Personality[]
Films[]
Jonathan is eager to accept Paddington into the family. When Paddington floods the bathroom and rides down the stairs in the bathtub, Jonathan says, "That was amazing." This shows the amount of love he has for him.
He is also shown to love Paddington very much, by showing him his secret steam train. Later yet in Paddington 2017, when Paddington is kept prisoner, he raises awareness by posting Have You Seen This Man (the thief) posters in the shape of Paddington's name on a wall.
In Paddington 2017, Jonathan undergoes a minor identity crisis due to peer pressure. He moves to the secondary school where Judy goes and becomes compelled to change the way he dresses and talks in order to seem 'cool'. He adopts a nickname "J-Dog", to fit in with a group of boys in his year: "G-Man" and friends. At the end of the film, J-Dog drops his J-Dog name and turns it back to Jonathan Brown and embraces his authentic self by driving a steam train.
