Jack Black receives fan letter mix-up with Jack White after a passionate autograph seeker mistakenly sent a heartfelt message to the wrong music legend, sparking renewed calls for another joint project between the two artists. The mix-up, highlighted on social media by Jack White, has amused both fans and fellow musicians while reviving hopes for another creative collaboration between the famous Jacks.
A Misdelivered Fan Letter Ignites Online Buzz
Years after Jack Black and Jack White delighted fans with their “Jack Gray” project—a playful partnership that combined their musical talents—the pair is back in the spotlight due to an unexpected fan mishap. Jack White, known as the former frontman of The White Stripes and co-founder of Third Man Records, recently shared on Instagram that he received a letter intended for Jack Black, who is celebrated for his roles in movies such as “School of Rock” and “Jumanji.”
The letter was delivered to Third Man Records, a record label owned by Jack White, Ben Blackwell, and Ben Swank. Included was a Topps trading card featuring Jack Black’s character Captain Bombardier from season three of “The Mandalorian,” whose on-screen spouse is portrayed by Lizzo’s Duchess Bombardier. The sender, an avid autograph collector and enthusiastic fan, expressed deep admiration for Jack Black’s performances, most notably referencing the iconic “Saxa-A-Boom” scene.
“Dear Mr. Black, I hope you’re doing well. I’m a big fan and an avid autograph collector. Your roles in School of Rock, Nacho Libre, Jumanji, and most importantly how you dominated playing the ‘Saxa-A-Boom’ haha, are all reasons I look up to you. Adding your autograph to my collection would be incredible.”

“I admire your acting, skills, and TikToks. It would mean a lot to me if you could sign my card,”

“As I assumed, none of the card companies put out a card of you in your role of School of Rock. However, I found a card that is pretty awesome that Topps made. I enjoy Star Wars, so my hopes are high that you will consider autographing the card. Thank you for being awesome.”

This prompted a wave of comments from fans and musicians, including singer Kelley Swindall, who offered a creative solution that could bring both Jacks together on one memorable item.
“Sign it, send it to JB, he signs it, then sends back to our awesome guy.”

Fans Hope for Another Joint Musical Project
While the suggestion to create a double-signed collectible was met with enthusiasm, the incident reignited excitement over the duo’s previous collaboration as “Jack Gray.” Back in 2019, Jack Black, Jack White, and Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass recorded the single “Don’t Blow It, Kage,” which showcased the theatrical antics typical of Tenacious D combined with White’s production expertise. This track, brimming with humor and energy, cemented the “Jack Gray” name among fans.
The current mix-up and playful public responses have inspired renewed calls for a sequel to their last partnership. With the fan letter serving as an unexpected bridge, social media users and music lovers are eagerly inviting Jack White to deliver the message to Jack Black in person, and perhaps even create something new together.
Potential for Future Collaboration Remains High
This fan letter errors has not only provided amusement for both artists and their supporters but also underscores the enduring appeal of the “Jack Gray” collaboration. Should White and Black choose to revisit their creative partnership, the energy and enthusiasm from their previous venture suggest it would be met with eager anticipation from fans both old and new. The incident stands as a testament to the passionate fans these multi-talented artists continue to inspire.
