Or let him catch you talking him up to a friend. Like, get a friend on the phone and steer the conversation to some topic where you can say how great he is at something and make sure he's in earshot when you say it. Subtly let him know that you admire some part of him or what he does. Don't say it directly to him, that seems less sincere.
