You and I both know who Michael B. Jordan is. He is the star of TV shows like The Wire, Friday Night Lights and Parenthood, and of films like Creed, Fantastic Four (unfortunately), Fruitvale Station and the upcoming Marvel epic Black Panther. Dude is a solid af actor. He is really good at acting.

But also, it’s likely you know who Jordan is because he is Extremely Good Looking. I mean, the man is unfairly attractive.

So it comes as a great surprise to me and you and everyone else that Michael B. Jordan doesn’t actually know he is hot. He has no idea!

Or so it would seem after a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, which took place at San Diego Comic-Con. ET asked Jordan about how he got so “ripped” for Black Panther (which, I mean, dude has been “ripped” for a while, ET, but ok whatever… )

Then, because the reporters at ET are humans too, they asked him how he feels about being a “sex symbol”. And Jordan replied: “Who, me?”

I, for one, am SHOOK. How has no one told this boy that he is probably, as my boss put it, “the hottest man on the planet”? This is essential information for Michael B. Jordan to have.

ET reported that, when he was informed of his sex symbol status, “Jordan blushed before adorably laughing at the thought of fans crushing on him”. Which, OMG. I need a minute to process that information.

Then Jordan told ET, “I’m just adjusting to this new air that I’m kind of breathing in, and it’s a balance. I’m trying to find a balance.”

He went on, “I’m just trying to mature and develop as a man and as an actor, in front of the screen and behind, so it’s cool. I’m handling it OK.” He then added (because presumably he wants to make my ovaries explode with pleasure), “My family is keeping me grounded.”

WHAT AN ADORABLE MAN.

 

Anyway, I am here for Michael B. Jordan. I am here to provide him with empirical, undeniable, stand-up-in-court evidence that he is, in fact, a hot hot babe. And here it is.

The Proof

Michael B. Jordan is hot when he’s being serious and pensive.

Michael B. Jordan is certainly hot when he’s being “America’s Adonis”, all covered in oil and shirtless.

Michael B. Jordan is hot when he’s looking bashful but also intellectual and kind… like the kind of man who will do a Saturday crossword with you, and act all adorably humble when he gets all the cryptic clues.

Michael B. Jordan looks hot when he’s leaning into you at the dinner table on an intimate date for two, ready to tell you all his deepest secrets — and to carry yours with him to the grave. “Babe,” he’ll tell me you, “you’re really something”. But it’s him who is something. HE IS THE SOMETHING.

Michael B. Jordan is hot when he’s draped in an American flag because… look, do I really have to explain this one? LOOK. AT. HIM.

Dude is even smoking hot holding a fedora. A. Fedora. No man is hot when holding (or wearing a fedora). Well, except…

And, finally, Michael B. Jordan is hot as Good Boy Turned Bad in his new role in Marvel’s (absolutely baller-looking) Black Panther.

Like, really hot. So hot. I think it’s the hair.

I would definitely put my mouth on Evil Michael B. Jordan’s mouth.

So, rest assured, sweet bb Michael B. Jordan: you are hot. “Who, me?” Yes. You. You are hot.
