"It's quite unmasculine to try to emasculate another man." -Jonathan Majors, 2023.

I love when describing masculinity, he said strength but then followed it with vulnerability rather than saying weakness. Many men view vulnerability as weakness when the two are very different. I loved that little glimpse into his mindset.

He is very principled. His principles are basic- comprehendible. However, he has so many colleagues that could be in this for the wrong reason, so his principle (and obviously being superiorly talented) makes him stand out. We're really watching one of the greatest actors of our time leave his mark. We love to see it.

I could truly and sit down and talk to Jonathan all day and would not lose interest, such humility, such restraint, so articulate, so inspiring and a man that could truly hang with my level of intellect . Communication is very key and not only in how your words are received when they are spoken but the control of your words with wisdom, so that you are able to listen without becoming defensive then responding without being offensive. No matter the negativity that one may say about him, his very response to negativity, says a lot about him, this is my favorite actor, hands down
