Jack & Jack‘s Jack Johnson has revealed who his biggest inspiration is – Jerry from the cartoon Tom & Jerry!
The 21-year-old musician shared a post on Instagram as to why he looks up to the animated character.

Jack & Jack are twinning for the November issue of Prune magazine.
The duo – Jack Johnson and Jack Gilinsky – talked about crazy fan stories, their music, tour, and fashion.
“A girl ran on to the bus one time, but our security threw her off,” Jack G shared about one fan on tour.
“I was on stage in Chile and I had ripped jeans on,” Jack J said. “I went up to the barricade and lost an entire jean leg off my jeans because a girl grabbed it and ripped the entire thing off. I had a flappy weird capris jean thing on the rest of the show. It was crazy to me. But also, one time down in Brazil our bus started rocking back and forth because the fans were really rowdy and shaking it. It was actually pretty scary.”
Jack & Jack‘s brand new video for “Beg” is here and it might make you really, really dizzy.
Speaking with Prune magazine, Jack Gilinsky shared of the track that “it’s a new sound for us and has more of a mainstream appeal than a lot of our older songs. It’s even different from our more R&B based stuff like we have on our EP GONE that came out earlier this year.
Jack Johnson added, “It’s also the right tempo and sound for radio. We’re not saying that it has to be specific sound for radio, but the hook is really catchy. People we know were telling us that it was catchy from before we officially released it and we saw that as a good sign..”

While the pop-rap duo always used Jack & Jack on Vine, they decided to change their name when they started to create music to be taken more seriously.
So when they dropped their first song, they originally used the name Indoor Recess but it ended up really confusing fans!
“They had no idea what the song was called, or what we were called! So, eventually we just ended up changing it from ‘Chill Pad Deluxe – Indoor Recess‘ to ‘Indoor Recess – Jack & Jack.’ And the song is now called ‘Indoor Recess,’ even though that’s supposed to be the group name,” the guys told TigerBeat.
