Jon Bernthal on "The Odyssey," Fatherhood & Owning His Mistakes | What I’ve Learned | Esquire

from What I've Learned · host Esquire

Jon Bernthal is known for playing tough guys, but some of his biggest lessons came far away from a film set. In this episode of “What I’ve Learned,” the actor sits down with Esquire Editor-in-Chief Michael Sebastian to discuss fatherhood, masculinity, and the moment that changed the direction of his life. From working with Christopher Nolan on “The Odyssey” and reuniting with Tom Holland to reflecting on marriage, friendship, and showing up for the people you love, Bernthal shares why empathy and vulnerability are just as important as strength.Get tickets to “Dog Day Afternoon” on Broadway here: https://dogdayafternoon.com/Check out Jon Bernthal’s Esquire profile here: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/a71271445/jon-bernthal-the-punisher-the-bear-odyssey/#JonBernthal #DogDayAfternoon #TheBear #TheOdyssey #SpiderManBrandNewDay #WhatIveLearned #Esquire
