“There are certain aspects of his life that he wants to keep private,” “The Last Dance” director Jason Hehir told Insider.
“I looked for places that seemed like Michael might live in,” said Hehir in why he chose that location. “I knew what his real house looked like and I knew this is a wealthy guy who has certain tastes, so we wanted something to match that.”
Instead, Hehir and his production team looked for houses to interview Jordan in that were located around his home in Jupiter, Florida.
The first house was rented by the production and is the one that features the big all-white living room and ocean view in the background.
Jordan’s real home in Jupiter is located in The Bear’s Club golf course resort, a gated community that features a course created by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus. Jordan’s 3-acre, 28,000-square-foot-mansion is made up of 18 structures, has 11 bedrooms, a two-story guardhouse, and one wing of the house is a dedicated workout facility complete with a basketball court.
“He just didn’t want people to see all that,” Hehir said. “I respected that so I never pushed back.”
But Hehir couldn’t do the Jordan interviews in one session. So two other houses were used to complete all the interviews Jordan did.
Real movie magic.
Jordan was smart for doing this. It shows he still values his privacy. And yes he still is the best NBA player to ever step foot on the courts.
