Must be a few years old that

96/97 for the Versace publicity? Little bit later for the movie star stuff but he'd basically given up by 2000.

Yeah, that statement could have been made at any time after 1996, when Jon did the ad and Moonlight and Valentino or The Leading Man

For context, here's a link to the referenced Kerrang! article. It isn't an interview. It's just a collection of some comments Hetfield has made over the years.

More often than not, James Hetfield prefers to let the music do the talking for him...

So when he does speak, people listen.

While the de facto focal point of arguably the biggest metal band in history remains something of an enigmatic figure to most, he has occasionally allowed a brief glimpse into what makes him tick and what kind of man he is outside of the spotlight. These are just a selection of some of his past reflections, asides, quips and insights.

All quotes sourced from Kerrang! Archives, Rolling Stone (Rollingstone.com), Into The Black The Inside Story Of Metallica 1991-2014 by Paul Brannigan & Ian Winwood

Considering the other quotes are about topics like religion, Metallica, the inner workings of the band, singing, doing press, etc., the writer's decision to include what he said about Jon seems a little random to me. (But then, so does hunting.)

That quote is old. I doubt James thinks the same thing now, I mean, he sure still hates Jon, but I don't think he dares mention versace or movie star when he has done the same thing in recent years.... . How to use his image for a luxury Italian brand of suits (Brioni) and even have a small role as an actor in a Zack Efron movie (Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile) for Netflix.

Quote is old. Both bands have shown respect for one another as far back as the VH1 awards. Jame used to be widely known for being a bit of a dick whenever he drank, but he's mellowed out about the same as Jon. And both have taken their pretentious "nice rock guy personas" straight to the bank $$$.....

Why? JBJ the pretty boy pop star hasn't been a thing for quite some time now. Plus Hetfield is friends with Chad Kroeger.

Lars was always a huge Bon Jovi defender.

He read that we're unhappy with them, so he decided to quit doing them, obviously

I honestly think that someone from Bon Jovi actually monitors this board.
