Michael B. Jordan has recently encountered one of the ghosts of his past. The actor and director attended the premiere of his new film, ‘Creed III’, and he bumped into one of his high school classmates on the red carpetThat had been mocked at him when he was a teenager.
This is Lore’l, the host of the ‘Morning Hustle’ program, who had shared a class with Jordan in Newark, New Jersey. The woman had already admitted these jokes previously, in the ‘Undressing Room’ podcast, which she co-hosted with a partner.
“To be honest, we made fun of him all the time because his name was Michael Jordan. That to begin with – and he was no Michael Jordan,” commented Lore’l, according to reports The Independent. “He came to class with his actor photos, with his portrait. We lived in Newark, that was the neighborhood… We laughed saying: ‘What are you going to do with that ridiculous portrait?’ And look at him now.“
Lore’l’s podcast partner, Dominique, added that Jordan looked like a “nice boy and a bit ‘cheesy’.”
“Do you know what I think deep down? I think Michael B. Jordan is a nice guy and a bit ‘cheesy’. I don’t mean that as a disrespect, those guys are the ones who treat you best,” Dominique commented.
Jordan has been in the audiovisual scene since he turned 15 years old. His first foray was in the acclaimed ‘The Wire’. Later, we saw him starring in ‘Parenthood’ and ‘Friday Night Lights’.
Now, on the red carpet of ‘Creed III’, Lore’l and Jordan have met again. In her “face to face”, she told him: “We travel back to the past. Even Chad Science in Newark.”
To which the interpreter replied: “Oh yeah. I was the ‘cheesy guy’, right?”
“I never said that, it must have been a misunderstanding for sure…” added the interviewer. To which he replied: “I heard it, I heard it. Everything is alright. How are you?”
Lore’l continued: “I said we were making fun of your name. But yeah, obviously you’re killing it right now. You’re certainly not a cheesy anymore.”
Corny or not, what is clear is that Michael B. Jordan can be very happy with the path he has followed and the projection that lies ahead. In addition to his recent presentation of ‘Creed III’, which has given him great reviews before its theatrical release, the actor is preparing for star in a sequel to ‘I am Legend’, with Will Smith; In addition to other titles such as ‘Rainbow Six’, ‘Wrong Answer’or the remake of ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’.
Of course, carrying his acting portfolio with him from school will have served him well. At least, to have a clear future to aspire to. After all, it has ended up becoming a reality.
