This weekend, believe 3 It will hit theaters in Mexico, the United States, and much of the world. The film not only represents a new leading role for Michael B. Jordan, but also his first opportunity as a director. The responsibility is tremendous, since the previous tapes of the saga have had a very good critical and commercial reception. Ironically, Michael B Jordan’s biggest matchup didn’t happen inside believe 3but at the premiere of the tape, where he was reunited with one of his bullies from high school.
This turned out to be lore´lradio show host The Murning Hustle. In the most recent episode of Undressing Room, his podcast, Lore’l revealed to be a former classmate of Michael B. Jordan when they were in high school. And, according to her words, she was not one of those who treated him the best.
“You know what’s crazy? I went to school with Michael B. Jordan at some point in my life. And to be honest with you, we were teasing him the whole damn time because his name was Michael Jordan. Let’s start there, and he wasn’t Michael Jordan. He also used to come to school with a picture of him. We lived in Newark, that was our neighborhood. We used to make fun of him, like, ‘What are you going to do with that stupid picture?’ And look at him now.”
Apparently, Michael B. Jordan carried that photograph, like many other models or actors, to look for work and use it if they ever required it. The meeting between the two took place at the premiere of believe 3.
There, Lore’l interviewed the also protagonist of the film and immediately reminded him of his past: “We know each other, our history goes back to the Chad Academy of Science in Newark.” Given this, B. Jordan immediately replied: “Yeah, I was the cheesy type, right?”
Lore’l immediately tried to defuse the situation by saying: “No, I didn’t say that, they misquoted me. You may not have heard me say that, I just said that we laughed at your name.
“I heard it,” Jordan replied. “I heard it. Everything is alright. What’s happening?”
Although Michael B. Jordan responded politely to Lore’l’s questions, many users of social networks assure that the actor and director felt uncomfortable with his interviewer. Fortunately, the meeting did not go further and everything remained a rather peculiar moment for both of them. At the end of the day, Michael B Jordan has participated in successful productions and is considered one of the most important actors of his generation.
“But of course, you’re obviously killing everyone here… you’re not cutesy anymore,” Lore’l said to close the brief exchange.
Until now, believe 3 It has received very good reviews, and although for many it is not the best of the trilogy, it is positioned to be a success starting this weekend. Such success would cement Michael B. Jordan as one of today’s most successful actors and directors.
What do you think of his answer? Is there really a discomfort as many claim?
