Genuinely thought this was Brandon Ingram from the thumbnail lol

[@whaitwhatwhyamihere504]

I read *Jennifer Hudson* , I clicked.

[@senjalintula5700]

i guess we all thought it was Kendrick Lamar in the thumbnail😂

[@HBarnill]

This is dude that won an Oscar for playing Fred Hampton? Update: The joke is that both him and Kaluuya played the same character.

Am I the only one that thought jimmy was being aggressive and a little rude to kelvin...

[@jalensera]

I know he’s usually sarcastic like that, but I think it was a little too much for this particular interview. So yeah I agree lol. Especially about family topics

[@heyanastasia698]

@@jalensera yeah cause that comment about his sisters was pretty weird. And you could tell he was uncomfortable with the laughing

[@iss2500]

Hmmm...I don’t thinks so,some parts were a little bit weird but I think it’s because Kelvin was a little bit shy( or nervous) 😉

[@lorenzoclement2013]

No he wasn't being rude,but they were pressed for time

[@lucagaspare]

I thought he was Kendrick Lamar! I was so excited😭

[@aurora9252]

He looks different here

[@_Larsito]

At first I thought it was Kendrick Lamarr

[@Chicago48]

Unfortunately this movie WAS NOT widespread in the theaters when it was released. And by being on Netflix, I don't have a sub and don't want one. SHAME on Netflix. They need to release their movies to theaters.

[@l.g.d.kazimova8725]

Hi.
