?His Character as a Man Is One That Is Unbridled?: Emmy Nominated Actor Reveals His Excitement at the Prospect of Playing 5x NBA Champion Dennis Rodman in Upcoming Project

Jonathan Majors recently talked about his role as the NBA legend Dennis Rodman in an upcoming production. In late September 2022, it was announced that the Emmy-nominated actor will be portraying the former Chicago Bulls player. The movie is based on Rodman’s mid-season trip to Las Vegas and is named ’48 hours in Vegas’. Variety caught up with Majors at an event and asked him about Lionsgate’s upcoming project. Majors replied that he is looking forward to working on perfecting the character with Rodman’s help.

The news about the upcoming project was released in August 2022, and will be produced by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Aditya Sood. Additionally, Rodman will be the executive producer of the movie.

?His character as a man is one that is unbridled,? said Majors. Furthermore, Majors revealed that he loves exploring roles without thinking about the consequences.

Majors added, “He?s eclectic. He?s an open mind. He?s an open heart. And, selfishly, you want to play a role like that, because it?s gonna push you to that place. Jesse Brown teaches me things about my soul and spirit. I know Rodman?s going to too, and I?m just looking forward to getting into it.”

The movie will chronicle Dennis Rodman’s abrupt trip to the Sin City in between the Chicago Bulls’ games in 1998. Rodman has always done what he wanted to do regardless of the consequences. The five-time NBA champion has never let any rules dictate his actions or control his life. His eccentric personality has always made him the media’s favorite celebrity, therefore he was always on the news. Over two decades later, Rodman’s infamous trip became the talk of the town again when The Last Dance was released.

Dennis Rodman takes a short vacation

In an episode of The Last Dance, Michael Jordan recalled Dennis Rodman’s notorious trio to Las Vegas. Teammate Scottie Pippen was out of the game for an extended period of time due to injury. Therefore, the pressure was mostly on MJ and Rodman. So when Pippen returned to the court, Rodman declared that he needed a vacation. It was during a discussion between Rodman, MJ, and Phil Jackson when the former expressed his wish.

“We look at Dennis and say, ‘Dennis, what are you gonna do?’ He says, ‘Well, I need to go to Vegas.’ (I said) ‘Phil, you let this dude go to vacation, we’re not gonna see him. You let him go to Vegas, we’re definitely not gonna see him.'” said Jordan during the docuseries.

Thinking about what MJ had said, Jackson asked Rodman if he could shorten his vacation to 48 hours. Realizing that he didn’t have any other choice, Rodman agreed.
