The 28-year-old real estate broker, entrepreneur and community organization founder has been tapped as the season 25 lead following days of renewed pressure about the franchise's lack of diversity. James was previously set to be a contestant on Clare Crawley's forthcoming season of The Bachelorette before production was shutdown in March and postponed indefinitely amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. Bachelor Nation also knows James as the best friend, roommate and business partner to fan-favorite Tyler Cameron; the two have spent the majority of the pandemic quarantined together in Florida, along with former Bachelorette Hannah Brown.
“Matt has been on our radar since February, when producers first approached him to join Bachelor Nation, as part of Clare’s season. When filming couldn’t move forward as planned, we were given the benefit of time to get to know Matt and all agreed he would make a perfect Bachelor," ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke said in a statement announcing the casting Friday. "We know we have a responsibility to make sure the love stories we’re seeing onscreen are representative of the world we live in and we are proudly in service to our audience. This is just the beginning and we will continue to take action with regard to diversity issues on this franchise. We feel so privileged to have Matt as our first Black Bachelor and we cannot wait to embark on this journey with him.”
'Bachelorette' Alum Rachel Lindsay Demands Franchise Address "Systemic Racism"
James, a North Carolina native who played football at Wake Forest, had a short run in the NFL and now lives in New York City where he and Cameron run ABC Food Tours, an organization that offers kids from underserved communities the opportunity to explore the city through food, exercise and mental and physical wellness. He is the first Bachelor since 2008's Matt Grant to be cast as the lead without having appeared as a contestant on The Bachelorette.

He's so handsome but most importantly he's black.

Looks like he’s run backwards through a mile of dick in his lifetime.

If I was black, I’d be proud of the lack of representation on that fricking stupid show.

As a pro wrestling fan I don't know how anyone watches this fake shite
Posted on 6/12/20 at 10:05 am to CAD703X
I mean frick it. Why not make the next bachelorette a 250 pound roided up Black trans woman. Now that is something I’d watch. Watching the faces of every single one of those dudes debate whether or not they should accept the rose or not in fear of being called a Racist bigot would be hilarious

I never watch that show. That’s the time I watch lead paint peel.
