Michael B. Jordan & Jesse Plemons | Actors on Actors

Variety | December 20, 2025



It’s a ‘Friday Night Lights’ reunion as Michael B. Jordan & Jesse Plemons sit down for a long overdue catch-up. Jordan breaks down what it was like to play twin brothers in the hit movie ‘Sinners,’ while Plemons discusses his creative partnership with Yorgos Lanthimos and the paranoid thriller ‘Bugonia.’ Jordan also talks about what it was like growing up with the same name as one of the most famous basketball players in the world.

    Michael B Jordan is too modern and casual for me. No little bit of weirdness or vulnerability comes across which makes actors unique. He’s the nice dude you know from the gym. I dunno. Just doesn’t move me.

    Get your money bro but 😴

    Peter Berg is an unsung hero in Hollywood. He’s one of those guys that won’t really be remembered by the public but when he passes, Hollywood will miss him greatly.

    They played Two of my favorite characters from Friday Night Lights and now fast forward they’ve each had such full and diverse careers. Love seeing them back together, they seem like true friends

    This is the first Actors on Actors I've watched, purely because it's Landry and Vince. It's so good to see these two all grown up, thriving, and looking to be healthy, grounded, and thoughtful humans. Makes me very happy 🙂

    Made me feel so good to listen Mr. Jesse Plemons. You may tell how well prepared he is, academically and professionally, and at the same time, how well care he takes to himself. And Mr. Jordan was a good pairing.
