreal... which I think he is. Everyone has an accent...
@Simple0Plan0Fan Sure am, and I can't define it but he just SOUNDS Canadian. Like I know he is CDN when I hear him and I like it.
Me: Isn't he sooooo cute?
Mom: He looks like a wimpy nerd
Me: HE'S STILL CUTE......NOW GO AWAY!!!!
@Annahojan 27? whoah!! thought he was youngerrr... so cute tho
I can totally relate about the farting thing. You seem to always be farting when it's NOT the time. "In an exam when it's totally silent, when you have to speak in public..." It's embarrassing.
@Simple0Plan0Fan Jewish people that live west of St Laurent in Montréal don't speak (or even utter) a word a French, and are basically secluded from the rest of people in Québec.
@0barbeq i agree!!! ♥
Actually, Nicolas Cage said that Jay has a very nice voice and they used to improvise with jazz between takes in Sorcerer's Apprentice
@Awesomeness7Mega yeah, i just hung up some pics of him from GQ on my wall
and i've made 13 keychains of him and one button
i plan on making more.... =]]
he's so cute! i never thought he was on PMK! i used to watch that show when i was a kid. more familiar to me were tyler and elisha.
cool guy..reminds me of james franco, and jason segal
YO everyone, I know you guys think he's cute and all, I do to. But I'm his girlfriend and he's with me.
The shot of Jay on a street corner outside a kit-kat convenience store, is right behind my house!!! :)
one more thing geore strombo is far superior to rick the temp
as u can see who is doing better imo
I farted on a ride once and the lady beside started to laugh. I was like omg Im so sorryyyy lol
@brickman73 I'm guessing you don't like him much...but I happen to find him quite attractive.
lol after watching shes out of my league my child hood self was wierded out XD
Where did his accent come from? He didn't have it on pmk
OH MY GOD. HE WAS ON ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?! WHY DID I NEVER KNOW?!
@AmnahWorld567 oh yeah im looking at one of the pictures right now!!
he's cute and funny, but i heard he has a MAJOR attitude problem.
if he was a singer, i would listen to his songs only.
What a cutie pie he is.
Indeed, I actually quite enjoyed listening to him. Often with celebrities I get bored out of my skull.
i wanna marry his face AH
is he single????????
My Hometown!
lol at 2:51
Is he high?
i want him
hes high
that's cool that he's had all that success and is living in Montreal, loves the Canadians... i had no idea. just checked it curiously on the tropic thunder imdb after watching it. hope to one day be as lucky to work in american films like he does even if i'm a thousand years older already. i'm pretty sure his sister has gone to my acting school. anyhoo...great actor, hope his career keeps on rockin.
2:49
If you watch Jay in The Trotsky, out in theatres now, you'll see that he's making good on his ambition to make the line between Canadian and American movies disappear. Wonderful film. Way to go Jay!
Hahah...I know, his accent is so strong....As a fellow Canadian, I sometimes worry that my accent is that obvious but I just don't realize it. I wonder if he does.
i have too much of an addiction with this boy
especially since he's like 11 years older than me
2:11 the wave of "Hi everyone. I'm overwhelmed."
Erections!! Lmao
min 0:25 "Jay was born in Ottawa to a JEWISH father and a ROMAN CATHOLIC mother"
Like I need to know ...
he's so fidgety
