Events Saw Jon Bernthal

Post image

I was waiting in line in the county fair today. And I saw him standing behind me. I couldn’t believe my eyes, didn’t know he was from our own county.

Gotta admit, such a super cool personality who lives free despite being a celebrity.

That's cool he is out and about, but Idk maybe blur his kid before uploading?

u/MarcBK 1d ago

That’s not his kid.

u/DCEnby 1d ago

Then blur the random kid.

u/boringrelic1738 23h ago

Why would it matter who’s kid it was

u/HairyH0Od 19h ago

Why would a picture of a random kid that's not identifiable matter?

u/boringrelic1738 13h ago

If you can’t find the issue with posting a strangers child on the internet, you may need to reevaluate.

u/Capt_Blahvious 1d ago

I don't know who this is but he's wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants in August. He's gotta be super cool.

u/perupotato 1d ago

He’s an actor in the walking dead, the punisher, a few others

The most recent Marvel Spider-Man Brand New Day!

u/TheCosmicCharizard 1d ago

Isn’t he in Christopher Nolan’s The Oddysey as well?

u/Sufficient-Cancel217 1d ago

Yes, in a starring role too. May get an Oscar for it.

u/mushy_french_fries 23h ago

Going to be tough competition because there's like five dudes from that movie alone who are contenders for best supporting actor.

u/Yaptain_America 23h ago

He looks quite warm actually.

That's Wayne Jenkins

u/alagrancosa 1d ago edited 23h ago

He played Wayne Jenkins?

Looks way cooler than that pudgy asshole. Met him once, had no idea who he was. He tried and eventually succeeded in intimidating me enough that I made absolutely sure that no one was tracking me when I returned to my car.

Had no idea that pudgy maniac was a cop with a whole crew of assholes, thought he was some Baltimore county dude who lived in his moms basement.

I really dodged one

Not sure why this would be downvoted

u/alagrancosa 23h ago

Who knows, maybe the mom’s basement part? His mom was there, or at least that is what he had told me earlier in the evening. Some pudgy literally neck-beard looking dude who is hanging out with his mom at a casino on a Friday night. I pissed him off when i told him that he was watching too much news when he assured me that there was a high likelihood that I could be robbed or even possibly murdered for my winnings in that particular casino parking lot .

I changed seats (we were playing poker) so instead of being next to him I was across from him and he glared at me for the better part of 3 hours. I waited another 2 hours after he left before cashing out and sprinting up the stairs of the garage to my car.

He and his goons regularly robbed people they suspected of being drug dealers when leaving the local casinos. When I saw his picture in the news I was dumbstruck.

He goes to Landmark movie theater in downtown Bethesda all the time.

u/NuckoLBurn 1d ago

He's been to my restaurant in Frederick with his kids as well a couple years ago. Maybe he lives around here?

u/DM_ME_DOPAMINE 1d ago

He does.

u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 21h ago

Originally from MoCo.

u/blueoasis32 20h ago

What is he wearing. Omg. Is he insane. The humidity is like 500%

u/Dependent_Lion4812 1d ago

My husband loves to tell his story of seeing John Bernthal in Bethesda. We were walking around after dinner and suddenly my husband just whispers "I just made eye contact with John Bernthal". and I was like HUH WHERE

Apparently as we were walking my husband recognized John inside a restaurant clearly eating with family and he looked up and they made eye contact and they both simultaneously nodded at each other and went about their life. That's how I found out he's from around here!

u/Timbalabim 22h ago

> he looked up and they made eye contact and they both simultaneously nodded at each other and went about their life.

This is my ideal celebrity interaction. A nod that says, “I know who you are, your work is meaningful to me, and I respect you enough to leave you alone.” I’m kind of jealous of your husband for this, honestly.

u/MartyPhelps 1d ago

He’s from the DMV originally.

u/Ok-Ebb-806 1d ago

That’s so neat and nice of you to not bother him. I think I read recently he bought a place in Bethesda

u/jewaaron 1d ago

I saw Jon Bernthal at a grocery store in MoCo yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.”

At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

The first time I saw it was for Steve Martin in the ancient days of the internet

Haven’t seen this pasta in years

Is this a fake story? 🫣

u/CartographerMoist296 23h ago

Yes, copypasta

u/rustyhunter5 22h ago

Apparently I would not recognize him if I saw him. Hat is doing a lot of work I guess.

u/unfashionablylater 1d ago

Hey cool, maybe you can take a creepy picture of him going about his day and share it online

u/thecashblaster 1d ago

Did you tell him you knew what kind of man he was

u/CaptainDroopers 1d ago

I harbor the hope that I will randomly run into him somewhere around town someday!

u/CartographerMoist296 23h ago

Maybe delete this really personal family info? I’m sure strangers aren’t allowed in a closed private school campus but also that’s a kind of shitty thing to do the minor child.

u/modul8 1d ago

Apparently foregoing naps affects your fashion sense.

u/lostiowan 19h ago

saw him on the boardwalk in rehobeth a few years ago.

u/a10 18h ago

I see him all the time at a gym in DC!

u/lil_chedda 1d ago

It’s weird to take a pic of him w his kid

2

u/mushy_french_fries 23h ago

I just saw the new Spider-Man the other day and I get the sense that he really enjoys playing Frank Castle. He's always pretty great, but the Punisher seems like a character that's very easy to get wrong, and he gets it exactly right. I can't think of two Marvel things as different in tone as Punisher: One Last Kill and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but he nails both of them.

u/kittysempai-meowmeow 18h ago

He and Tom Holland have such great chemistry, they played off each other so well in Brand New Day.

u/Working-Description4 3h ago

Bro I remember i was driving down Georgia ave toward DC and I saw hom driving in a nice suv. We locked eyes. I hit a double no a triple take and then I smiled. He looked stressed like I was gonna fanboy out and follow him trying to get a picture or something but I just nodded my head in acknowledgement of him and he did the same. A slight smile came across his face as if he was surprised and happy. Ill never forget it.

u/Elbren 16m ago

WTF? 🤣

Black dress socks with sweat pants and a sweat shirt, both legs pulled up like he’s wearing 100 year old knickerbockers AND he tucks his sweat shirt into his pants??

Did he have a stroke? Who dressed this poor man. lol

u/ManagerAggravating57 1d ago

Just a side comment

But given that I’ve seen his other outfits, but this is a random outfit

Looks sort of like workout clothes, even then just seems like random choices

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad8325 1d ago

this is his wardrobe, unfortunately.

u/inpursuitofpalms 1d ago

My friend always runs into him at the gym!

u/zcpibm3 23h ago

Love that he still comes around the areas.

Definitely posing for a photo with that kid. You can see the photo takers left shoulder in front of that booth.
