He's very sexy and his personality speaks volumes, what a nice young man

[@movingforwardwithahad317]

I agree, when he walking talking about working with D.Washington it sounded really genuine. Had no idea he was so relatable.

[@gigitadych8876]

@@movingforwardwithahad317 I've known he was a down to earth person since 2004. I met Michael B. Jordan outside of All My Children studios in NY where he played Reggie and I had a picture taken with him. He left. My son and I walked past him and he was at the food truck and he spoke to us again as we walked past. I said to my son he didn't have to do that, and I hope good things happen for that young man. I'm glad to see that they have.☺

Dear Michael, I live in Germany and hmm where should I start ... I don’t really believe you made over 200 miles (which equals to 320 kph) on our Autobahn. As the car was rented in Berlin, I‘m quite sure the speedometer showed everything in metric. And that I believe you made 200kph, that’s quite reasonable. But 320kph? That’s really a different world and since you are not an experienced race car driver, I would assume it was 200kph. Me myself having experience on the Autobahn since 1993, my highest speed EVER was 270kph with a rented Ferrari. And that was just possible for a few seconds and mentally pretty exhausting. But anyways, I hope you enjoyed your time in Germany and I hope to have here again! Take care and stay safe and sound!
