Jon Bon Jovi insists his handsome looks have often hindered his career because people are more concerned with his appearance than his music. The star was shocked when female journalists preferred to focus on his body rather than Bon Jovi's breakthrough 1986 album Slippery When Wet.

He says, "It is every kid's dream to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. So a reporter comes, when 'Slippery When Wet' was record of the year, and she's like, 'Take your coat off. Take your shirt off.'

"I said, 'Listen honey, are we here to f**k or talk about the record?' It was heart-breaking. Every kid wants to write that song and make that record, then to have that record and be brought down by a girl who's more concerned with trivia! It was tough."
