    Jon Bon Jovi feels like his story is "still being written"

    The 63-year-old music star doesn't feel the time is right to make a biopic about his life because he still has so much to achieve


    He told Sky News: "The story of me is still being written."

    Despite this, Jon is a huge fan of Deliver Me from Nowhere, the new Bruce Springsteen biopic, in which Jeremy Allen White plays the chart-topping icon.

    Jon is a long-time friend of the Born to Run hitmaker, and he loved watching the movie alongside Springsteen.

    He said: "It's really good. It's at a time in 1982 when I was very much alive and I wrote Runaway that year. I was playing two blocks over from where he was playing with that cover band every Sunday night. In fact, it competed with my playing it, so we would literally close our bar and go because we knew he'd be playing here on Sunday night.

    "I mean, it was, I lived it and watching the movie sitting next to him in the movie theatre, kept punching him. We said it's like a time machine. It's a time machine. Because, you know, there was a part of all of our lives growing up in New Jersey and what he meant to or means to all of us."

    Springsteen was a regular presence on set during the film's shoot, and Jeremy Allen White previously admitted that he understood why he wanted to be so involved with the project.

    The 34-year-old actor told The Hollywood Reporter: "Bruce was a producer on the film, and he and his manager, Jon Landau, who Jeremy Strong plays in the film, were both around quite a bit. They've had this beautiful relationship for so long, and they've been so in control of Bruce's career, of his image, of every aspect of his public life.

    "It makes total sense why these guys would want to be around as much as they were because I think it's the first little bit of control that they've ever given up, to Scott [Cooper], our director, and to me and to everybody. And so I totally understand him wanting to be there."
