You’re Jon Bon Joking

Not satisfied with being on the cusp of selling 100 million albums, rocker Jon Bon Jovi has set his sights on making it in the movies. Already a star of the small screen, thanks to a recurring role on Ally McBeal as the stick insect's love interest, Bon Jovi revealed his list of big screen role models in an interview with the Evening Standard this week. 'Sean Penn is my ultimate guy,' the singer told the paper, before launching into a kiss-ass list of his most favourite actors in the world - ever. 'Johnny Depp I think the world of, John Cusack just slays me, Jimmy (James) Spader I think is a badass. I would have killed for his role in Secretary. That would be against type, but I could pull that one off real well.' Despite being the stuff of big stadium legend, Bon Jovi isn't a blockbuster kind of guy it seems. 'I saw The Matrix Reloaded and I'm still pissed off - I want my money back. You couldn't drag me to X-Men and those kind of movies.' We're sure The Wachowski Brothers and Bryan Singer are all cut up about that. Oh, and Jon, word to the wise - if you want to make it in Hollywood, it helps not to slag off some of the biggest players in town.
