Jordan Elsass has shed some light on why he decided not to return to play Jonathan Kent for Season 3 of “Superman & Lois” via a Cameo video.
“It’s been a tough few weeks, as you might imagine, with everything going on with the show,” explains Elsass in the video. “It’s sad, it’s a real shame. I know that I was pumped for Season 3, for sure, but what are you going to do? Anyway, mental health is definitely 100% priority. It’s pinnacle. It’s got to take precedence. And mine has been – the last couple of years – it’s been rough.”
“I need some time to myself” he says. “I’m still debating whether I’m even going to act for a while. I may go in a different direction. I know that’s definitely going to be disappointing to some people.”
