On a more personal note, Jonathan enjoys sports, playing the guitar and fencing. "I was sitting at the dinner table and I just thought it out of the blue 'cause I had seen it as I was driving past. It's pretty cool..." says Jonathan about how he became interested in fencing, a regal sport which he practices regularly. Jonathan also plays, sings and composes for a band called Scarlet Road, alongside his dad and his brother Richard. Jonathan thinks it's cool to get autographs and other memorabilia of the people he admires.
