Johnny Messner: Every rose (tattoo) signifies a time in my life I did something really really great for the people I love.
Messner's Vette was a gift from Bruce Willis.
Johnny Messner attended PlayStation's BANDTogether Benefit on 12-10-05 with Bruce Willis and his daughters.
On what he likes about his idol Steve McQueen. Johnny Messner: His subtleties. He acts with his eyes. He's subtle, sexy and he's a real man. We've lost the real man in Hollywood. They're all so pretty. All the guys that were men like Bruce Willis and Harrison Ford are gone. Women want a man. What woman wants to walk around with someone prettier than her? Think about the early Harrison Ford, the early Steve McQueen and the young Sean Connery.
Worked with Val Kilmer in 2004 in the film Spartan. Johnny Messner played the character, Grace. All the cast had to undergo military weapon's training.
His favourite horror films are: The Omen films, The Exorcist, The Shining and the first Halloween.
He played the character of Playboy in Our Time is Up, 2004, a 12 minute short by Rob Pearlstein. The short was nominated for an Academy Award.
He turned to acting after initially planning to be a sportscaster.
Tattoos: On his left shoulder is an American eagle drawn by his brother. On his left forearm is a drawing of a blue eyed Monica Bellucci, which he got while filming Tears of the Sun. On his right shoulder is an image of a 17th Century Angel. The roses below the angel each signifiy 'a time in my life that I did something really really great for the people I love.' He has Chinese characters on right arm and wrist, meaning 'new beginning.' On his inner forearm is Christ on the cross, again designed by his brother. Has 'reality' tattooed on the back of his neck.
He lived in Europe for thirteen years while his father served in the U.S. Air force. Living on base allowed him to develop his love of sports through playing on teams at the military bases.
He starred in Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid.
