It's Michael B. Jordan's world, we're just living in it. In recent weeks, the Black Panther actor's name has been making headlines thanks to various impressive efforts on his part. Just last month he exciting job of hosting on Saturday Night Live, and his opening monologue certainly didn't disappoint. At the time, he addressed his breakup from Lori Harvey, which shocked fans of the couple in mid-2022.
Aside from that, the 36-year-old star is gearing up for his directorial debut, Creed III to hit theatres. The film is set to release on Friday (March 3), alongside a fire soundtrack executive produced by J. Cole and his Dreamville crew. For the past few days Jordan has been attending red carpets and giving interviews about his upcoming project, as well as the racy Calvin Klein photoshoot he just dropped.
Michael's Mom Knows He's Got It Going On
On Monday (February 27), a collection of black and white images showing the California native's chisled body in various pairs of CK underwear made their debut. As expected, it wasn't long before thirsty replies began pouring in, chiefly on Twitter. From propositioning the actor for sexual favours to admitting to excessively zooming in on the images, users didn't hold back when revealing their freaky fantasies abut Jordan.
While chatting with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, the multi-talent admitted that he gave his mom, Donna Jordan, an apology before the NSFW images went public. "I was like, my mama gon’ have to see this. Let me call her and be like, ‘I’m sorry. It’s out here.' My business all out in the streets — literally,” he joked. Regardless if his family matriarch approves or not, the reactions prove that Jordan is one step closer to beating those "corny" allegations.

The Creed III premiere is quickly approaching later this week, and ahead of that, Jordan has been hinting at the possibility of more projects to come in the "Creedverse." Specifically, he mentioned the possibility of "a spin-off of the TV show, the animation or graphic novel, or a video game."
