allaaronpaul: “JJ is a lost kid just struggling to find purpose in life,” says Aaron Paul. "He’s constantly trying to find new ways of being happy, but he’s struggling to do that, and that’s why you meet him on that rooftop.“ In A Long Way Down, JJ is a failed American musician living in London, whose rock-star dreams have fizzled out and who’s ended up delivering pizzas to make ends meet. Honrby’s novel spells out that JJ arrived in the UK chasing after a girl, and ended up in a heartbreak hotel as well as his own emotional dead-end."He’s in a dark place when we meet him,” says Paul. "He’s tired of being scared all the time; he’s tired of trying to change and not really knowing how to do that. He sees suicide as a way out, which it never should be.“Read more about Aaron Paul as JJ in A Long Way Down. -- source link
