He followed his heart and tried his hand at acting as he graduated from the Yale School of Drama with flying results. Also unlike many actors who have been in the industry for decades, Majors has been involved in this field for 5 years or so and had his career boost very recently with movies like Da 5 Bloods and series like Lovecraft Country.
Jonathan Majors’ hard work finally paid off when he was cast for big roles in franchises like Creed and the MCU, especially the MCU as he will be having a long-time contract with them and will also the playing the central role for the upcoming phases. But as fate would have it, the actor was arrested for allegedly abusing his girlfriend.

According to TMZ, it was reported that while traveling back to their apartment in Chelsea, the couple had an altercation as she tried to confront Majors when he was caught chatting with another woman.

“Jonathan Majors is completely innocent and is provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows. We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently”

All the evidence proves that Mr. Majors is entirely innocent and did not assault her whatsoever”
