When asked by Vingt Sept magazine in December 2020 whether he would ever give up life on stage for film work, Jonathan said he would always return to theatre. "It's different for everyone — but for me, I think you get better as an actor on stage," he said. "You get a chance to tell the same story differently every night . . . I thrive on it. Theatre is the only thing that when I can't see it or be a part of it, I go a bit cold turkey."
