Millie Bobby Brown's Hubby Jake Bongiovi: From Wedding Bells to Movie Screens!
Get ready for some major celebrity news, folks! Millie Bobby Brown's hubby, Jake Bongiovi, isn't just rocking wedding bells anymore! He's officially entering the acting world, making a big splash in the trailer for Sweethearts, hitting Max on November 28th. This unexpected announcement is creating a ton of excitement, and demonstrates that this recent marriage has provided several opportunities that would otherwise have not been realized. And frankly, a lot of us love celebrity relationship news, folks!
This movie stars Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men) and Nico Hiraga (Booksmart, The Power) as college freshmen navigating romance back home. Bongiovi plays Kellan, a hilarious hometown buddy. The trailer shows him attempting (and failing miserably) to say "Je t'aime" in French! We get another glimpse showing this actor shirtless while attempting a rather interesting cooking activity involving lighting a turkey on fire. Let's look at exactly why this announcement made major headlines and was reported by so many publications.
Although Bongiovi made his acting debut in Rockbottom earlier this year; his involvement in Sweethearts marks his real entry into the acting world. As he stated in an interview with Flaunt Magazine; this movie really marked that real step and initiation into this very challenging industry and he shows awareness that even he has much to improve upon; demonstrating just how deeply aware of those obstacles within this industry he is; yet not unwilling to overcome all that challenges that his position would certainly involve.
And despite that famous father, singer Jon Bon Jovi; this upcoming actor insists it's all hard work: "Right now, like every other actor, everyone is taking a billion auditions," he explained, "hoping to crack the shell. No matter what level you're on, everyone is walking up the hill." His ambition and work ethic shine brightly here. What's more interesting are the specific goals stated in the same interview! And let's just say those ambitions show a lot of awareness, vision and ambition towards making some significant achievements throughout his future career within this highly demanding field and that these very goals could well make him successful.
And guess what? His dream role is a science fiction drama: "That would be my crème-de-la-crème," he shared. "I just love those kinds of films where you're looking 50 years into the future, which gives you creative input into world-building, but is grounded in the subject matter. That's what makes a great sci-fi film." This perfectly showcases his preferences. Sci-fi drama, folks. The perfect blend of vision and relatability that any movie audience should expect from an engaging production!
Sweethearts is a romantic comedy about two best friends who make a pact to ditch their high-school sweethearts. It’s the brainchild of Jordan Weiss (Dollface creator) in her directorial debut. The trailer shows that chaotic, hilarious Thanksgiving break and has this supporting ensemble which would've made those aspects really enjoyable, as shown through other appearances made within the production itself; the very actors chosen and cast as part of that ensemble highlight why this aspect might succeed beyond reasonable expectations! We can already tell what this is, and just from that brief summary, this should make audiences want to give this one a look! And why not? There is much to gain!
And get this! Shipka is having a HUGE 2024; this is another important detail emphasized to convey her success! With this upcoming movie showing another promising lead for her! This could mean several promising career boosts not only for Bongiovi but for those involved in that production.
It is noteworthy that Jake Bongiovi has that huge advantage, coming into a potentially incredibly successful entry into Hollywood by making use of his previous celebrity relations! We've had plenty of celebrities appearing on TV and movies to achieve an even better rise; leveraging past advantages that could otherwise not have existed otherwise. His big break makes Sweethearts more interesting than a simple rom-com – and we have Millie Bobby Brown's husband potentially bringing massive amounts of excitement into the entire world of cinematic romantic comedies!
