As a screenwriter Jordan is developing his television series with Watford & Essex, based on his book THE WOLF YOU FEED, following a competitive bidding situation for the rights. Having been publicly open with his own struggles surrounding mental health, Jordan has been very active in creating awareness around the stigma and he wrote an article in The Guardian about the negative effects that machoism has on men’s wellbeing, which served as the inspiration for THE WOLF YOU FEED.
Jordan’s mental health campaign #IAMWHOLE reached over 120 million people online and was mentioned in the Houses of Parliament and he has regularly been invited on television and to festivals to further discuss the matter. His children’s book THE MISSING PIECE was recently shortlisted for the Waterstone’s Children’s Prize.
As an actor, Jordan has appeared in television series CATASTROPHE, FEEL GOOD and GLUE, and films including STARS WARS: ROGUE ONE and most notably TUCKED, in which he played drag queen Faith. Jordan received an RTS nomination for his presenting of the ITV2 show DON’T HATE THE PLAYAZ, which was also the first show on television to have an all-black all female panel. Jordan has also made music as part of Wildhood and is currently making new music under his full name Jordan Stephens. He lives and works in London.
