PREVIOUSLY...
johnny was born into reality tv royalty. the only son of the kennedy family (not to be confused with the political dynasty), johnny was practically birthed in the spotlight. (basically very much like the kardashians)
his mother being a famous fashion model and his father being a star former football player, their whirlwind romance was a headline maker in the 90′s and once they started having children, a reality tv series was practically handed to them.
the family immediately sky-rocketed into household names across the world. he and his five sisters have had their entire lives on tv and johnny grew up in front of camera lenses.
while his sisters all grew up and started their own businesses and lives, johnny was always the black sheep of the family. often making headlines with his debaucheries.
johnny never had any drive or direction. sure, he starred in a fashion campaign here and there, made guest appearances on talk shows and was known for his quick wit, his sense of humor and his pranks on the family’s tv show, but other than being a hollywood party boy, he never had a career of his own.
his mother was the mastermind behind him becoming an actor. he started his career in acting at 21, starring in a bridgerton-esque series as the romantic lead and immediately, he was catapulted into hollywood heartthrob status.
he starred in a plethora of teen romance movies on netflix and other streaming platforms and has slowly but surely has been starting to enjoy this career that he has been forced into.
however, he has yet to land a ‘serious’ role. he now aspires to be the next brad pitt or leonardo dicaprio but with his mother as his manager, it doesn’t seem like that will be possible. also, he has never been taken seriously coming from a reality tv family, despite the fact that the family is incredibly well respected in hollywood.
when the chance to audition for two bush mountain arose, johnny immediately wanted to turn it down. however, his mother and agents told him he’d be crazy to not take it and forced him into the role.
although he’s sick of playing teenagers, he does enjoy the attention it brings him and very much enjoys having people fawning over him.
he’s still very much a party boy and can be spotted leaving prominent night clubs across l.a with a model on his arm on any day of the week.
he’s a known heartbreaker and womanizer and always has a new flavor of the month. after watching his sister’s have such public and tumultuous relationships, the idea of ‘commitment’ just seems like a joke to him. however, he will indulge in a longer relationship if his mother and management need him to for the cameras - whether it’s to coverup something bad he or one of his sisters’ did or for a plot for the reality show that he still stars on, as well.
he’s known to indulge in drugs and alcohol and doesn’t try to hide his partying ways, though he does very much hide how much of a hold it has over him.
he’s incapable of slowing down. he feels like if he does, the reality of what a joke he is will settle in and he’ll just spiral. he hides his insecurities and disappointment in himself behind his cocky smile and debonair ways.
PRESENT DAY...
after almost being a baby daddy, leaving his family’s reality show, and leaving two bush mountain, johnny was trying to become a serious actor.
however, his acting coach told him that he was shallow, self absorbed and needed to do some soul searching if he really wanted to tap into that. so, he went on a months long trip across the globe - meditating in Buddhist temples in thailand, doing charity work in africa, exploring rainforests and jungles and villages and becoming ‘one with the people.’ and it truly humbled him.
it made him realize that life was more about fame. it was more than the rich, insane lifestyle he was born into and he became determined to make things right with those he’s wronged and to be less of a dick and to more importantly, create work that would inspire generations to come.
he got recast on rumor women in the role of nick adams due to his role on two bush mountain being filled in his absence and now he’s back in hollywood, trying to do right, although old habits do die hard and he’s still a relentless flirt and a party boy, only this time he’s much less of an asshole while doing so.
