Jonathan Majors reveals the advice his mother gave him
From his first independent film in 2019 to play one of the main villains in MCU, Majors is leaving a trailer for his successful career. He is presently part of two blockbuster franchises, including Creed and MCU franchise. The actor has left his fans wondering with a peculiar habit, as he is seen carrying a cup with him everywhere.
In the interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he revealed the reason behind carrying the cup with him. Majors said,
“I’ve been doing it since I left my mother’s house when I was around 18.”
He told in the show that he has four cups that he alternates between. Majors shared that his mother offered him great advice in his childhood that he follows diligently, even after he found success in the industry.
He shared,
“She was so terrified of the circus that I’ve joined. My mum’s a pastor, and she was very clear about safety. She would say, ‘No drinking, no drugs, no s-x’ every time I left the house.”
“The drinking was a thing, and she’d always say, ‘So baby, watch your cup. Watch your glass.’ And I kept that in mind.”
The Last Black Man in San Francisco actor explained,
“It means mind your cup. You’re a vessel. Nobody can fill you up. Nobody can pour you out. You do that yourself. Holding onto this cup is a reminder that even in this craziness that’s happening, my self-esteem is my self-esteem. No one can big me up as it were or tear me down.”
The actor has been spotted with the cup at various events, and his film premieres.
