[@datswassup07]

There’s nothing to not like about this guy. He’s humble, hardworking, thoughtful, loves his mom, realistic, wants his legacy to be more than his looks, multifaceted and THEN on top of that he’s fine as hell. Whew....a black king.

[@harlightspodcast4585]

Yes humble especially he seems well rounded a true king. This is talked about on a Spotify podcast called Harlights: open.spotify.com/show/0W1R7yuBWNtdDqaiQ6L3zW

He’s so much more than a “pretty face”. Truly gifted at his craft, very grounded, humble, intelligent, funny and seems to have big heart, especially for family and friends. I hope he continues to get recognized for all of his special qualities.😊

[@roter13]

[@jazzyj904]

I've had a crush on Michael B. Jordan for almost 20 years! 🥰 I'm still so surprised how he hasn't gotten this sooner. He's incredibly sexy but it goes past his looks. His ability to stay low-key, his passion for his work, and how much he cares about his family is what solidifies that title in my opinion.

[@nancykerrigan]

Same. Honestly, I think he shoulda got it instead of Idris like 2 years ago?

[@aliciarhoden]

Well said.
