Michael B. Jordan took the opportunity to troll an interviewer who previously called him "corny" on a a podcast. Moreover, this went down at the Creed III Atlanta HBCU fan screening. However, new podcast audio shows that the interviewer, Lore'l, didn't call Michael B. Jordan corny in the first place, but rather her cohost. Furthermore, Lore'l told Jordan that he misquoted her when they talked on the red carpet, and it looks like she was right all along. Moreover, the new audio actually shows the podcast host somewhat defending the actor and director.
“You know what I really think deep down inside? I think that Michael B. Jordan is a nice, corny guy, and I don’t mean that as a slight,” Dominique said. Furthermore, they discussed his relationship with Lori Harvey in a 2021 podcast episode. “We all know the nice, corny guys treat you the best.” Then, Lore'l stepped in to talk about knowing Jordan for years since they went to school together. “You know what’s so crazy? I went to school with Michael B. Jordan at a point in life,” she said. "And to be honest with you, we teased him all the damn time because his name was Michael Jordan.
Lore'l Never Called Michael B. Jordan Corny
"Let’s start there, and he was no Michael Jordan," she continued. "And he also would come to school with a headshot. We lived in Newark, that’s the hood. We would make fun of him like, ‘What you gonna do with your stupid headshot!?’ And now look at him!” Years later, Lore'l referenced their history at the screening, and it shows the Black Panther actor has quite the sharp memory. “We go way back, all the way back to Chad Science [Academy] in Newark,” she told him. “Oh yeah, I was the corny kid, right?”
Meanwhile, whatever corniness Jordan has, had, or will have is moot in the face of his accomplishments. Fans everywhere are very excited for the third film in the Creed franchise, especially considering how much MBJ's spoken of his experience both directing and acting. Ahead of the film's release, let's just hope that he catches wind of Lore'l's actual words and doesn't hold any ill will. Still, check out all referenced clips above and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Michael B. Jordan and Creed III.
