A man who speaks intelligently and can actually think is an amazing combination. KMBJ sure demands attention...His parents sure raised him right. ..he is an amazing, talented actor..leaving a dynamite legacy😘😘😘...there is no competition.
A beautiful mind, a gorgeous soul and the outter skin ain’t bad either. Excited for what’s to come from MBJ

RIGHT? I keep saying that his cover is nice, but the pages are awesome! I really enjoy interviews where the journalist asks him (or any actor) questions that he/they can sink some teeth into and really think about.

They fired Chadwick Boseman because he didn't want to portray a stereotypical role and asked to make the character more complex. Chadwick talked about this at the Howard commencement speech. crazy how things work out.
Very powerful interview. I'm officially a Michael B. Jordan stan. Thank you!
loved Creed... love how the franchise was reinvented
This man is so genuine.
The way him mind is i hope he finds a deep, humble wife unrelated to Hollywood. That wife gonna be one lucky woman. God bless her in advance.

A third creed? Count me in I'll be honored to have Jordan star alongside me.
It's so crazy how he actually LOOKS like he could be Carl Weathers' (Apollo Creed) son in real life Lol
Wallace is still his best role so far.
Fatherhood has no time frame, but what age do you think you'll become a father?
Bow wow got that part 4 hurricane season 😂

40:00 “5 people in a sauna with shaving cream” is leading to either a bad joke, a nightmare, or erotica

How was he ghetto? I didn't pick up on it.
I remember the new orleans hurricane basketball movie. Not sure forest Whitaker but the spanish kid who left the gang was memorable.
I'd watch her interview a potatoe (because she's that good), but I'll take Michael B, if I have to... KIDDING OMFG
oh micheal that toothpick is distracting.
I never knew he played Wallace in The Wire. My mind is blown right now.
God I wish I was that tooth pick.
I KNEW HE'D SAY ADONIS MADE HIM KNOW HIMSELF THE MOST!!!
At 41:15 the way he chewing 😩 baby come here 💦💦
