Jack Harlow Gets His Hoop on in White Men Can’t Jump
Jack Harlow’s foray into acting started last year when it was announced that he was making his acting debut in the reboot of White Men Can’t Jump.
In February 2023, the trailer for the White Men Can’t Jump reboot drew mixed reactions, particularly for Jack, who portrayed Billy Hoyle, Woody Harrelson’s character in the original flick. Some were excited about the movie, but others feared that Jack’s performance would ruin what was so great about the original 1992 film.
“They are remaking White Man Can’t Jump with Jack Harlow? Instant trash,” wrote one person on Twitter.
Another person commented: “What this is, is an excuse to keep Jack Harlow in the spot light, while leveraging a classic original idea to continue to endear his ‘white rapper’ schtick to the masses.”
It looks like the harsh criticisms for that movie didn’t deter Jack Harlow as he’s moving on with his next movie project.
