Speaking of Jordan Peel, I think everyone is not very familiar with him, after all, he is not very famous in China. However, if I say a movie, people will be amazed ~ "Oh, it was him!" "The movie is Breaking Bad, and Jordan Peel is the director of Breaking Bad. Today, we will briefly understand him!
Jordan Peel was born in February 1979 in New York City, USA, to a black father and a white mother, Lucinda Williams. He attended I.S. 44 Computer School and then Calhoun College, graduating in 1997. During this time, Jordan Peel served as a screenwriter on the variety show Crazy TV Season 1 in 1995.
In this variety show, he met his partner who will work with him countless times in the future, Jigan-Michael Kay. In 2001, Jordan Peel went to Sarah Lawrence College for further studies. After graduation, he continued his acting career. In 2003, the first season of the TV series "Strip 911" in which he starred premiered. Since then, Jordan Peel's acting career has been unheated, mainly based on dubbing.
In 2012, Jordan Peel formed a partnership with Gigan-Michael Kay to form "Ki and Peele", and worked together to make the comedy of the same name, and also made a lot of funny videos. In 2016, the two starred and produced in the comedy film Keanu Cat, which was the first time the two had collaborated in such an important capacity on the big screen, although they had also been in the same frame in the film before.
Since then, Jordan Peel's career has entered a new stage and has gradually become known. Since we are talking about Jordan Peel today, it is impossible not to mention his wife, Chelsea Berry. Chelsea Berretty is a comedian who met Jordan Peel in 2013, and the two met on Twitter. In November 2015, they announced their engagement.
On April 26, 2016, Berryetty announced that the two were married. Today, the couple has a son, beaumont. Back to Jordan Peel! It can be said that what makes him famous is not his partner or his wife, but the self-directed movie "Escape from Desperate Town". After the film was released in 2017, it grossed $250 million.
You know, the investment in the entire film is only $45 million. Not only that, "Escape from Breaking Bad" has been nominated for multiple awards, and won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and its 99% Rotten Tomatoes freshness also made it a hit. Of course, "Escape from Desperate Town" can come out, and it is indispensable to the assistance of Sony. Why?
It turned out that Sony had made a movie called "Emoticon Fantasy Adventure". Sony originally wanted Jordan Peel to voice a piece of in the movie, or a piece of black. Jordan Peel was very resistant when he found out, thinking that although he was not famous, he would not be reduced to. However, after a sad night, he was forced by life to decide to try it, so he asked the agent to ask how much he paid.
Who knew the agent who said to him, Dubbing? Sorry, Mr. Jordan Peel, you can't even get the chance to voice, because Sony has already given it to Patrick Stewart. Then, Jordan Peel decided not to be an actor and became a director instead. Immediately after, "Escape from Desperate Town" came out, which was his first director's work.
It's very interesting that: "Emoticon Fantasy Adventure" and "Escape from Breaking Bad" were released in 2017 at the same time. "Escape from Desperate Town" has been praised by countless people, and "Expression Fantasy Adventure" has been called a bad film by countless people. In the 38th Golden Raspberry Awards on March 3, 2018, "Expression Fantasy Adventure" won the worst movie, the worst script, the worst director, and the worst partner "award".
To this end, Jordan Peel once joked: When a movie is directed by women, we have the privilege of watching Miss Bird, Dirt Realm and Wonder Woman, and when a movie is directed by men, we can see a poopy Expression Fantasy Adventure with a.
