Lovecraft Country star
Jonathan Majors is a cover boy on the latest issue of Ebony Magazine, and the
photos went viral for... obvious reasons.
Majors just
appeared as Kang in the latest Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania movie
as well as opposite Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan in
the upcoming Creed III film, so he's clearly a hot ticket
right now. He's had a steady rise over the last few years that many would
consider odd for a leading Black man, even appearing as the young gay activist
Ken Jones inWhen We Rise.
"What I’m
trying to do with my work is show nothing is monolith," Majors told Ebony.
"Not Blackness, not maleness, not comic-book villains."
His photos
certainly reflect that, a soft and colorful palette juxtaposed to his
substantial muscles and presence.
But not
everyone loved the shoot, particularly some people who felt like Majors was
being "emasculated."
“Uh…..so I
guess I’m the only one who sees this cover as kinda effeminate???” one comment
read. "What happened to masculine hot straight men. Pathetic," said
another. Another person tweeted, "Sad your rag does this to men. No one
likes it."
That's
certainly not true. We like it! But some folks death grip on heteronormativity
and traditional masculine roles have them determined to be upset about it.
Also, they're clearly forgetting it's Ebony's Valentine's Day issue. And his
stylist Alexander-Julian Gibbson also said Majors' look was inspired by
basketball player Allen Iverson and the anime One Piece,
particularly the character Doflamingo.
Majors
responded to the drama on the Ant-Man red carpet. "It's
always good to make a ruckus."
Some folks are
just determined to have a bad time. We'll turn up the volume on Ebony's
behind-the-scenes footage over their whines.
