Jonathan Majors Gets Candid on Meagan Good, Controversy & Starting Over | The Jason Lee Show
What does Jonathan Majors say about the years since Marvel let him go? In his sit-down with Jason Lee, he talks about being dropped from the franchise, about choosing growth over bitterness, and about rebuilding his path one step at a time. The description says the conversation was recorded earlier.
Meagan Good is the other name in the title. Majors speaks about their relationship and the support she gave him while he was under heavy public scrutiny. He also credits Lee for standing by him and giving him a platform when his career was at a turning point. Lee knows that kind of platform well: he built Hollywood Unlocked before taking his interviews to BET.
The video passed 30,000 views in about thirteen hours. A new video on BET's channel usually ends its whole first day at around 4,000. The comments moved even faster: a usual first day brings a handful, and this one already has dozens. Several viewers say they clicked the moment they saw it. Many go back to Lovecraft Country, the HBO series where they first noticed him. Others say he comes across as more eccentric and more soft-spoken than they had imagined. One viewer caught a line he borrowed from Aaliyah's "Try Again."
It is the second Jason Lee Show guest in two weeks to pull far ahead on the channel, after Jasmine Crockett's interview. Clips from Lee's conversation with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, posted in the days before, have stayed at a few thousand views each.
