There are a few things Jon Bernthal can't live without. From the dog tags he got as a Walking Dead wrap-gift and his actual dog Bam Bam to some Dubble Bubble gum and a grapefruit, these are Jon's ten essentials.

i didn't expect him to be this energetic n full of that positive energy
That’s good and all but what did you expect?? Him to just grimace the whole time?
Yeah he is a very cool, kind and down to earth guy
Watch his hot ones!!

jon bernthal is one of the most humble and kind people ever, and all his success is well earned for sure. such a kind dude.
And he won't be afraid to put you in your place. A badass dude indeed

@@intisarmehbubkhanramim7650Stop being a bitter ,son
if you focus on the the details this guy is literally made for the punisher, how he values his daughter and best friend is like a build up to his punisher character.
Plus how he loves his dog and the fact that he saves and takes in a dog in Daredevil
Imagine his real family dies and becomes the punisher irl
@@uqutz girl????
And his affinity for combat boots lol
@@uqutz 😬
He seems so thoughtful and sweet and emotionally intelligent and it's actually criminal how he's not a bigger actor in Hollywood.
I think he's about as big as he wants to be
He plays the heel. Even punisher he was a bad guy
because of the qualities you listed he is probably not as easily manipulated by hollywood, hence giving him less opportunity.
He may be intimidating as the Punisher, but in real life he’s really chill. I wish I hung out with him.
Hollywood doesn't deserve him
I respect Jon for considering his wife, child, bodyguard and dog as essential to his life. Bam Bam probably thinking, “I’m the real star.”
How tf can you not love this dude man, for real
I cant🤨💀🤖🤌👀🥶😬
I LOVE that he basically only have things of sentimental value. Says a lot about him and his character, what he truly values in life.
And gum. ;P
Lies again? Year Of Dog Born 1982
Yea juat like the dubblw bubble
the way he didn’t stop looking at his wife’s picture while talking about her...what a lucky woman 😭
i swear
for real 😭
And his parents?
I’ve run into him once at a TIFF event I was working at and he was by far the most professional and made all the time in the world for the people that wanted to meet him - he stood out to me amongst all his peers as being a genuine person. A friend of mine who’s in a known band ran into him the same night at a party, they were having drinks etc and concurred that he was an awesome person to meet; no ego about him at all.
Omg what band??
@@KingKsEDC a known one
Used to play basketball with him down in Venice Beach. His jump shot be broke.
He is one of the few people on this series that actually did not bring something they were trying to sell. I randomly watched a few of these and researched some of the more suspicious items and its just hilarious to me how many people brought something they are active spokespeople for... The dude picked a dog and a person... What is not to love.
No jewelry, rare food, car keys, just a guy with things/beings that have helped him or shaped him into who he is today. Jon Bernthal is truly an aspirational man
And gum.
I was thinking the same. No BS luxuries, just real stuff.
That's pretty much why I mostly avoided this series. I don't care about being reminded over and over again that celebrities are rich and can get everything they want. Something introspective like this is much more interesting and says more about who they actually are.
He's wearing a $10,000 Panerai watch, if I'm not mistaken.
@GinoBikes he’s got some nice cars too. So what.
Arguably one of the only few GQ 10 Essentials that are truly essential to the person. I love this episode, it's beyond genuine. And Jon is goated.
He deserves all the success! The way he talks about his dad, wife, his security person, and his dog. It's just genuine.
Do you really think it feels genuine? This is the least genuine one I've seen so far.
@@sp-uf6tx genuinely curious but why? Its just some things close to him or small things he enjoys, not sure what wouldnt be genuine about it.
Facts
So crazy how well he is at playing the "bad guy" when in reality he is such a humble man of substance and pure love
Bam Bam's lil smileeeeeee I CRY
the way he talks about his wife, daughter and Lauren..... yeah couldn't love him more, hopefully one day I'll find sb like him
Everybody wishes a significant other like this
You will
I'm right here
girl same, he's the perfect man
Never
Jon is Frank Castle if he was a nice, balanced and kind human being
Jon is Frank Castle if his family did not die
So if his family wasn't brutally murdered? 🤣

No He’s Shane ..🧟♂️
This guy was why TWD was so successful at the beginning, his energy and what he brought to the character completed the start of the WD
This guy's come a long way since The Walking Dead, and he deserves it. I've yet to seen an actor as versatile as Jon Bernthal in this current generation; and he's absolutely incredible.
having a woman as a bodyguard is extremely impressive and rare. He has a lot of trust in her as shown, she must be very good at her job, very cool.
Female trainer,female head of security... She kinda looks like Ronda Rousey when she smiles.
seems really nice hopefully nobody tries to kill him though because lets be real. There is nothing she could do to stop a 200lb plus man besides shoot him. Im sure she would agree
Maybe he's not worried about defending himself against a guy, but doesn't want to lay hands on a woman and that's what she's there for? Either way respect to him for giving props in general.
@@MultiTravellingman my man doesnt need to defend his masculinity, he knows what hes about :D
Plus she's HUGE
Jon is the definition of Positive Masculinity! He is such a good guy, happy, humble and grateful!
Jon Bernthal and Nick Offerman are the types of guys that every boy or man should strive to imitate
@@EngagingPsyco why not just be original?
kzhead.info/sun/i6utpNhsrXR4Y6s/bejne.html
@@thebaneofyourexistence.3377 I say go for both. Be yourself, but nothing wrong with being inspired by others or having rolemodels 👍🏼
You make masculinity seem like a negative by default. I mean, i don't see why what he's like is masculine in the first place. Anyone could be like him.
Love this guy and how down to earth he truly seems to be. The dog and the female body guard just sealed it
This energy of his just got me through the screen. Never expected him to be this way. Absolutely loved it. And how he talks about his wife and daughter. A Happy man right there
This is the most wholesome essentials episode nothing preposterous just somewhere comfortable to stand on, really basic things and what/who is important to oneself. Even the best of us can be simple and humble
Exactly my thoughts!
While I agree on this, have you seen Roman Reigns, video?
So cringe....he's wearing a $10,000 dollar panarei hand-built luxury Italian wristwatch....."simple and humble" more like you're simple and stupid. 😐
00:18 "...little stint on Walking Dead...". Bernthal was literally one of the most intense, driving-force characters in that series! Those early moments in the first season were fantastic, full of energy and completely, utterly necessary TV.
lemme tell you sumn
“Ya kno what, you’re right Rick, that is enough” he was awesome as Shane
This series overstretched to much. Was very good at the beginning, then it got slow and boring. I stopped at 8 season or something like that, abandoned.
It went downhill once he left. season 3 was a snoozer
i still have never watched that show but I am a big fan of Jon
OK, this guy is actually the nicest example of what any human being should aspire to be. Just his positivity, the way he looks at his wife's photo while he's talking about her, his love for dogs (and specifically bullies, which have been widely villainified for the wrong reasons), the amazing story behind the reason he chose that lady as his head of security, the fact that everyone who's met him has only good things to say about him... I know he's never going to read this, but Mr Bernthal, i only wish the best for you and those around you. You sir are a jewel to this society.
great message
It’s interesting that none of his favorite things are surprising. You really get a sense of the kind of person he is. Nothing ostentatious, very down-to-earth. 🙂
The way I see it, he's basically alternative real life version of Frank Castle that never lost his family and lived happily ever after. He's such a nice, humble man. If all men had such a healthy character as Jon, the world would be a better place.
Fax u a genius for saying that
@jakub port well we all would know what happened if it was switch around…
Wasn’t dude still a killing machine with ptsd before his whole family got killed
🤯
Jon's an icon of positive masculinity. I love that he appreciates what he has, and really appreciates the women in his life. He seems like a great guy. Also, that dog is stupid levels of cute.
the only thing is he eats grapefruit 😦 but i think the dog makes up plenty for poor fruit taste lol
I agree! Positive masculinity is a great way to put it and a wonderful way to describe it.
Imagine someone kills Jon‘s dog….
I love that he admits that his publicist said don’t do the combat boots. As someone that may have found that odd and weird, him saying that fixes it. Treasure this guy.
I love this guy. Not only is he incredibly talented, but every interview I have ever seen shows him to be a truly great person.
Most people that I’ve watched pick materialistic designer stuff, he picks things that are close to his heart and that’s so loving of him
He's wearing a ten grand custom built Italian watch...,about as materialistic and as designer as you can get. 😂😂😂 oh and a nice jumper that was over 100 bucks....oh and he's Been to a professional stylist and professional dog groomer.....how humble and loving of him....😂😂😂😂
Where did he ever mention that his watch and hair designer and dog groomer are essential items. I must of missed it maybe you should add timestamps for when he talks about each of them.
@@IllusorySpectre You realise actors like him have publicists right. ? Millionaires waxing lyrically about a ten grand watch loses fans, just because he doesn't talk about it in the video doesn't mean he's suddenly a humble loving individual still in touch with his roots like the rest of us. You must be stupid if this is how your process information kiddo. 😉 Perhaps I could provide a time stamp that matches your current IQ level. ? 🤔
@@heresjohnny602 your life must be amazing with the amount of hate you carry in it!
@@heresjohnny602 this is you: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the fact he carries his old dog's ashes in his rearview to never forget and carry on the legacy of what they shared. That's so thoughtful.
Most of this stuff is priceless. This has got to be one of the most humble, down to earth humans ever
That dogs look of happiness is awesome. That grin on his face while Jon pets him!
Humble and he lifts up the women in his life … priceless And an animal lover…, says a lot about him
@gi i think how they treat the animals around them would be the better judgment of their characters, whether or not they have the patience and compassion to take care of another living being, that essentially have nothing to give back except their love.
He has an animal thats notorious for killing animals. Not an animal lover, hes obsessed with looking tough
@@highwaymaker9022 pls stfu, u obviously have no idea what ur talking about
@gi sure but alot don't. Alot of people with psychopathic tendencies don't love animals at all. And I assume dictators, assassins and ect would have those issues.
@@highwaymaker9022 alot of that breed is raised to do that. This guy has had several pits with no stories of them killing or hurting another individual so why assume he doesn't like animals.
He’s the definition of what a real man is to his family friends, and relatives. You can sense lots of great things on his character just by his essential.
He's such a talented actor. He was great in the walking dead and even better in The Punisher
Love this man for his sensibility. So humble in his talk and approach towards life. A genuine guy. Waiting to watch him in his new role in American Gigolo.
This is the most real essentials list I've yet to witness. Well done, Jon! You have a firm grasp on the truly important things in life.
@LeoS mf just let the guy express himself mfs who say that word are the more of it themselves by even saying it so stfu
@LeoS too corny 😂
I’have seen some great episodes, this is a special one for sure
Watch Alex honnolds video

I never realised that he was doing a fake voice as Frank Castle. He sounds way different, and that's awesome!

@@SendiSiradj just a jk

First one of these I have watched where it’s clear these are things the person values and have actual meaning. Dude is hands down one of my favourite actors.
You said” I became the man and the artist I always wanted to be” I love that bruh, we need more brothers like you around
Man this guy has his whole life sorted out, he’s disciplined and very very practical!!! This is how human beings were meant to be!!
Amen brotha facts 💯
So Beautiful and Perfect

He seems girly and feminine imo
@@DrVonNostrand yeah the combat boots, pit bull, and truck ornaments scream femininity.
@@DrVonNostrand 1 how? 2 even if he was, explain how that's a bad thing

What an amazing man- literally the most humble actor I’ve ever seen. It makes the other “essential” items profiles of other people just shameful. Best dude ever!’
One of the greatest actors of our time. He just fills every role with so much power.
The punisher show was HELLA good ong
@@datmaynetito7173 You and I are friends now 🤝
Yup, I've seen him in over 10 movies/tv shows and he nailed every role he was in.. Since punisher was the first one (that I remembered him by atleast), it's kinda hard not to always partly look at him that way but hey atleast it's a badass role
The way he ate that grapefruit was so chaotic I love it
Jon is a super kind and humble dude
this dude seems so sincere & kind
he's such a sweet person. i'm so happy when this kind of people get successful
Massive respect for the security shout out. They deserve more recognition for their efforts
Yeah I was thinking the same thing
BEST essential list EVER. Full of heart and you can see his solid values. Great guy!
This is far the best ever .I didn’t know anything about John before but what an incredible person .People in his life are so happy and lucky to be a part of him ❤️🇦🇺
A bunch of people do this and it's all Rolexes and AirPod Maxs. Jon Berenthal rolls in with 5 simple essentials and 5 human or other emotional connections. This man understands the meaning of the word "essential" - amazing.
Airpods seem pretty valid to me if you love music
So beautiful and refreshing to see such meaningful "Essentials". Kudos Jon, kudos!
LemmeTellYouSomethin
Saul this?
John is a well grounded human being. He hasn't let himself be ruined by celebrity. I respect a man who loves his pets. Cheers!
This is arguably the most essential GQ essentials video EVER. This guy just showed you that to be a man, you don’t need a fancy watch, bag, headphones, clothes: the essentials in life are precious memories and the good people around you, everything he showed off was just mementos that remind him of that 👏👏
amen to this. I know that GQ's bread and butter is advertising and celebs advertising tacky items is good for their brand as well. But Jon's list is the textbook definition of what is essential in life: the people you love and the memories of the people who surround you, inspire you and love you. Plus I'm a huge dog guy so yeah this is the entire package.
He's wearing a ten thousand dollar hand built Italian watch you like begging fool. 😂
And yet he is wearing a very expensive watch.
@@CoreyHague weird repeating the same comment I made twenty hours ago. 🙃
@@ds37 😂😂😂 multi millionaire Rare fish Rare cars Expensive watches Expensive dog breed Large house Stylists I threw up reading the idealistic crap you wrote...."the people you love and the memories of the people who surround you....because grapefruit really expressed the importance of loving others. 😬😴
This guy needs more roles. He's one of my fav actors right now.
Yeah, hes a great actor. Loved him since he played brad. Yo ma, do we have some chicken or what?!
There was the flashes of him in the series The Bear and I just wanted more.
We need a Punisher movie
Me too. I'm so excited when I see him in even the smallest roles. He was terrific in that Sandra Bullock movie where she gets out of jail after having been put away for murder. He certainly seems to be working all the time.
hey guys don't forget the game he took part in gohst recon
Amazes me this kind, polite and friendly dude can play the Punisher with such pure savagery and intensity. What an actor man.
i always felt soo good about Jon on his movies, even when he plays a bad guy character i feel like he still has that wholesome and pureness in him. and seeing this episode i realize now why. what an incredible man he is!
Can we just appreciate. One his daughter is his world Two loved his wife and is his best friend Three his trainer is a woman Four head of security is a woman He is very much a man, man. But not afraid to give love, and appreciation to the women in his life👏👏
I like Jon.....but that's a baseline to be expected.
Why does it matter if his trainer or his security is a woman?? Yall like to base things on the $3x of a person n thats sad.
@@dollalalalalotsagaming.8276 because she’s sexist
Then his family got caught in middle of gang shootout and he went mad and murdering criminal and get nicknamed The Punisher
Having a woman as security doesn’t mean anything😂🤦🏽♂️
I love how most of his essential items are things you can’t purchase with money. So much sentimental value and meaning. Love Jon so much, humble, kind, deserves all the success 🙌🏾
Had a smile on my face the entire video, happy for Jon, I admire him more after I listened in JRE podcast, dude went through tough experiences.
This positivity is exactly what I needed for a Sunday evening. How can you not like this guy. Best 10 essentials yet 🙌
"it doesn't last that long but good things don't always last forever". that is the most profound thing anyone has ever said about bubblegum in the entire history of the human race
Lmao that's a brilliant take
Combat boots... YES, HE IS THE PUNISHER!
Nah he is SHANE WALSH “M’ask you sumthin”
Good actor. Quite often in gritty films and generally he doesn’t disappoint. Love this video.
What a class act and great man. Humble, expert at his craft, loyal and humble.
i love how most his essentials are tied to people and his dogs. so not even about the things themselves but the memories connected to them, i appreciate that
He's full of life. Energetic. Frugal. Humourous.
Man he seems like a genuine dude
He sounds so authentic it brings me to tears, because he talks with purpose and emotion
Man I loved this one, you can tell he really put thought into each of his items he showed. It’s cool to see some of the fancy stuff other celebs use, but so refreshing to just hear about Jon Bernthal’s stories of why it’s considered essential to him
Met him in 2013. He was so nice to me and my brothers. Just an incredibly kind guy and a phenomenal actor.
He represented everything that should matter. No cars, no watches, no jewellery. Just beautiful people and dogs for a happy life.
Jon Bernthal is the most down to earth actors I have ever seen in interviews. He is so fricken humble! I wish he was my friend! Totally awesome guy. Stuff that he carries keeps him grounded!
So refreshing to see these essentials being not about flashy clothes or luxury items, but rather about memories, emotions and people.
🎯
I miss him so much as Frank Castle. He is a great actor and seems like a great person to be around.

Bro. He started a Podcast called the "Real ones" About people he met and that he likes. Very cool. But he is more of a listener/interviewer in those, very thoughtful and very good host. The people he has on the podcast are very interesting people too.
I'm genuinely surprised he wasn't in the military. He exemplifies simple but strong values and shows it on screen so well
I had the same thought I’m really surprised I guess it shows you can still be a tough guy with out serving in the military
My heart melted with the "chill dude, were almost done dude" ♥️
Jon bernthal is just unreal. A good actor. Also a good family man. The way he just talks about his wife and the people/things around him just gave me a good feeling to my chest. Even tho I’m toxic to myself and the bridges I’ve burned that I caused. This man is an eye opener. This jon, pinnacle to its finest.
It's crazy that his natural speaking is different than most of his movies. I didn't realize that. Very subtle and powerful change.
Can we please, please, PLEASE let this man have another season as The Punisher - that's all I ask for.
Ask Disney
Who is this nice guy? Im new to Jon Bernthal as an actor. just recently started watching The Punisher because i just finished DD. Crazy to see how genuine, nice, soft spoken and just how he is as a human. this is awesome
Punisher it’s crazy good such shame they canceled 🥲 he is the most wholesome and soft human specially compared to his roles 😹 u should check his podcast
@@Anhell2111 Will do
Bernthal and Grillo are two of my favorite actors. They're both humble and a man's man.
Bam Bam the dog is fantastic in my book! But Jon's love first for his daughter then his wife are obviously the best parts of this interview!!!!
He’s very sentimental and fiercely loyal to his loved ones and very masculine at the same time.
Hearing John Bernthal being enthusiastic and happy is a little weird after only seeing him play angry, psychotic, brutal characters. When he's not acting he seems like such a wholesome guy.
Love this guy. Owes my hometown for his acting success. Such an underrated actor
It's weird seeing him so full of enthusiasm and being unable to sit in one place as compared to his performance as Frank Castle. I'm so pleasantly surprised. This guy seems to be super cool
