Distractify was fortunate enough to talk completely with Jordan about filming on location in the city of Brotherly Love and what it was like running with Queen Latifah and Adam Sandler.

‘Hustle’ was filmed in each Philadelphia and Spain.

Aside from Philadelphia, the film was also shot in Spain. Adam's character Stanley works as a professional scout so he travels the arena in hopes to seek out the following basketball big name.

“Hustle was shot half in Philly after which half of it and Spain," Jordan told us. "Unfortunately, I wasn't in the cool camp who were given to shoot in Spain. But I did stay in Philly and it's the most efficient town ever. It's so cool.”

While shooting Hustle, Jordan were given to spend a while in point of fact experiencing the city, because of considered one of her The L-Word: Generation Q castmates.

“One of my castmates from The L-Word, Kate Moennig, grew up in Philly, so I might text her continuously about places to go,” Jordan explained. “She took me to Pat's, which is a cheesesteak position, and Federal Donuts, which is the most productive.

So there was at all times simply tune and everybody were given along so properly between the workforce and the solid," she dished.

While it may sound like rainbows and sunshine, Jordan reminded us that they were still filming during a pandemic. “We were one of the first productions to come back after the pandemic. So that was also cool," she said. "It just felt like we were setting the bar very high with how you conduct yourselves after a pandemic on set, and everyone was so respectful and so great.”

But the fun really picked up when the cast filmed the second block with the NBA players. “We took a couple of months off for the reason that NBA players needed to play in the NBA,” Jordan mentioned. “When we came back, despite the fact that I didn't develop up gazing a large number of NBA, it was still so cool to be surrounded through those best professional basketball avid gamers as a result of we did numerous montage shoots with them.
