I have had the good fortune to be his stand in on 5 movies and his photo double on 4 of those movies. He's as talented, funny, nice, down to earth, and humble as you could hope for.

[alpenglow]

He has really proven himself as a director.

Baby, he's so money. And he doesn't even know it.

Hey, pete from friends is doing well for himself after he got that silly cage fighting idea out of his system

JF is a genius.

I always think of Jon as Gutter from PCU

I loved the hat I think might’ve been his directorial debut Made. He started in it too. I’m kinda surprised he’s gone super hero big budget movies but good on him. He’s talented, he works hard and he’s directed some brilliant films. 😊

He’s growns up and he’s growns up and he’s growns up.

[Orleans]

Sure has come a long way since, Swingers.

According to IMDb, Jon turned down Christmas flop Surviving Christmas to do Elf. If that's true, good call, Jon.

[brodemonz]

He'll always be Gutter to me. Can you blow me where the pampers is?

[EshockT]
