Michael B. Jordan (“Creed III”) is interviewed by a reporter who bullied him in high school

Seen like this, on the red carpet, at awards shows, on the big screen, Hollywood stars may seem like those perfect, unattainable, happy beings for whom anything goes, but before being famous they were probably normal like you or me and some, like Michael B. Jordan, were even bullied in high school. The actor, who makes his directorial debut with ‘Creed III’, had a preview of his film on Saturday February 25 and while giving interviews to the media, he came across a journalist who he immediately recognized for mistreating him when he was young. Lore’l is the host of The Morning Hustle and it is she herself who, when it is her turn to interview Jordan (with a grim face), remembers: “We know each other, our history goes back to Chad Science [Academy] of Newark”, to which he replies: “Yeah, I was the sappy guy, right?”.

When you make someone the butt of your jokes in high school, you need to interview them on the red carpet of their movie:

Michael B. Jordan surely won’t forget that Lore’l was one of the people who teased him back in the day

“When you make someone the butt of your high school jokes and then you have to interview them on the red carpet of their movie: Michael B. Jordan sure hasn’t forgotten that Lore’l was one of the people he made fun of. “.

She laughs and pushes him away, “No, I didn’t say that, I was misquoted. You may not have heard me say that, but I said we were laughing at your name.” . Clearly Jordan remembers, but with absolute elegance and gentleness, even if his physical posture is awkward, He seriously answers all the questions that the journalist asks himAS “What was it like directing people you’ve worked with before as an actor?” OR “It’s rumored that you’ll be making a film with Will Smith very soon”. During the interaction between the two, Jonathan Majors, the other star of the film, also approaches and Lore’l asks which of the two “it’s better” And if they are related. The piece ends with her laughing again saying “well, you’re not corny anymore”a word that translates as cheesy, sentimental, or soft.

Prior to this barely two-minute encounter, Lore’l reportedly talked about his bond with Jordan on his podcast, ‘Undressing Room,’ when he commented on the gift the ‘Creed’ star gave him for Valentine’s Day in 2021 to his then girlfriend, Lori Harvey: renting an entire aquarium. The presenter Dominique Da Diva Dijo was one of the guests of the program and it is she who says she believes it “Michael B. Jordan is a nice, nice guy, and I don’t mean that as an insult” And it’s when Lore’l confesses: “To be honest, we always laughed at him because his name was Michael Jordan. Let’s start there, it wasn’t Michael Jordan”he also admits that they mock him for bringing a picture of himself which he is known as head shot and need models or actors to look for work, “We lived in Newark, that was our neighborhood. We laughed at him and said, ‘What are you going to do with your stupid picture?’ and now look at it.”

‘Creed III’ will be released in Spanish cinemas on March 3rd with Jordan directing and also starring, a space he shares with Majors and Tessa Thompson. In this installment, Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky no longer appears and focuses on Adonis Creed’s prosperous present and tumultuous past when an old friend from his youth, who also aspired to be a professional boxer, reappears into his life after spending a lot of time. prison sentence. Zach Baylin and Keenan Coogler pen the script with Ryan Coogler producing.
