Why Jon Bernthal Is the Perfect Hollywood Tough Guy: a Russian Upbringing, Two Too-Perfect Brothers, and 15 Broken Noses
The Emmy winner has just shown his warrior side in 'La Odisea' and the new 'Spider-Man'. His convincing tough-guy aura is forged in a thousand battles on and off the set, until he almost ended up in jail. A professor, his family, and anger control courses helped him choose a less problematic path.
There is an actor who has a relevant role in both The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day and it's not Tom Holland. Nor is it Zendaya. The pair of actors has starred in the cinematic summer, walking from photocall to photocall to promote these two highly anticipated releases, but there is a third person who, without garnering as much media attention as Tomdaya, has established himself as one of the essential faces of the season.
This is Jon Bernthal (Washington D.C., 49 years old), the solemn Menelaus in Christopher Nolan's film, the rough Punisher in Destin Cretton's. “I love their relationship and I love seeing them together,” Bernthal confessed about his co-stars at the premiere of The Odyssey, on July 14. “Beyond all the success he has, knowing that he has someone who supports him and who can love with such intensity makes me very happy,” he replied in relation to Holland, whom he met more than a decade ago in the auditions for their Marvel characters.
