Jack Harlow is a newer name to the industry, but he's been all over the place the last few years. The rapper has been dropping hit after hit, and half the time, it seems like you can't escape him. Last year, it was practically impossible to go on social media without hearing Harlow's hit song "First Class." Every TikToker under the sun used it at some point. Jack Harlow, however, seems to want to branch out beyond music. The Kentucky native has been stepping into more acting roles recently. He just appeared on Lil Dicky's FX show Dave, where he played himself. Now, Harlow is taking on a more substantial role in the new Hulu remake of White Men Can't Jump.
Jack Harlow is a rapper, singer, and songwriter hailing from Louisville, Kentucky. He first gained widespread recognition with his 2020 hit single "What's Poppin," which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and has since been certified quadruple platinum. It also earned him his first Grammy nomination. Harlow's musical style blends elements of hip hop, R&B, and pop, and his lyrics often touch on themes of personal ambition, self-discovery, and social commentary. In recent years, he has been nominated for several more Grammys, including one for his hit "First Class," which samples Fergie's "Glamourous." In addition to his music, Harlow is also known for his fashion sense and has been featured in several high-profile fashion campaigns.

The teaser for White Men Can't Jump premiered back in February to pretty mixed reactions on social media. Some thought the film looked pretty good and were intrigued by it. "Why does White Men Can’t Jump with Jack Harlow actually look really good…" one tweet read. Others, however, felt that the trailer failed to capture the magic of the original film. "Sorry, I don't see the same personality and charisma that Snipes and Harrelson had," one user complained. "I'll pass. Hope I'm wrong."
The new trailer gives us a better glimpse at both Jack Harlow and Sinqua Walls, who star in the lead roles. Both characters are in need of money, so they devise a plan to enter a basketball competition that could win them $50,000. New footage also shows the characters' strained interpersonal relationships as they are both chided for having their heads in the clouds. White Men Can't Jump will be released in mid-May on Hulu.
