Jon Bon Jovi eyes the silver screen for his story, but says the book’s still being written

Jon Bon Jovi’s not even done writing his story, and he’s already thinking about how it’ll look on the big screen.

After seeing Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere with The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White playing the Boss during his dark Nebraska chapter, Bon Jovi told The Sun he’d love to see a biopic of his own life “at some point.”

Can you guess who Jon wants to play him? His son,  actor and model Jake Bongiovi (23) would ideal, although Jon’s not in a rush to make it happen. “I’m not in my final chapter yet,” he said. “I’m living my next chapter.”

That next chapter? Stadiums. Bon Jovi just announced a 2026 run through the UK and Ireland, including four nights at Madison Square Garden, plus stops at Murrayfield, Croke Park, and Wembley! Big shows.

“There’s a lot of joy in this announcement,” Jon said. “Joy that we can share these nights with our amazing fans, and joy that the band can be together again. I’m deeply grateful the fans and my brothers gave me the time to get healthy. I’m ready and excited.”

These shows mark Bon Jovi’s biggest return since vocal cord surgery in 2022.

Last year, the band released their 16th album Forever, celebrating 40 years, along with the Disney+ doc Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.

And now, there’s more: a newly reimagined version of Forever, featuring collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Avril Lavigne, Robbie Williams, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Ryan Tedder, and Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott.

Still not the final chapter for Jon Bon Jovi. But rest assured, the next chapter sounds loud.

Which rockstar would you like to see get a biopic?
