He's been blessed with the "gift of gab" as his loving mother puts it. John has never been afraid to speak in public. This has been a big help in his chosen path in life.

(They sent John a request, thinking it was a joke, John replied with a ridiculous reply and the Chippendales loved it. When they offered him the job, John didn't have the heart to say no)
