As anticipation builds for the release of Magazine Dreams, Jonathan Majors is at the center of a heated discussion about his future in Hollywood. Following a lengthy delay, many industry insiders and celebrities are hopeful that the acclaimed actor will successfully navigate his way back into the spotlight.
In a detailed profile featured in The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan Majors speaks out for the first time since being sentenced to a “batterers intervention program” as part of a conviction related to a domestic violence case involving his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. In the article, several of Majors’ former co-stars express their support for him during this challenging time.
Whoopi Goldberg, a veteran actress who has collaborated with both Majors and his fiancée, Meagan Good, shared her perspective in the interview. “You don’t get to say sorry these days,” she remarked, emphasizing that Majors has taken the necessary steps following his legal troubles. “He was arrested. He went to court. He did what he was supposed to do. I’m not sure what else there is,” she added, indicating a belief in the actor's potential for redemption.
Michael B. Jordan, who co-starred with Majors in Creed III and directed the film, also voiced his support. In an email to The Hollywood Reporter, he expressed a strong desire to continue working with Majors, stating, “I would love to make Creed IV together — among other projects.” This sentiment highlights the loyalty and camaraderie that exists among actors in the industry, even amid personal controversies.
Matthew McConaughey, who starred alongside Majors in White Boy Rick, echoed similar sentiments. “I’ve known and know him as someone who is continuously striving to improve as a human, a man and an actor,” McConaughey wrote. “I believe in him,” he added, further reinforcing the notion that Majors has the potential to redeem himself in the eyes of the public and industry.
Despite the support from his peers, Majors’ legal troubles remain a significant factor in his career trajectory. He pleaded not guilty to the charges involving Jabbari, whose legal team did not respond to requests for comment from The Hollywood Reporter. After his conviction, Jabbari also filed a civil lawsuit against him, which was ultimately dropped in November 2024. This settlement likely imposes restrictions on what both parties can disclose regarding the domestic violence case.
Majors, who has consistently denied ever hitting a woman, has stated that he is unable to comment directly on the allegations made against him. As he prepares for the release of Magazine Dreams, the question remains whether the support from his friends and colleagues will help bolster his reputation and facilitate a successful return to Hollywood.
