Talk about the role of a lifetime. Not to mention the coach of a lifetime.
Actor Michael B. Jordan is in good company with Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone.
Then add writer/ director Ryan Coogler to the mix, the same maestro who helmed Jordan in the compelling ‘Fruitvale Station,’ which garnered him an Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead, and you got a winner.
Now on the cover of Men’s Fitness Magazine looking way ripped, the up and coming superstar gained 28 pounds to play Apollo Creed’s son opposite Sly Stallone in the award winning iconic Rocky Balboa story.
The reviews are great and according to early projections, the suits look to make money from Creed, the 7th Rocky installment. Not to mention possible sequels.
“A character so rich as this, and the world he’s in, I want to see what happens to him next and what he does,” Jordan said in a recent interview.
