Rocker Jon Bon Jovi moans casting agents aren't hiring his 'aspiring' actor son ... trends now
Jon Bon Jovi says his 'aspiring' actor son is not being hired for roles because auditions are taken place over Zoom.
The Livin' On A Prayer rocker bemoaned the modern trend and said casting agents are missing out on witnessing the 'magic' of his 21-year-old Jake Bongiovi son when he walks into a room.
'My son is a young, aspiring actor,' the 62-year-old says.
'He would have that magic when he walked into a room for an audition - but he came up during Covid and now everything is on Zoom.
'All these casting agents are missing out on the personality of the young actor, winning your heart, not just reading your lines.'

The model is making his film debut in this year's Rockbottom in which he channels his father as he takes to the stage in the rock 'n' roll comedy about an '80s hair metal band called CougarSnake who make an unexpected comeback.
In the trailer for the film, which is available to stream on Prime Video from March 28, Bongiovi transforms from a pizza delivery boy into a lead singer for the aging rock band - and is attacked by a bevy of older women on stage.
Bongiovi has also been cast in another movie called Sweethearts and is the third of four kids for Jon Bon Jovi and his high school sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley.
He told Man About Town magazine in 2022 that he was intent on continuing to carve out a career as an actor rather than follow in his father's rock 'n' roll footsteps.
When asked if he fancied a career in music he said: 'I think I'll leave that to my dad! There's really no following the act there.'
He shared: 'There was always music playing in the house growing up, all different types of genres from all different types of worlds. But what spoke to me were the people on the screen, not the voices through the speakers.'
But his acting career is yet to reach the heady heights of his Hollywood star fiancee Millie Bobby Brown's.
The English actress became an internationally recognized child star on the smash hit Stranger Things.
