Jordan Firstman, the actor-writer-director known for his roles in FX’s ‘English Teacher’ and HBO’s highly-anticipated pilot, is making waves with his debut comedy-music album, ‘Secrets.’
The concept for the album was born during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Firstman asked his followers to submit their secrets via Instagram Stories.
He then cleverly transformed these confessions into humorous songs, showcasing his unique blend of comedy and creativity.
With titles that intrigue and amuse, the album reflects Firstman’s perspective on turning life’s moments into art, as he proclaims, “This feels like the most direct way I can do that.”
In addition to his artistic ventures, Firstman’s vibrant personality shines through in his ideal Sunday routine in L.A., where he seeks to pack his day with good vibes and humor.
The day begins at midnight, where Firstman suggests the unofficial start of Sunday might be a house party or a night out at Chateau Marmont until around 2 or 3 a.m.
“I think 3 is the perfect time to go home because it doesn’t feel like you’re lame and going home at 2 just because you’re in L.A.,” he notes, emphasizing a balance that’s just right for him.
By 10:30 a.m., Firstman is at Courage Bagels, where he enjoys a friendly perk of skipping the waiting line due to his rapport with the staff.
Though he only uses this privilege sparingly to maintain it, he enjoys a Burnt Everything bagel with salted butter.
Before heading to his gym, he swings by Sqirl for a mocha and lavender lemonade, making sure to start his day with some tasty drinks.
At 11 a.m., it’s time for a workout at Rodeo Athletic Club, where he follows the 12-3-30 method on the treadmill while catching up on episodes of his favorite shows.
“I hate running, so you’re walking, but you still get sweaty and feel like you’re working out,” he explains of his strategy for staying fit.
He also incorporates ice baths, which he finds beneficial for his mood.
By 12:30 p.m., Firstman is ready for a party on a boat with friends in Marina del Rey, embracing a wholesome and laid-back vibe.
Often accompanied by friends from Venice, the gang enjoys natural wines, mushrooms, and good food, reminiscing about the fun gatherings they share.
At 3:30 p.m., he makes a pit stop at Century Day & Night Spa for a body scrub to recover from his gym session.
“I really gotta scrub it out,” he states, ensuring he looks and feels refreshed.
As evening approaches, at 6 p.m., Firstman heads to San Gabriel Valley for his favorite Sichuan food at Chengdu Taste.
Excited about the dishes, he orders a plethora including flavored shrimp, crispy chicken with chilies, and Chengdu fried rice, which he describes as the best he’s ever had.
His ideal bite is a combination of the rice, eggplant, and shrimp, which he passionately raves about, expressing how mouthwatering the experience is.
At around 8 p.m., Firstman shares a more personal insight into his day, suggesting a casual dalliance would happen, allowing for a brief, intimate encounter.
“Let’s be real. It would be 8 to 8:25,” he laughs, giving this portion of his day a humorous spin.
To wind down from all the excitement of his ideal Sunday, he turns his attention to skincare at 10 p.m., ensuring he nourishes himself for the upcoming week ahead.
With a regimen filled with new peptides and a refreshing mask, Firstman ultimately aims to be in bed by 11 p.m., closing out a day filled with laughter, relaxation, and indulgence.
In a world where Hollywood’s norms are often rigid, Firstman’s career continues to break the mold, highlighting the importance of humor, connection, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures.
Through his captivating Sunday routine and the creativity showcased in ‘Secrets,’ it is evident that Firstman leaves a distinct mark on both the entertainment industry and his fans.
