Michael B. Jordan has broken his silence on Jonathan Majors’ recent challenges, offering heartfelt support for his friend and Creed III co-star. In a candid interview with GQ, the Black Panther star reflected on Majors’ domestic violence allegations and the tough road he’s faced in the aftermath.
“It’s been a tough situation, no doubt,” Jordan acknowledged, referring to the allegations made by Majors’ former girlfriend. “But he’s doing great and just got engaged. I’m really proud of his strength and resilience through it all, and how he’s handled everything. I’m glad he’s doing well. That’s my boy.”
Majors, a rising Hollywood star celebrated for his roles in Lovecraft Country and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, found himself at the center of controversy in 2023. He was convicted of domestic assault and harassment against his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. While Majors avoided jail time, he was sentenced to a year of domestic violence counseling—a sentence that has since been completed.
Jordan’s words signal an unshaken bond between the two actors, despite the public scrutiny Majors has faced. When asked about the possibility of collaborating with Majors again in the future, Jordan didn’t hesitate: “Yes. Yes.”
A New Chapter for Majors
Despite the legal troubles, Majors continues to push forward in his career and personal life. The actor is gearing up for the release of Magazine Dreams, a highly anticipated film that has already generated buzz for its raw portrayal of ambition and identity.
In the film, Majors stars as Killian Maddox, an aspiring bodybuilder consumed by his relentless drive to achieve greatness. Magazine Dreams dives deep into the complexities of ambition, offering a visceral and thought-provoking cinematic experience.
Briarcliff Entertainment CEO Tom Ortenberg shared his excitement for the film: “Magazine Dreams is a visceral experience that challenges perceptions of ambition and identity. Elijah’s film made a well-deserved impact at Sundance, and we’re thrilled to bring it to audiences nationwide.”
Majors’ performance is already being hailed as one of the most intense and transformative roles of his career. The film promises to showcase the actor’s incredible range and emotional depth, solidifying his status as one of Hollywood’s most compelling talents.
The Road to Redemption
The controversy surrounding Majors has undoubtedly cast a shadow over his career, but his resilience and determination to move forward are clear. With support from friends like Michael B. Jordan and a slate of promising projects on the horizon, Majors appears ready to reclaim his narrative and continue making his mark in Hollywood.
As the conversation surrounding accountability and redemption in the entertainment industry evolves, Majors’ journey serves as a reminder of the complexities of public life. His upcoming work, including Magazine Dreams, will be a critical step in redefining his legacy and proving his enduring talent.
