Jordan’s inspiring career has also won him a loyal fan following who look up to the actor for inspiration and motivation.

“What’s at stake for me it’s, you know, my family, all the dreams that I had in my head that I want to see manifest. I want to leave a mark on this world, I want to do things that’s gonna last longer than my physical body will,” he added. In the video, Jordan also talks about using his work to “leave this world in a better place than it was when you came in.”

The Black Panther star further talks about the rough journey of working hard on yourself by saying that people “don’t see the time you put in by yourself, they don’t see the the lonely journey, they don’t see the moments where you’re sleeping in your car as long as you stay up all night and you’re studying these lines rehearsing, you know, and then you go into audition, you don’t get it but somehow, you still have faith and believe that you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing.”
