Jordan posted on Instagram about the impromptu school visit:
“I was driving from set & saw these young kings standing in their school parking lot doing jumping jacks in 90 degree heat! The sight of them inspires me & reminds me why I do what I do!”
The kids were excited seeing the action hero of sorts and some gave him a hug while others hit him up with a high-five.
“Make sure you listen to [your teacher], listen to your parents. Make sure y’all work hard,” Jordan is heard saying in the video. “Pay attention in school.” “Yes, sir!” the boys responded.
