Space Jam 2 Co-Star Reveals One Special Treatment LeBron James Needed on the Film Sets

Published 06/09/2021, 4:30 PM EDT

An upcoming Malcolm D. Lee film, Space Jam 2 is getting all the hype it needs. The excitement is obvious with star man LeBron James playing the lead role in it. Space Jam has been a basketball fan movie since its first installment that starred the great Michael Jordan.

Now that it’s Bron’s turn to shine, the movie has been aptly titled ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’. The audience will get to see a fictionalized version of LeBron James as a basketball wizard. To add to the surprise, the sports comedy film is expected to feature some other NBA and WNBA players in key roles. This added list includes Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, Chiney Ogwumike, and a few others.

Meals are a priority for superstar LeBron James

Other than the expectations from the movie, the behind-the-scenes and imagining LeBron in an actor’s schedule is particularly exciting. One of the lead actors of the film, Don Cheadle, revealed a bit about the King’s actions off-screen. Other than Bron’s commendable teamwork on the movie sets, Don also talked about one special treatment reserved for the superstar.

“The only time he (LeBron) really required special treatment was when that huge human being had to eat,” Don told Conan O’Brien. “So there’d be certain times, like (looks at watch), ‘Oops, gotta eat’, and we would sit there and wait for 15 minutes.”

The big man needs his meals on time, and he’s not doing anything without them. So the whole team would wait for Bron to meet his food plan. At the end of the day, Bron is needed the most on the court. While he is a very systematic person in terms of his work schedule, Bron’s diet is key and needs special attention, and most athletes on the set would probably choose to do what the Lakers star did.
