Jordan Peele is discussing his transition from acting to filmmaking.
During a “Get Out The Vote” fundraiser event earlier this week, the 41-year-old actor, writer, and director had a very cheeky way of explaining why he left acting to focus on filmmaking.
“I like watching my movies. I can watch the films I direct [but] watching me perform just feels like, it’s a bad kind of masturbatory. It’s masturbation you don’t enjoy,” Jordan explained, via THR. “I feel like I got to do so much and it is a great feeling. When I think about those great moments when you’re basking in something you said that feels funny. When I think about all that, I think I got enough.”
Jordan has found a lot of success outside of acting. At the 2018 Oscars, Jordan‘s directorial debut Get Out was nominated for four awards, including Best Picture. Jordan won the award for Best Original Screenplay for the movie.
He also directed, wrote, and produced the acclaimed horror movie Us, which was released in 2019.
Jordan‘s upcoming movie Candyman – which he wrote and produced – is scheduled to be released on August 27, 2021.
Issa Rae has teamed up with Jordan Peele for a brand new movie with Universal Studios.
Deadline reports that the film, called Sinkhole, is a “thought-provoking genre movie that engages with questions of female perfection and identity.”
Based on Leyna Krow‘s short story, the movie will focus on a young family that moves into its dream home despite the gaping sinkhole in the backyard.
The mysterious sinkhole manages to fix broken and destroyed things. However, the story asks, what if that thing is a person?
Issa is also in talks to not only produce alongside Jordan, but star in the movie as well.
If you missed it, Issa scored an amazing eight Emmy Award nominations. You can see the full list here…
Jordan Peele is showing his support for the black community.
The 41-year-old director and his Monkeypaw Productions company announced on Wednesday (June 10) that they are making a $1 million donation to five organizations that seen as “essential to the health and lives of Black people.”
“We are committed to continue action against a system rooted in the violence against and oppression of the Black community,” Jordan wrote in his statement on Twitter.
The organizations Jordan will be donating to are Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective, Black Lives Matter, Equal Justice Initiative, Fair Fight, and Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project.
If you missed it, Jordan showed his support for this actor after they said their career could be ruined over his participation in the Black Lives Matter protests.
