Michael B. Jordan in "Creed"

YES LAWWWD!!!

Just look at that body, look at that body, look at that body, watch out!

A sure alpha! I want him!

He never smiles. HOT!

I don't know if this movie will be any good.

Mama likey!!!!!

Such an Alpha Male Stud

YAAAAS, hunty! More shirtless pictures of MBJ, please!

Great thread! Thanks, OP.

I have never been with a dude, but for this bro...

[quote]I have never been with a dude

Don't like. Much of his average guy charm and stealth sexiness disappeared under the 'roid look.

Roid look is so hot

Do not see the appeal. Bad actor. Average looks. Boring.

Yeah someone here reported that he made douchebag sexist comment, but ill forgive him because he's pretty young. I like his body and I hope his acting improves

HOTTTTT

What? He's hot and likeable.

He's juicing.

He's got a nice body but not my type

shit i wanna bend him.

I'm grateful for juicing then

I don't care if the movie sucks or he can't act -- just give him the Oscar for that photo alone.

Sky's make up to look older looks horrible. He's 67 (?) years old, why not just leave him as he is?

Sly's...

That pic is masturbatory material. Hmmmm

Michael B Jordan says fans didn't want him dating Kendall Jenner because of her race

When will these pretty boys learn that it's just better to be SILENT lol

MBJ is now on the damage control tour

[quote]Lastly, my fans who are women mean the world to me. This is especially true of Black women, who as a group have supported my work long before the industry knew my name. I deeply regret and am ashamed that I said anything to disappoint or disparage them. I apologize with my whole heart for referring to women in the way that I did. The word 'female' used in the manner that I did is dismissive and strips women of their humanity. It is a slang term that guys sometimes use to sound slick and cool coming up

I got a piece of that.

He's the K-Fed of celebrities with other celebrities names.

This picture made me say "Unnnnhh" really loudly.

I applaud him for apologizing. Very big of him. I too notice that a lot of urban men refer to women as "female." It tends to have a sexist or demeaning connotation. Military dudes do this a lot too.

That pic makes my thang stand up in my pants

He had a god body on Friday Night Lights, but that photo shows his hotness has increased by an order of magnitude.

I think he's super hot (even with the weird neck - find a profile shot and you'll see)... and this new bod with the protein shakes and gym membership is hot! Hopefully he has some sexier scenes in this very average looking movie.

Don't think he's a very good actor though.. quite forced in Fruitvale Station (then again, the whole film was).

[quote](even with the weird neck - find a profile shot and you'll see).

I dont see it

R35 I guess I more meant the jaw-neck connection (what does one call that part of the head?), looks kind of saggy and jowly and soft... like his chin goes straight into his neck without any jawline.

No chin and mediocre actor

Those chicks at LSA have been dragging his ass up and down the street like a damn rag (stealing from Mama Joyce) for the last two days due to that GQ interview. He was already on thin ice with them anyway because he made a lot of disparaging remarks about their hair (and you know sisthas are VERY sensitive about their hair, rightly so), so he's in damage control now because he realize that he may potentially lose his biggest supporters.

He's desperate for Creed to be a hit because this is his one and only shot to prove that he can be a box office star (especially with The Fantastic 4 flopping).

I thought he was great in Friutvale Station. Haven't seen him in anything else. He's is a hot hot hot tho

he reminds me of Nick Cannon, like Nick's little brother that has swag

I thought he was great in Fruitville Station too

I want his workout routine

R42 You need it gurl

Great body, but meh face. Like someone else said he has no chin. I'm not a big fan of plastic surgery, but he needs a chin implant.

Whatever, dude

none of us will see it

Definitely did not look like that when he was on All My Children, but he was only about 18 at the time. He was not the greatest actor back then (although the writing was bad and the show was going down the drain) but he kind of had a goofy charm. He seemed to have some potential.

The weird jaw / chin is back in Creed.

The chicks at LSA said he has a pelican chin. Lort! Those bitches are as ruthless as the gays at DL!

r49, people that nasty are sad and miserable. Not cool to say that about another human being.

Id suck him dry. Who gives a shit about a chin?

[p[[

Just saw him on an old "Criminal Intent" where he ALSO played a boxer. (It was a "ripped from the headlines" story about dogfights.) His body looks better now.

Better? how could it look any better than it does in Creed?

R53 I said it looks better NOW-- i.e., IN CREED!

Oh yeah, man

i thought he was good in fruitvale station.

I thought he was Nick Cannon. How embarrassing.

he is so hot

Rocky movies tend to be good, so I'm excited.

Weird neck? Huh?

He's descent in bed. Not that ai know personally but my friend told me. And yes, she's white.

[quote]He's descent in bed.

Oh, dear.

Chinless wonder ,

LOL at the pelican chin and one of the pictures they posted. I hate LA normally, but that is just gold.

Zac told MBJ to keep his chin up.

His bod is incredible, yo

r65, you're ignorant, dude.

Lol(65)

R68 Oh please, I'm sure you've NEVER criticized someone's appearance.

I don't say much about everyday people's looks, but MBJ is not good looking and if he wasn't famous, very few people would give him a second look.

Of course you "hate LA" and of course MBJ is ugly.

Of course.

I hate LA because they make nearly everything so race-related. And they're generally nasty to new posters. DL isn't even as bad.

MBJ isn't ugly because he's black, he's just ugly. Blank eyes, no chin and weird looking space between his chin and neck. Keep on reaching.

What do you think of him and Nick Jonas together? Wouldn't that be hot?

Is there even a site more un-directed at you than LA? What purpose would someone like you even have for visiting LA?

Bizarre.

I don't find him attractive at all. Sorry, just my opinion.

Complaining about LSA being too "race-related" is like complaining about DL making everything gay-related (and trust me, the posters at DL make nearly everything gay-related).

But, yes, the pelican chin and other comments they made when they dragged MBJ for nearly two days was comedy gold. The "bro/dude" 'mo who's salivating over MBJ better hope Creed is a success for MBJ's sake.

[Qoute]Chinless wonder

Any LA plastic surgeon could snap his fingers and fix that in 5 minutes, hag!

I didn't mean that I care about it being more about black celeb oriented, it's that they bring up race into just about anything. If you're a white poster, you can seemingly do no right there whether you say anything "wrong" or not.

LSA is shit but so is DL.

DL is even worse

stud

This movie is getting great reviews.

Stop relying on that body!

Michael B. Jordan Is Woof-Worthy in Behind the Scenes Video from ‘Men’s Fitness’ Cover Shoot: WATCH

The movie is really good.

It's not his chin I'm after.

A cinematic knockout. Michael B. Jordan is outstanding in this role. He carries the weight of the iconic film franchise with gravitas and grit. Stallone is fantastic too, a legend passing the torch. Tessa Thompson continues to shine on screen. She is what Lisa Bonet could have been, without the weirdness.

Jordan and Stallone deserve some awards for their performances

Men's Fitness

I've been a fan of Michael B. Jordan since Friday Night Lights. He was in the last two seasons and out of the younger actors on that show he was the best one.

His body will deflate to its unimpressive normal size once the press tour is over for Creed and his butt cheeks don't get any more daily needles.

r91 is so ignorant. Michael B Jordan has been buff for years, albeit bigger in Creed.

I'm not into black guys, but his body is perfection!

shut up, r93

It made almost $43 million. Very good.

it wasn't until I saw him at JFK a couple weeks ago that I realized that he is s mouth breather.

I wonder if the chin implant would help that?

stop being so stupid, r96

Michael B. Jordan is totally down for a 'Creed' sequel

Michael B. Jordan would gladly slip on Adonis's boxing gloves again for a Creed sequel.

"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 told the Associated Press in an interview. "Especially the way it ends off, it's pretty cool. I think with success and time and circumstances, it would be exciting to come back and work with (co-stars) Sly (Stallone) and Tessa (Thompson) again." = Director Ryan Coogler also shared that he'd be excited to do a sequel.

The film, which begins a new chapter in the iconic Rocky franchise, follows Apollo Creed's grandson, Adonis (Jordan).

It performed well at the box office after opening last week, snagging $42.6 million over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The film was beat out only by juggernaut The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 and Pixar's The Good Dinosaur.

Oscar buzz has also been brewing for the film, particularly for Sylvester Stallone's performance. But according to Rocky himself, all recognition should go to Coogler.

“I think it’s because of what this young man and has done and how he directed it. He just put me in a good light,” Stallone said in an interview with Variety.

5 Reasons Why ‘Creed’ Became a Box Office Champ

Stellar casting, strong word of mouth and nostalgia played into the success of seventh “Rocky” movie

“Creed,” a spin-off of the “Rocky” franchise, punched well above its weight, earning $42.1 million for the five-day Thanksgiving weekend.

Even its $30 million haul for the three-day weekend represented the biggest box office gross of any of the seven films in the boxing series.

That was good enough for writer-director Ryan Coogler‘s $35 million production to place a strong third for the weekend behind reigning champion “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2” ($52 million) and Disney/Pixar’s “The Good Dinosaur” ($39.2 million).

1. A fresh twist on a familiar franchise 2. Jordan expands the audience 3. Knock-out word of mouth 4. Great timing in the ring 5. Title avoided case of sequelitis

He's hot. Even if he has a "pelican chin" whatever that means. And the last thing he should do is get plastic surgery.

Oh, wow, I didn't realize Ryan Coogler (of Fruitvale Station) directed this film. He's a very talented director. To have directed the wonderful Fruitvale Station and then had a big critical and commercial success with Creed all before he's turned 30? Sounds like a very bright future for him.

Why has no one mentioned that Claire Huxtable is in this film??? This makes it even more appealing. Ticket sold!

I agree, r102

She really doesn't have a big role, r102.

Creed's one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in a very long time. It deserves a BP nomination and Stallone deserves a Supp. Actor nom, if not the win. It's that good of a movie.

Creed: The Oscar Contender We Should Have Seen Coming

A Rocky sequel? For Best Picture? Believe it.

You’ve heard the story a thousand times. A contender nobody saw coming—a newcomer, an underdog, an oddball nobody knew what to do with—enters the ring in the 11th hour, and blows them all away. It’s the story of Rocky Balboa that won a best-picture Oscar in 1976. And now it’s the story of Creed, as critics begin to weigh in on what might be the next emotional boxing drama to win over the public and the Academy alike.

A reunion between Fruitvale Station director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan, Creed is a Rocky . . . spin-off? Sequel? Somewhere in-between, maybe; Sylvester Stallone is there, bringing remarkable depth to yet another turn as the Italian Stallion, and Jordan is playing Adonis Johnson, illegitimate son of Rocky’s old nemesis and eventual friend Apollo Creed. But Stallone is here strictly as support for the younger class, settling into the Burgess Meredith trainer role and allowing the remarkable Jordan to carry the film.

The fact that he carries it so nimbly, and with such a startling combination of ferocity and tenderness, isn’t a surprise for anyone who saw Fruitvale Station or even Jordan’s turn on Friday Night Lights. But it’s still an enormous boon to Creed, a brawny and fairly traditional sports movie that excels with every surprisingly emotional punch. In a year when it had looked very possible, once again, that every single acting Oscar nominee would be white (cue #oscarssowhite), Jordan represents an opportunity for the Academy to look toward a more diverse, younger, better future. At 28, he’s still young for a best-actor winner (Adrien Brody was the youngest-ever winner at 29), but don’t rule him out, either; in a best-actor race that’s still fairly open until we see Leonardo DiCaprio and The Revenant, a push for Jordan could go far.

As a sport drama opening Thanksgiving weekend, in between The Hunger Games and Star Wars, Creed seemed to have potential (Fruitvale Station made a promising but ultimately unrealized run for the awards in 2013), but with a high risk factor: tampering with Rocky is no small thing, and did anyone really ask for another Rocky movie anyway? But the film is so successful that nearly anything now seems possible, and wouldn’t it be perfectly in the spirit of Rocky for Creed to surprise everybody in other categories, too? Our critic Richard Lawson will weigh in shortly with a full review, but in the meantime, let us turn our focus back to Oscar. A few other places where Creed oughta be a contender:

Best Picture. The legacy of Rocky remains strong, even four sequels later, and Creed does an excellent job of connecting itself to its best-picture-winning history (and maybe less to its Ivan Drago years). Boxing movies are weirdly sticky with the Academy—remember how Million Dollar Baby came out of nowhere to surprise everyone in 2005?—and with the fizzling of the Jake Gyllenhaal vehicle Southpaw, there’s not much competition in that arena. Maybe most important, only The Martian can match Creed for its populist, crowd-pleasing joys matched with quality—and with as many as 10 best-picture nominees possible, there’s more than enough room for both.

Best Director. We could refer you back to the #oscarssowhite problem, but Ryan Coogler’s direction stands alone by any measure. As he did with Fruitvale Station, he brings the camera inside the mind and spirit of a main character who is not always emotionally forthcoming, and in scenes of intimacy—especially when Adonis and girlfriend Bianca (a very good if underused Tessa Thompson) are getting to know each other—he brings the audience in even closer. That works in the ring, too; one fight in the middle of the film happens in a single take, or at least appears to, so seamlessly that it feels like watching a magic trick. Youth may work against Coogler as well—the director category is even less traditionally friendly to young upstarts—but the Academy ought to seize the opportunity to recognize this emerging talent early.

Best Original Score. This may not even be possible, given the way that Creed plays with and ultimately revives the original, iconic Rocky score (Academy rules about “original” in this and the song categories are notoriously brutal). But who cares! The way composer Ludwig Göransson plays with, sets up, teases, then finally brings in those blaring trumpets is nearly as satisfying as a triumph in the ring itself. You can’t get through Creed without wanting to hear “Ba BUM ba da DUM ba da DUM da da DUM” and raise your fists in the air, so if bringing back “Gonna Fly Now” costs them Oscar eligibility, it will have been worth it.

I was shocked to learn that he used to be that toothpick Reggie on All My Children.

I'm confused. Since "woman" has the word "man" in it, and "female" has the word "male" in it, can someone please explain to me why some people consider "female" a derogatory or dismissive term but think "woman" is fine? I'm sorry, but to me it seems more natural to write or talk about a "female cab driver" than a "woman cab driver," for example, because I think it sounds weird to use "woman" as an adjective.

Even Tessa Thompson might get nominated for the original song she cowrote.

I love Tessa

So, so good. Anthony Bellew as Pretty Ricky Conlan was terrifying. The cold, dark eyes of a man who can crush you.

Yeah, he was very good. And a lot of the American boxers around the gym were too.

How You Can Get Michael B. Jordan's Jacked Creed Arms

Anybody up for two tickets to the gun show?When you first see Apollo Creed’s son Adonis, played by Michael B. Jordan, attempt to step out of his father’s shadow in Creed, you're likely to notice Jordan’s impressively ripped physique like never before. After less-jacked roles in Fantastic 4 and Fruitvale Station, the actor packed on his most muscle ever for the critically-acclaimed Rocky sequel.

“Mike is very athletic,” says Corey Calliet, the personal trainer behind Jordan’s transformation for Fantastic 4 and Creed. “That makes my job a little bit easier.” A former amateur boxer and bodybuilder, Calliet trained Jordan two hours a day—sometimes twice a day—to have him resemble the chiseled builds of peak-period Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa.

“I was really big on how the back looked because there’s a lot of shots from behind," Calliet says. "We carved out the biceps really well and he had really nice triceps already so we just defined those.”For those hoping to somehow attain Jordan’s buff look, Calliet advises "working really hard at the basics" and paying attention to diet as much as exercises. “Before you train, you want to load up on carbohydrates to give you the energy that you need for your metabolism to speed up and so you’re able to burn fat," he says. "After you finish training, put carbohydrates back in you so your body can replenish the nutrients that it lost."

While Jordan’s full regimen included 45-60 minutes of daily cardio, an ab series three days a week and a day of leg exercises and plyometric training, we’ve narrowed it down to sculpting the perfect arms. Though the reps should stay consistent, the weight is whatever you can handle: "If you're doing 10 pounds, 20 times that’s nothing," explains Calliet "But if you move it up to 15 pounds and you rep out 18 and have to work for your last two, that’s what you want to work with and grow on every day.”

Day 1 (Note: Descending reps start at 10, the next set includes 9 reps, the next set includes 8 reps etc.)

Chest — 3x12 incline dumbbell press, 3x12 flat flys, 3x12 incline dumbell press, Push-ups: 10 sets of descending reps. Triceps— 3x15 kickbacks, 2x20 cable push downs, Seated dips: 10 sets of descending reps.

Day 2

Back — 3x12 one-arm dumbbell row, 3x12 close grip pull downs, 3x12 bent over row (reverse grip) Biceps— 3x12 alternating dumbbell curl, 3x12 barbell curl, 3x12 hammer curl

Day 4

Full-body— Flat dumbell press: five sets of descending reps, superset with 15 push ups, flat flys, 4 sets of 15 dumbell curls, 3 sets of 12 hammer curls

Day 5 Give your arms a break and work something else, you beast.

Days 6 & 7

Boxing—Heavy bag, speed bag, mitts, jump rope. Now go admire those guns in the mirror.

This guy is a total charisma void. Stallone carries this entire film and considering it's all callbacks to the original film, he carries the script too. I like the central idea and there are some really enjoyable moments but mostly, at best, it's a serviceable entertainment. Stallone should've co-written the script and someone other than Coogler should've directed - he didn't know how to orchestrate or build the big, populist moments and make them set pieces. It was very flat. Without Stallone this would've been nothing.

Whatever r115

Every Dinge Queen's wet dream.

You forget to add "dude" at the end of that comment, R116. You slippin'!

Michael B Jordan was outstanding in this role

Who else remembers him on All My Children? Didn't Jackson adopt him? I forget the character name.

[quote]Who else remembers him on All My Children? Didn't Jackson adopt him? I forget the character name.

Reggie -- Jack did adopt him. I did not think he was a great actor, or necessarily attractive, but he did have something and seemed to have potential He never really had much of a story besides being Bianca's and Kendell's step-brother. They did start to have him in a romance with Amanda Seyfried's character. They ended up dropping Amanda and back burning Jordan, so tells you about their eye for young talent at that time.

He does not have too much to say about the show (not only was it a soap -- it was a soap in rapid decline), but I have heard him say he learned a lot about professionalism from Lucci.

He's hot

Is he, like, married with children or something? (I don't keep up with that stuff.) Because the word "gay" hasn't come up on this entire thread. Where are all the usual "who's had him?" comments?

Hes a young, single guy. Straight. Juicy dick.

So glad that Wallace didn't die and is now a buff young man. If that evil String thinks he's getting an Oscar nom before Wallace he needs to think again.

Seriously when it comes down to it, it's still a fucking Rocky movie.

Hot bod l

He is delicious!

commercial with Kobe is awesome

He has lot a lot of bulk, but he has a natural mesomorphic body structure that is a dream for most men. His shoulders are so broad.

Boom

My Bae

With Oprah

So hot

That pubic hair on his chin(or lack thereof)only makes it more noticeable. He would be okay looking if not for that profile.

Oh, hell no. This dude is a thousand times hotter.

Not to me

Oh c'mon, they're both super hot!

Morris Chestnut is a hot daddy now, he's almost 50! Black don't crack.

When are their nudes going to leak?

mmm he turns 30 in two weeks. Born February 9, 1987. So yeah, who's had him?

Stud

Will there be a sequel?

BAe.

I would drain him. Where are the dick pics??

He seems sort of reserved and serious

Black Panther

King

I lust after him often.

Shoulders like bolders

Creed 2

I want to see "Creed 2 - Full Frontal."

I wonder if he enjoys getting rimmed?

"Morris Chestnut is a hot daddy now, he's almost 50! Black don't crack."

This is gonna sound crazy, but as physically hot as Morris Chestnut has always been, he seems passionless/boring. I wonder if he'd be a hot fuck or just something nice to look at.

MBJ is a very nice dude too

Jacked

When does the new Creed come out

Essence

I usually don't like roid men

but dang he one fine piece of manhood.

hope he bats fer our team...

best of luck sir.

Ide lick his taint with glee and beg to clean his poop hole, with homosexual zest.

DOnt be gross

Sylvester Stallone y Michael B. Jordan vuelven a ser Rocky y Adonis en el primer trailer de "Creed II":

Yes, here's the movie thread.

new #CreedII trailer now. In theaters November 21.

Creed 2

Morris gets better looking every year. Michael B is just dreamy! I think that he really is not that into being all buff but does keep in shape. Loved him since The Wire. Good actor.

MJB is 31. How much longer does he have to find a girlfriend, get married and have children before we can safely assume he doesn't prefer ladies? Young guys are staying single out here for much longer these days...

I've lusted for his luscious lips and hot body since Parenthood. If his nipples were just a little bigger, he'd be perfect.

It’s his life r166. Stop trying to project expectations on others

He can fuck me raw and demand I sign an NDA.

Oh wow dude

Boss

Vote early!

Nice body. Face...meh. He’d look nice in My playroom, spread on the rack. Hooded, of course.

Any rear view pics? Is the hole still tight?

Got a fresh can of Crisco.

Sexiest Man Alive

If only Michael B. Jordan could develop a chin.
