Jack Johnson shared a scary moment from over the weekend.
The 23-year-old musician was playing darts with friends in his house when a drone flew right the window.
“A drone just flew through our window… trying to play a casual game of darts (in which I was winning of course) and I hear some sort of projectile flying at the screen door,” he wrote on Instagram. “I was focused so I couldn’t turn around quick enough, but I genuinely thought a missile from some poorly executed government test was hitting us.”
“As you can see by the photos I took from the drone still frames, I was calm, cool, and collected under pressure. The @philadelphiaeagles we’re getting their playoff fate sealed at that exact moment, and I was pissed. Barely even flinched though,” Jack continued. “@deejayrupp on the other hand… let’s just say you woulda thought he was a baby deer in the middle of the freeway with a 95’ mustang barreling at him goin 120.”
“I will admit, he did get hit with shrapnel from the drone, so maybe his fright was justified. He decided he won’t be taking legal action, but we do want to let Federico Marzio know that we have your items n you should prolly get drone lessons 🤷ðŸ¼â€â™‚ï¸,” he added.
Jack also shared security footage of the moment the drone went through the window. Check it out below!
Jack & Jack take the cover of Rollacoaster magazine’s Spring/Summer 2019 issue.
The duo opened up about their music, the effects of social media, and being respected in the music industry. Check it out:
Jack G on social media: “I think a lot of people, if they got that influx of followers and subscribers that quickly, would let it get to their head and change as a human. I think having Jack allowed me to keep my head screwed on and vice versa. If either of us started becoming a diva or said something that sounded all ‘Hollywood’, we were like, ‘Man, remember where we’re from. Remember our 18 year friendship and everything we’ve been through. We’re just these normal kids, let’s not act like we’re superstars when we’re not yet, when we’ve not even accomplished anything yet.’â€
Jack G on their music: “The main thing is that we want our music to be played around the world and we want it to inspire people and move people and make people feel things and bring people together. I feel like that’s the whole point of music – to bring people together. Each song also has their own theme in the story that anyone can interpret the way they want and that’s the beauty of music as well. But for us, all we can hope for is that people take it positively and can share it with their friends and family.â€
Jack J on being respected in the music industry: “A lot of the credit goes to our fans, because they were the ones who would stream songs on repeat and people would see that and be like, ‘Oh, these kids are doing this for real!’ We owe all that credit to our fans. It’s amazing what it’s turned into and Jack and I are just really grateful. It’s a blessing, honestly.”
