Jonathan my " youngest" by one hour and fifteen minutes - as his twin likes to remind him, wants to be an actor- theatre, not TV- he loves the dramatic- loves to be dramatic, and has a wonderful stage presence- to Jon life is truly a stage....
He collects coats- a long black Goth coat- bought from Camden Market, a " My Chemical Romance" style coat ( see the picture) was his 18th birthday present- a leather jacket was his Christmas present... you get the idea....
He also likes to look the part- no matter what he is playing- for Toad we endured a bathroom covered in green paint for a week, for Macbeth he dyed his hair red, mid-night blue for Weird Sisters, and recently black and white to play Caiaphas in Jesus Christ Superstar.... today I arrived home to find his hair is now black and red- deep red.... because he'd become fed up with the white....
Tomorrow he has booked a tattoo- he is paying with his 18th birthday money....
Now I could argue- but it is actually quite a small tattoo, and quite a nice design....and also annoyingly no matter what Jon manages to look good...
He may regret it tomorrow though- boy is his arm going to hurt! But he will smile- he is like that- at 6' 3" with size 13 feet Jon is our gentle giant- always the thoughtful one, he makes us smile...
