Wright was born into a family of football enthusiasts and he naturally developed a passion for the sport at an early age. However, his interest was rivaled by his love for entertainment after appearing in magazine ads and the White Stripes’ music video for “My Doorbell.” at the age of 4. While he has long found a balance between the two, here are other fascinating facts you should know about him.

It was on December 19, 2002, that Ceyair J Wright was born to his parents Claudius Wright and Chanell Jackson. From the records, he grew up in Los Angeles, USA alongside his younger brother Clay Wright.
His father Claudius was a former professional football player who played as a cornerback while at the University of Arizona back in the day. At the moment, the senior Wright is known to be a businessman. On the other hand, Wright’s mother Chanell Jackson is a nurse.

Thereafter, he was awarded a football scholarship to the University of Southern California to major in business and minor in cinematic art in 2021 which would run until 2025.
He Juggles Between Football and Acting
For Wright, football and acting seem to accompany each other. As you would easily find he grew up among many football enthusiasts and started playing football at the age of 6. At the age of 9, he was already displaying his tackling skills as well as versatility.
He continued to display raw talents in sports and got involved in multiple sports such as lacrosse, track, and baseball while in high school and now focuses on football in college.
Prior to this, Wright’s acting career was already on. He got his first gig at the age of 4 and appeared in the music video for The White Stripe’s song My Doorbell. Subsequently, he made appearances in print ads for brands such as Target and Gap and later modeling.
At the age of 10, Wright began to audition and earned some national commercials alongside a few gigs in TV series, like Training Day, Instant Mom, Life in Pieces, and 2 Broke Girls, and other low-budget films such as Magic ’85 and American Skin.
Though he has somewhat found a way to juggle between the two, his father revealed that Wright had to forgo a lot of movie roles including the Netflix show Outer Banks because of his schedule and education. He added while in high school, Wright would practice from 9 a.m. to noon and later enroll in a 90-minute acting class which became a routine for years.
At the moment. Wright has asserted that he’ll not be trading acting for football and vice versa because his passion lies in both of them as he can effortlessly do them at their highest levels.
