Hi all. Jon here. Yeah, me and Ax are always on Mumsnet. Of course.

I'm always on the religious threads about praying.
Axl is obviously on the gardening threads 😂 😂. Maybe AnonymityAnonymity could give him some advice on his roses 🌹

How are Tommy and Gina these days?

IStillHearTheWaves · 18/07/2026 18:57

Jon! No contest there!

BreadInCaptivity · 18/07/2026 18:57

JBJ without question - he’s also aged well (especially compared to AR).

oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends · 18/07/2026 18:58

George Clooney.

I think hes been with his wife f.since high school?

Yes, he's been 'with' his wife for a very long time.

Along with many, many other women.

He has always been quite open about it. His wife chose to marry him knowing he never had been and never would be faithful.

Jon was better looking, Axel was sexier.

This absolutely

Well that doesnt surprise me he would have had ample opprtunity and women throwing themselves at him.

Oh jon bon Jovi without a doubt have you seen him lately <sigh>😍

HairyToity · 18/07/2026 19:04

JBJ

IcedPurple · 18/07/2026 19:05

Personally, I've never fancied either man, and I'm old enough to remember both in their prime.

However, there's no doubt who is the better looking of the two these days. Axl (not Axel) Rose is overweight and barely recognisable as the hot rockstar of yonderyear. Whereas JBJ looks after himself and still looks like himself. Just older obviously!

champagnedates · 18/07/2026 19:06

I’m in New York and going to see Bon Jovi in a few days. I’ll report back as to whether he is still hot in real life 😜

Happyjoe · 18/07/2026 19:09

Bon Jovi and he's got better looking with age.

OMG Hi! I love your work!!!! 😆 😘

Dearg · 18/07/2026 19:12

Young Axl looks like my first boyfriend in school. I lusted after him for weeks 😍 But it didn’t last. We had nothing to talk about, and snogging in the playground was very frowned upon. Sigh .

MondeoFan · 18/07/2026 19:13

Jon without a doubt

ZanyMaker · 18/07/2026 19:14

Jon - by far!!

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 18/07/2026 19:26

Jon bovi jovi definitely

Cel77 · 18/07/2026 19:35

Jon Bon Jovi. Axel was fine too though.

MySneakyLion · 18/07/2026 19:39

JBJ definitely more handsome. Then and now.

There was a dirty bad boy thing about Axel though …

MadeForThis · 18/07/2026 19:45

Bon jovi.

How are Tommy and Gina these days?

Gina’s still working the diner all day. Tommy wants his six string outta hock, but the union’s still on strike. But they got each other and that’s a lot…

RevengeOfTheDirtyLaundry · 18/07/2026 19:50

Axl.

I"m not quite sure what you mean.

But yes im busy catching up on MN after a quite busy gardening day.

I just feel the last thing guys who already think they are God's gift to women need is a group of sycophants pandering to their egos by debatung how nice looking they are.

One of them is going to be a bit gutted then at coming second.

stepupp · 18/07/2026 19:58

I never thought either of them were very good looking.

Then JBJ cut his hair and the world literally stopped turning.
