A few days before his game Khan the Conqueror Jonathan Majors explores a wide range of themes on the big screen in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania.

The 33-year-old actor had a long talk with Mr. Porter in a new interview where he talked about his past, present and future.

He also talked about his relationship with his nine-year-old daughter Ella, who lives on the farm Majors owns in Atlanta, his upcoming book of poetry, and more.

Myers was born in Lompoc, California and spent part of his childhood at Vandenberg Air Force Base while his father served in the Air Force.

In 2020, he revealed that “Our father, who loved us very much, just disappeared one day … and reappeared 17 years later.”

Relationships: He also talked about his relationship with nine-year-old daughter Ella, who lives on Majors’ farm in Atlanta, his upcoming book of poetry and more.

In an interview, Majors revealed that his father, who abandoned him for years, is still a great source of anger for him.

“I’m still angry. There’s still a little bit of me that has something to prove. To the father who left me, to that acting teacher who told me I wasn’t a f**k, to the rich kids when I was growing up. So many meditations and prayers that I do… No one surpasses…,” he said, adding after a pause: “Or, just to be clear, I haven’t surpassed that.”

After moving to Texas after his father’s departure, he went on to study at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and the Yale School of Drama, graduating with an MFA in 2016.

He landed his first starring role as a young Ken Jones in the 2016 miniseries When We Rise while still at Yale University, leading to roles in 2017’s Hostiles, 2018’s White Boy Rick before his breakthrough in 2019’s The Last Black Man in San Francisco.

“I did a good job of establishing that type of mentorship early on,” he says, referring to a mentorship program he launched in December called the Gotham Sidney Poitier Initiative, named after the late actor, who died last January in aged 94 years.

“I hung his shot head in my dormitory. The way they put the Queen. That’s how I looked at him,” Majors said of Poitier, whose mentorship focuses on helping marginalized groups understand how the entertainment industry, backed by Apple and Google, really works.

He added: “I have the benefit of having many allies. Casey Bloys [CEO of HBO], is an ally. Kevin Feige [president of Marvel] is an ally. John Lesher [producer]… These people took a chance on me. White guys who invested in me as an artist.’

“I get hooked when I look at my contemporaries or those who are coming up. It’s going to be a tough road if we don’t partner with each other,” he added, noting that his last three films were all directed by members of the African diaspora under the age of 40. It’s not an accident, it’s a design. I didn’t give up work… Others just didn’t come to me.”

Just fine: “I’ve been pretty good at establishing that type of mentorship early on,” he says, referring to a mentorship program he launched in December called the Gotham Sidney Poitier Initiative, named after the late actor, who died last January at the age of 94.

He also reveres poetry, adding a mantra his mother made him and his siblings say every day before they left the house, which would make a good title for a book.

“Even if your guys were there. “No alcohol, drugs, sex. No alcohol, no drugs, no sex. No alcohol, no drugs, no sex.” It would be a good title for a book of poetry I’m working on,” said Majors.

About the book of poems, he added: “It will be a collection of 50 poems. Can get a little more. 50 is where we’ll start. They range from high school seniors to this morning at the Ritz-Carlton.”

He passed on his love of poetry to his daughter Ella, adding: “We like to go shopping together, read books. Roald Dahl A Series of Unfortunate Events. I make her learn poems by heart.’

He added that Ella is memorizing Mary Oliver’s poems, stating: “She has a whole chapter about dogs. And my girl has her own dog, a cockapoo.”

Still, for all of his success, Majors doesn’t think he’s quite “made it” yet, adding that he doesn’t even think about it.

“I don’t know what my destination is. This is the mistake of our generation. Many of us go for the long haul when we have to go for the long haul. Get off the field. Just get off the field. And look up. If the ball comes and you catch it…” he said.

“Everything can end tomorrow. Even with all faith, it could end tomorrow. Which makes it that much more beautiful. Every time you look at something… It’s today. Do you understand what I mean? “I got the ball today,” he added.
