Known for his competitive nature, Michael Jordan has excelled in every sphere of his life. Whether it’s basketball or golf, the legend has never failed to showcase his brilliance. Is it even surprising to watch His Airness being an icon as an actor as well? Recently, a resurfaced clip brought back memories of the time the 6x champion decided to try his hands at acting for a special show.

The documentary was directed by the same American director behind the popular movie Batman vs. Superman. Let’s explore a bit more about the uncovered gem.

Michael Jordan’s acting flair in Zack Snyder’s documentary

The famed director Zack Snyder recently shared an old clip from the sets of his first feature, Michael Jordan’s ‘Playground.’  The documentary was released in 1990. While it was Snyder’s debut film, everything from the cinematography to the narratives looks polished. Titled, “Playground,’ the 43-minute movie revolves around two characters. The first part talks about the Chicago Bulls legend’s career and his accolades.

The second part includes a boy named Walt, who was rejected for his high school basketball team. Following this, the movie culminates as the young Walt meets Jordan on a playground. Here is the clip for you to watch.

Zack Snyder praised Michael Jordan

While it was a fictional movie, the story was loosely based on MJ’s life.

The character of Walt reminded people of Jordan who also didn’t get the chance to play for his high school team. This must have been a great experience for MJ as well. He did his best to portray the character.

While speaking of Jordan’s work in the film, Snyder said, “He’s a natural. Everything is just easy to him.”

It was more like the Bulls legend hated to lose even if it was something far from his expertise. Have you seen the movie? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
