You have pre-conceptions when you're going to meet someone like Jon Bon Jovi. You know, you've got the 80's hair look and you're thinking rock star.... There was no acting. He didn't act. He just was. Which, for someone who's never done this before, was just mind-blowing. There's this duality to him which is really enticing. He has this enormous charisma coupled with this unbelievable down to earth quality which you don't see very often. It reminded me of when I worked with Tom Hanks.
--Elizabeth Perkins, co-star Moonlight & Valentino, (Rebecca), Bravo Profile 2001

I enjoyed it. All the women on the set enjoyed it. Girls from the art department, costume people, a couple of ladies from the office. All of a sudden there were all these people standing around the monitors watching Jon. He said "There weren't this many people here yesterday." I said, "No, honey, they were not. They're here to see you kiss me."
--Elizabeth Perkins about filming the kissing scene, Bravo Profile 2001

He's incredibly generous and thoughtful and just a sweetheart of a guy.
--Elizabeth Perkins, E! Celebrity Profile 2001

I pleaded but they didn't give me any love scenes with Jon...Jon is so very cute and he's equally charming. He's having great fun acting, but he insists he's a rocker to the core.
--Penelope Ann Miller, co-star Little City

What I found which was really pleasantly surprising I guess is how seriously he too it and he's really gone to acting classes and he's really a student and so he takes it very seriously and he's very dedicated and I think it shows.
--Penelope Ann Miller, E! Celebrity Profile 2001

He has this combination of being confident, yet humble and then sexy. So all that wrapped into one is really good.
--Penelope Ann Miller, E! Celebrity Profile 2001

"Jon's from a sort of blue-collar town, like his character, and immediately he had it all down--the cadence of speech, the look, the mannerisms. There was no rock-star nonsense. He'd hang out all day on the set, even helping the crew. He's totally professional, and you couldn't ask for a sweeter, nicer guy."
--Ed Burns, director & co-star, No Looking Back, Elle, 10-97

"He's got a real laid-back approach. He doesn't try to act. Jon's really natural in front of the camera."
--Ed Burns, US, 4-98

"Some singers don't get it. They don't realize it's an art form and people who really love it like I do and studied and take it seriously and take it as a craft and, ya'know, he really did and it was nice to see."
--Jennifer Esposito, co-star No Looking Back, E! Celebrity Profile 2001

"I think they put stereotpyes on people in this business, God knows, and I'm sure he's had to fight against that, ya'know, they see him as the rock star."
--Jennifer Esposito, E! Celebrity Profile 2001

"You meet him and you forget that he's a rock star. I think that's why he's so good in the movie. Ya'know, he's from this little tiny, he's from Sayreville, New Jersey and he's this regular guy. You forget that he's a rock star. Sometimes when you see the Superman tatoo you're reminded of some of those videos, but other than that..."
--Ed Burns, E! Celebrity Profile, 2001

Yes, before I met him, I did wonder about the wisdom of casting a rock star in the role. But he came in respecting the craft. He came in humbled by the craft. That's a great attitude because it shows that he is taking acting seriously. He didn't show up with any of that rock-star baggage.
--Matthew McConaughey (Lt. Andrew Tyler in U-571)

He's definitely professional. He came to work and he was ready to work and he seemed really focused to me. I think he always really cared about what he was doing.
--Will Estes, co-star U-571 (Rabbit, also star of It's My Life video), E! Celebrity Profile 2001

All the glitz and all the stardom is just like a piece of sketch paper for him. He deosn't have time for it, I don't think. I think he knows what's important.
--Will Estes, E! Celebrity Profile 2001

What's so cool is to find somebody who's had success for twenty years and for them to have not lost touch with reality, man. Jon really gets it. Jon is a family man. His family came down. His mother and father came down. Jon exudes family and loyalty.
