A *-ring R is strongly J-*-clean provided that for any a is an element of R, there exists a projection e is an element of R such that a - e is an element of J(R) and ae = ea where J(R) is the Jacobson radical of R. Here it is proved that a *-ring R is strongly J-*-clean, if and only if R is uniquely clean and strongly *-clean, if and only if for any a is an element of R, there exists a unique projection e is an element of R such that a - e is invertible and ae = ea. As a consequence, strong J-cleanness and uniquely strong cleanness coincide with each other under any involutions.
