Michael B. Jordan’s Vanity Fair Cover Story Technicolor Dreams |
 |
|
It’s right around the time I’m prattling on about racial diversity in Hollywood |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Inspired by Wakanda and his Newark upbringing, the Black Panther star is building a singular career, equal parts Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise, and Louis B. Mayer. |
| |
| It’s right around the time I’m prattling on about racial diversity in Hollywood that Michael B. Jordan, the movie star, floors the gas pedal and sends his blade-like sports car ripping down the Pacific Coast Highway, a fast-forward jolt that turns Malibu into a kinetic blur of pink and blue. |
| |
| “I got you,” Jordan assures over the engine roar. |
| |
| When he finally slows—imagine the Millennium Falcon after hyperspace—he turns to me and flashes that winning Michael B. Jordan smile, a dazzling display of superstar teeth that sends 7.3 million Instagram followers into squeals of delight (“YOU’RE SO HOTTT, BABY!!!”). A nervous laugh catches in my throat. A minute later, Jordan does it again. |
| |
| Jordan was the star of Fruitvale Station, the 2013 breakout indie hit directed by Ryan Coogler, in which Jordan played Oscar Grant, the real-life black youth gunned down by a transit cop in 2009 for a lot less than speeding. |
| |
| By the time the cop let him off—without a ticket—Jordan had missed his flight. At the time, he was starring in Red Tails, the George Lucas movie about black fighter pilots. |
| |
| This might be the most optimistic time in history for black artists in Hollywood, and Jordan, who starred as the villain Killmonger in Black Panther, an urban antihero who smolders with sex appeal, has become its most distinct leading man. As his co-star in Fruitvale Station, the actress Melonie Diaz, told me, “This is our time. This is our time to be leading men and leading ladies—how does that feel? I think Mike gets that.” |
| |
| Jordan has declared that he wants to advance the cultural aims of black people on film. He also wants to become a matinee idol on par with Leonardo DiCaprio or Matt Damon, which means he wants the ultimate kind of racial equity—to be a movie star, full stop. “I’m first and foremost a black man, for sure, but what I’m trying to do, and what I’m trying to represent and build, is universal,” he says. |
| |
| On the surface, Jordan’s two goals might seem incompatible—to be both black and not black. But Jordan’s biggest films to date, both directed by 32-year-old Coogler, have cannily achieved a parity between racial advancement and Hollywood entertainment—Creed, which flipped the script on Rocky by putting a black boxing hero at the top of a traditionally white franchise; and Black Panther, which embedded an almost entirely black cast and Afrocentric themes in a tableau of Marvel comic superheroics. |
| |
| Fruitvale and Creed forged the relationship between Coogler and Jordan, and the two were now viewed as a package. With Black Panther, Marvel Studios gave Coogler the firepower to shatter the preconceptions of what a “black” film could do—a $200 million budget (by contrast, Fruitvale Station cost $900,000). Coogler co-wrote the screenplay, including the final scene in which Jordan, as Killmonger, is felled by a sword and spends his dying moments—lips quivering, eyes welling with tears—gazing out over the Afro-futuristic utopia of Wakanda, declaring, “It’s beautiful.” In a nod to black history that is also a powerful slice of cinematic melodrama, Killmonger asks King T’Challa (Black Panther) to “bury me in the ocean, with my ancestors that jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage.” |
| |
| The film has grossed $1.3 billion worldwide. |
| |
| In Newark, the Jordan family eventually befriended Cory Booker, the city’s mayor, now a senator from New Jersey. “My dad used to cater for him,” said Jordan. “Me and Cory Booker, Ras Baraka, the current mayor, everybody, the Baraka family, they’re all really good friends with my family.” |
| |
| In a New York Times dinner-table interview with Denzel Washington and Michael B. Jordan, the older actor, coiled and skeptical, evinced a subtle paternalistic attitude toward the younger actor. When Jordan opined on the importance of international-box-office receipts and said he wanted the director of HBO’s Fahrenheit 451, in which Jordan plays a villainous cop, to take his opinions seriously, Washington had to laugh: “Getting your big-boy voice.” |
| |
| Jordan’s best movies have all been directed by Ryan Coogler, who used Jordan’s physical screen presence—his well-built body, his huge smile, the slow-burn vulnerability—to maximal effect. Whether Jordan can achieve a wider range and depth under different direction—or whether he has reached the limits of his craft—remains to be seen. But he is attempting to convert his success into something that won’t require him to be as brilliant on-screen as Denzel Washington: he’s turning himself into a business. |

Michael Bae Jordan Fights For My Love In the Resolutely Shirtless New 'Creed 2' Trailer |
|
|
| THIRST ALERT! Gird your loins and crack open a La Croix because the new trailer for Creed 2 just dropped and it will leave you parched. This new spot for the forthcoming sequel in the Rocky saga apparently tells the story of a young man who is gravely allergic to wearing a shirt and I am not mad about it at all. |
| |
| Michael Bae Jordan, who is still looking ripped, ready, and riiiight after last summer's Black Panther, appears in various forms of undress while Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson, and Phylicia Rashad try to convince him not to fight Victor Drago's son Ivan Drago. |
| |
| One of the great things about this trailer is that it truly captures the many different forms of shirtlessness. |
| |
| Here's Michael Bae giving you pensive but shirtless. |

How Did You Style Michael B. Jordan’s Hair |
|
|
| He has dreadlocks. We wanted to give him a look that you’ve never seen before, and since he is the villain in this story, we wanted him to look strong and bold. He grew out his hair because we didn’t know what we wanted to do with his hair, at first. We eventually decided that we wanted to dreadlock it and keep the sides faded and really short. It’s a great look and he’s really sexy. We added extensions to it, but he did start out with a good amount of hair, and that’s why it looks so natural. |

Exclusive: Michael B Jordan is the face of Coach |
 |
|
Michael B Jordan Is Coach's First Male Campaign Star |
|
|
| Few are having a better year than Michael B. Jordan. After starring in the historical box office hit Black Panther, the actor is making history once again—this time as the first male campaign star for Coach. Jordan is joining Selena Gomez and the rest of the Coach family as the global face of men’s ready-to-wear, accessories and fragrance, starting with the Spring 2019 season. |
| |
| The collaboration, which also includes "special design projects with Creative Director Stuart Vevers," was unveiled today. In the first looks at it, Jordan seems like he couldn't be having more fun. He sports a logo-centric hoodie by the brand with a big smile. |
| |
| Jordan announced the news to his seven-and-a-half million Intagram followers today, sharing a photo of him playing around with the camera. "With any creative endeavor, it’s all about finding the right fit," he wrote in the caption of the photo he shared. "My next role, the face of @Coach men's. Excited to work with @StuartVevers and the entire Coach fam. Good things on the way. |
| |
| Vevers, likewise, complimented Jordan in a statement, saying, “Michael is cool and authentic, and he really embodies the Coach guy. I’ve had the chance to get to know Michael over the last couple of years. He always looks great in Coach, so it felt really natural to build our relationship.” |
| |
| Between his Coach campaign and the upcoming Creed II, Jordan's profile is poised to get even bigger in the near future. But he's not ready to coast on his fame just yet, as he joked to Men's Health earlier this year. "Now I just have to learn how to rest," he said, kiddingly. "This moment I'm going through right now, I've worked my whole life for it. I got here and things are really starting to move. Now all my wants and ideas, I feel like anything can happen. It's crazy. Take a rest? I'm like, why I gotta rest now? I just got here. Can't stop now!" |

Michael B. Jordan Talks Allyship And Empowering Women In ESSENCE |
|
|
| Michael B. Jordan covers the June issue of ESSENCE, where the Fahrenheit 451 actor speaks out about using his platform to further diversity in Hollywood and empower women. |
| |
| Speaking with Matthew Cherry, filmmaker and creative executive at Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, the actor shared that being raised by strong women inspired him to support others. And, he’s doing that through his company, Outlier Society Productions. |
| |
| Back in March, Jordan was one of the first celebrities to announce he was adopting an inclusion rider, which ensures a certain level of diversity among a project’s cast and crew. |
| |
| “Actions speak louder than words. I want to lead by example,” Jordan told ESSENCE. “I know I had an opportunity with the shows and projects I had coming up, to put it to work. It’s important to have diversity both in front of and behind the camera, and inclusion riders make sure that anyone who does business with my company knows that we expect there to be people of color, women, LGBT folks, and people with disabilities in key positions on our crews and productions staffs.” |
| |
| “I’m raised by strong women,” the actor added. “Since the majority of people in power are men, when we speak up it gives them firmer ground to stand on when we support them. I’m not the poster boy for it; I’m not the guy who’s trying to get in every cause, but at the same time when they call me for help, I’m there…I’m going to be there to support them.” |
