Jonathan Majors has become one of Hollywood’s busiest actors.
The 32-year-old actor has become an enigma.
He is always working!
However, it seems he is most excited about his hosting gig on “SNL.”
I’m ready to go.
I’m in it, I’m ready.
Yeah, looking forward to collaborating with those guys just continuing the journey."
Majors is much more than his upcoming hosting gig (viaNPR).
The actor was nominated for an Emmy while starring in several huge productions.
You likely know his work but are unaware of his interesting personal life.
While he celebrates his success, he also pays tribute to his roots.
Majors told NME that he struggled with authority growing up.
He didn’t do great in school and had several run-ins with authority figures in his Texas school.
He grew up living in poverty and acting was his saving grace.
He shared, “Acting gave me a release valve,” he says.
“Acting should not feel safe … but there is security … Majors was raised by a single mother who was a preacher (viaNPR).
He shared, “My grandfather used to have the Western Channel on our farm.
Most of the inspiration drawn for Majors' characterization was from his family members, not Wayne or Eastwood.
He continued, “So I knew that horsemanship and African American culture was a part of it.
I mean, I knew it existed.
The way it’s romanticized is something that we haven’t really gotten a chance to experience.
