Jordan has to be one of the most humbled young actors in Hollywood. Hes just never been arrogant about his success or failures, works on himself and is probably really close with family and long time friends. Savage.

Part of the appeal on these comment sections for a while is to just hate on Jimmy Fallon. He makes mistakes and is sometimes lacking in depth, yes, but to hate on him on non-issues is being the definition of a hater.

This is hilarious, An Ominous. You do understand that aliens from another planet would consider you a lower life form if they saw Michael B. Jordan first, right? Indeed, most other human beings probably share that opinion. You can probably answer this question though. Does racism make you stupid, or do stupid people become racists? I have always wondered about that. Kind of a chicken and egg thing.
