2022 NAACP Image Awards: 5 Times Jonathan Majors Made Us Swoon
Actor Jonathan Majors rose to fame following his role as the quiet and quirky artist and playwright Montgomery Allen in the independent feature film The Last Black Man in San Francisco. In 2020, he took on the role of Atticus Freeman in the critically acclaimed horror/sci-fi series Lovecraft Country.
The series, despite its success, was ultimately canceled. However, it wasn’t long before Majors would be back on our screens, this time, as the outlaw Nat Love in the NAACP Image Awards nominated motion picture, The Harder They Fall. At this year’s ceremony, the actor will be going up against several talented men in Black Hollywood for the title of “Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture.” However, before we gather to celebrate a night of Black excellence, check out the five times Majors made us swoon.
