Having two of the sporting world’s biggest
names in the one photographic studio
creates an energy that’s hard to put your
finger on. Foxtel faces Jonathan Brown
and Matty Johns (pictured from left) are
articulate, passionate and knowledgeable
- and they could talk underwater about the
subjects that interest them! Little wonder
they have such followings on the AFL
and NRL companion shows they front.
Alongside the sports chatter, there
are tales of karaoke gone wrong and
big nights out that won’t make it to print
- invariably involving Johns, who also
puts forward his idea for a new show.
He’s pitched it to company bigwigs to
an understandably lukewarm reception.
“You take someone to their favourite
pub and the interview starts at eight beers
in,” Johns reveals of his proposal.
Brown, though, can see the merit in
the concept. “I’d like to see Mike Sheahan
interviewing his guests on Open Mike
eight beers in,” he laughs. “That would
be worth watching. Maybe interviewing
Warwick Capper.” You heard it here first!
