Glen Powell says that he pitched Devotion to Jonathan Majors in a sauna at a Russian bathhouse in New York.
When “Devotion” star and executive producer Glen Powell recruited Jonathan Majors to join him in telling the true story of two Korean War-era fighter pilots who became some of the Navy’s most celebrated wingmen, the pitch took place in an unusual location.
By the time Powell approached Majors to play Jesse Brown opposite his portrayal of Tom Hudner , he’d been living with this project for a few years and realized casting was key to its success. Tapping into that husband-wife relationship was imperative as Majors explored what made Brown tick. “The huge key to who Jesse was, and is, is that devotion to his wife and that idea of sanctuary,” Majors explained. “The man that Jesse is in the world, he gets filled up by her; she is his fuel and motivation. How he operates outside is essentially from the GPS of his partner, best friend and wife.
