Michael B. Jordan says he went to therapy after playing Killmonger in 'Black Panther

I like method actors. Good on him.

Tchala was wack and should have died
 
So he ain't say he needed therapy after playing the real life tragic story of Oscar Grant

Or the equally tragic story of Wallace, that's a very realistic fate for young black men all over the country...

You know real life shit niggaz deal with that can get them killed....

He aint need therapy from that....

But being mad at a fake African country that ain't wanna help niggaz during slavery, and killed his pops for trying to be in Kenyatta.....

Naw we can't have niggaz thinking like that... It's A problem for everybody.... But it's cool for them to think like victims

It aint that deep bruh lol. He talking about what he had to go through for the role its self. Those other roles were not as demanding. Calm down @Duwop
 
To be fair... he was like 16-17 when he played Wallace? Not a ā€œgood actorā€ at that time. Just following what the script told him.

I donā€™t think he fully understood the weight of the character of Wallace.

Iā€™m sure he knew on some level the tragedy of it, but it was with teenage eyes. A life he didnā€™t actually live.

Shit I think of the stuff I was doing at 16-24 and cringe... not out of embarrassment, but out of fear. Like damn how did I live through that and live like that and ainā€™t think nothing of it.

Then I start thinking of my own kids being in the situations I was in and I gotta go get a stiff drink.

How you felt about a certain role ain't got shit to do w/ what MBJ did to prepare for a role.

Coulda been his dedication to the role and things he did to get into the role that triggered something else to where he felt like he needed to talk to someone afterwards.

lol/smh at folks clowning this nigga for wanting to look out for his own mental health for whatever reason.

No doubt if it was serious enough that he needed help then he did the right thing. Just more a side chuckle because its Kilmonger, nothing too deep about that character at all.

Michael B def my top 5 fav actors in the game right now tho.
 
We are whatever we think we are and a good actor needs to believe they are the part for it to be great acting. The mental space one would have to engage for long periods of time for some roles I'm surprised more dont have therapy after to shed the thought system they created.
 
imagine all the internet militant niggas he researched in order to mimic them properly. iā€™d seek therapy too
 
What this tells me is this

military minded revolutionary=Needs mind reset, therapy immediately. And make sure no one thinks he thinks like that forreal

Young institutionalized black male who can not leave the hood unless he's killed = he's a threat to no one.... He's fine

Young bright black male who has life ripped from him by racist pigs= not an issue.... They need to be reminded where they stand
 
Gat damn lol

Y'all know people killed themselves or went into mental wards after roles and y'all mad at dude because he went to therapy for this character and not for one you thought he should've?

Tf wrong with y'all..

The killing in the movie I understand but the angst he had for being alone and for his people to be enslaved and capable people not doing anything to deter that damn sure ain't "nastiness"

It took more mental/physical effort to do Kilmonger and Creed then playing a street kid who got popped. Homie literally had to change his body and eating habits.

Jordan's introduction to Grant came through reading filmmaker Ryan Coogler's "Fruitvale Station" screenplay. He cried the first time he read it. He read it a second time and wept again.

"I still have my tear-stained script, tears all over the pages," he says. "Oscar was a human. He was flawed. He made mistakes, but he was trying to make a difference, trying to change, trying to do better. It just seemed like he couldn't catch a break. He was so young, it hurts. It hurts."

That kind of dedication has a downside, as he learned while making "Fruitvale Station." It is a project he is immensely proud of and a role he put his heart and soul into, but the end of the shoot left him grappling with depression as he sought to uncouple Michael B. Jordan from Oscar Grant.

"I felt weird," he recalls. "My mannerisms were different. The way I talked was different. My cadences were different. I needed to be around my family. I went home. I needed to be around things I was familiar with, things I care about, people I care about.

"The reality is I'm going to be living with Oscar for the rest of my life," he adds. "I am him, he is me, to a certain degree. I feel like I know him very well."

have a seat du
 
Naw I'm standing up...

I appreciate the research, cuz at the very least he's consistent.

I can proudly admit when I'm wrong. I ain't gotta sit down. But for those people who try to minimalize guys Oscar Grant role... They can sit down. Cuz that was a powerful performance too
