When Michael B. Jordan Promises to Come Home, He Means It Up ahead, there's a production moho (what industry folks call a mobile home) in the parking lot behind the school. The moho is hella conspicuous, which is a hazard of sorts, because megamoviestar Michael B. Jordan is inside it—with a team of people prepping him for his cover shoot—and the plan is to secret him around his old high school without the whole student body catching wind that he's in the building and going apeshit.
Read the Mr. Rogers Profile That Inspired 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood' Once upon a time, a little boy loved a stuffed animal whose name was Old Rabbit. It was so old, in fact, that it was really an unstuffed animal; so old that even back then, with the little boy's brain still nice and fresh, he had no memory of it as "Young Rabbit," or even "Rabbit"; so old that Old Rabbit was barely a rabbit at all but rather a greasy hunk of skin without eyes and ears, with a single red stitch where its tongue used to be. The little boy didn't know why he loved Old Rabbit; he just did, and the night he threw it out the car window was the night he learned how to pray. He would grow up to become a great prayer, this little boy, but only intermittently, only fitfully, praying only when fear and desperation drove him to it, and the night he threw Old Rabbit into the darkness was the night that set the pattern, the night that taught him how. He prayed for Old Rabbit's safe return, and when, hours later, his mother and father came home with the filthy, precious strip of rabbity roadkill, he learned not only that prayers are sometimes answered but also the kind of severe effort they entail, the kind of endless frantic summoning. And so when he threw Old Rabbit out the car window the next time, it was gone for good. The 40 Best Golf Gifts Guaranteed to Lower Anyone's Handicap Know a golfer who won't go a weekend without grabbing their clubs and hitting the links? Getting them a quality present for the holidays—be it a stocking stuffer or the driver that tops their wish list—that improves their game is as simple as combing through the latest in golf gadgetry and gear. The following 40 gift ideas, which have the power to turn a weekend warrior into a club champion, are, forgive us, a real hole in one. Go to a Restaurant for Thanksgiving Dinner. I'm Serious. Maybe you're looking forward to it. Maybe when you hear the word Thanksgiving, your nostrils fill with the summoned scents of rosemary and sage, and you smile inwardly as you imagine bowls of cranberry sauce and boats of gravy and platters of poultry being ferried around the table from one generation to the next, with gentle elders and eager cherubim joining hands in a fellowship of food. Nostalgia for the most gluttonous of Thursdays is practically a national birthright, which means that complaining about our collective rite of homecoming is like committing an act of American heresy. So let's do just that. Timex's New Q Timex 'Falcon Eye' Is Stylish, Boldly Different—and Affordable Turns out good things come in twos—at least when it comes to watches. Earlier this year, Timex brought out the first reissued iteration of the Q Timex, a diver-inspired watch with a red-and-blue bezel and a bit of a '70s vibe. To say it was a smash hit is something of an understatement. The watch—which made its debut right here at Esquire, by the way—sold out in less then 24 hours. Then it did it again. And again. It's still out of stock right now. Michael B. Jordan Returns to Newark for a Surprise Visit Returning to your alma mater years after you left can be a pretty emotional experience—returning years later as a legitimate movie star? That's a whole level of overwhelming that only a few can understand. For Esquire's 2020 Winter cover story, we took Michael B. Jordan back to where it all began—Newark Arts High School in Newark, NJ—to surprise the students. And as you can see in the video above, the experience was just as overwhelming for him as it seemed to be for the theater full of students surprised by his visit.
