Michael B. Jordan is one of Americaās greatest natural resources. His abs must be protected, at all costs. Iām glad to see Essence focusing on this vital resource on their new cover. Michael Bae is currently promoting Fahrenheit 451, which is about FIRE (and books, and censorship, and dystopia) which is why this cover is SCORCHING. Michael Bae even joked about it on Instagram: bless the person who baby-oiled his torso. I imagine itās like being healed by Jesus, getting to apply baby oil to those abs. Praise it!
As for the words Michael Bae speaksā¦ well, there were rumors floating around that he refuses to date black women. Iām pretty sure he cleared up those rumors years ago, but they get trotted out constantly, so he had to address it again in this Essence interview:
In his interview with the publication, Michael addressed the rumors that he doesn’t date black women. Spoiler alert: It couldn’t be further from the truth.
“My dad and my mom both said, ‘If they only knew.’ If they only knew. And that’s the thing that keeps me not tripping about it, you know what I mean?” he shared before discussing the pitfalls of dating in the public eye. “It makes me hesitant about whoever I’m seen with. I’m finally starting to get to a place now where I don’t care, but it bothered me for a minute.”
Michael added, “It made me more conscious of things I say and how I move, and what could happen if I leave a club or a restaurant or the movies. If I leave anywhere, any known place with anybody, there’s going to be speculation.”
I believe him. I think he dates black woman, brown women, white women. I donāt think heās a womanizer, not exactly. I think he just likes ALL women, he likes to be around women, etc. Thatās the vibe I get from him, maybe Iām totally wrong. Enjoy some additional photos of Michael Bae in Cannes, with Michael Shannon.

Oh I totally believe he’s a womanizer, I think he said somethting along those lines in his interviews when he first started getting famous.
Doesn’t stop me from gawking at those arms though.
When a man is that fine heās really doing a the world a service by spreading it around a little.
@Anna222: PREACH
LMAO
Word
Line starts behind me…šš
HAHAHAHA!!! TRUTH!
Cosign everything.
@darkladi, LOL!
Its selfish to keep that to yourself. Hot damn
I’m sure even plants must lust for this guy.
Jesus! This man is insanely hot! He was the best in Black Panther how sad he won’t be at the sequel..:(
Actually thankfully he may be in the sequel as he is negotiating with Marvel now. Some theorize that he could show up in the spirit plane like Tāchallaās father..
I have a confession: I prefer Ryan Coogler and Chadwick Boseman. Donāt get me wrong, Iām here for MBJās success, I loved him as Killmonger, his body is banging, he clearly is aesthetically stunning-but thereās something about his jawline thatās offputting, and itās all I can see.
He did an interview a few years ago (maybe during Fruitvale press) where he talked about his focus being on Work and not a relationship. He may change as he gets older (heās still so young), or he may DiCaprio his way through Hollywood. Either way, a lot of baby oil girls are going to be happy.
Also, I loved the Bradbury novel, so Iām stoked about this movie.
Chadwick is definitely hotter, imo.
I stand with you Rapunzel
I will pass right by MBJ straight towards Chadwick. He s gorgeous!
I always thought so too! Nothing wrong with Michael B at all, but Chadwick does it way more for me.
I’ll take both Jordan and Boseman with a side of Fassbender please and thank you.
Thatās a hell of a three course meal!
@LIz… I may be ordering more than I can handle…
Both Jordan and Boseman played Reggie Porter Montgomery on All My Children but at different ages, obviously.
@Slowsnow if you need assistance with your meal I would be more than happy *unfolds napkin*
I’ve had a think for Boseman since his first entering strut in the James Brown movie…then those fight scenes in Civil War…grrr.
He’s grown man sexy where as MBJ is fine but with a younger appeal
MBJ was hot but Winston Duke was all kinds of sexy
Ahhh, how could I forget Winston Duke? Speaking of a full meal…
I remember seeing Ryan Coogler for the first and saying, ‘Whoa, he beautiful ‘.
I feel exactly the same about his jawline!! It is so weak.
Chadwick is far hotter anyway
Sharlene, Iām so glad itās not just me!!!
I agree. Heās almost too perfect, plus I still remember the interview where he kept referring to women as āfemalesā. Bozeman is also gorgeous but has a much more approachable quality to his attractiveness.
Let me try @Liz. While definitely cute Michael kind of looks like a more serious Nick Cannon.
Chadwick is Definetly hotter.
Same… what is it about the jawline? I knew it was something I couldn’t put my finger on it.
His jawline makes him look babyish, and more adorable in a cute kid way which I donāt find appealing. I like my men looking like grown men! A friend of mine often finds herself attracted to significantly younger men and I typically find myself attracted to men who look older. Whether theyāre 10+ years older or nearer (or even younger than) my age with distinguished beards and mustaches, and/or that salt-and-pepper silver fox look poppin. Iām always here for it! I met a very attractive man this weekend I thought was 5-8 years tops older than me. Turns out heās extremely youthful looking and FIFTEEN years older. The numbers sound so weird but I was not mad, I still found him attractive.š¤·š½āāļø
But back to the convo at hand…..give me Chad Boseman or that super manly looking Gorilla King (is that who Coogler is?) any day!
Thank you. Thank you so very much. THIS is exactly what I need to start my Friday morning. Good God Almighty, thank you for the gift that is Michael B. Jordan.
Reggie Porter Montgomery Forever! Now, if someone would just give me that road trip rom-com with MBJ and Amanda Seyfried (Joanie & Reggie Forever!) I could think about dying happy.
Lol. LP I think you need to take matters into your own hands and get on that screenplay, stat.
The funny thing is I barely remember Amanda on AMC. When I remember MBJ’s role, it’s always with Leven Rambin.
She was only on it for a short time when Reggie was first being introduced. She was the “good” girl being raised in an ultra-religious family and was friends with some character named Lori who was dating either JR or the Martin kid when JR was getting into drugs.
He is so damn sexy. I know what people say about his jawline because I noticed it more when he was on The Wire but I think he’s grown into it, if that makes any sense. That smile and that body plus the talent! I don’t blame him for playing around. He’s young plus I would play too if I looked like that.
He sure is hot!
This write up! LOL. Kaiser is my spirit animal. “Praise it!” *cackles*
He is so fine. There was one scene in Black Panther where he walked up and I was just wowed by his chest and stomach. They showed a lot of the skin on the men and boy did I love it. I will be glad to try him out for you ladies and report back.
Dude bro vibes, no abs in the world can make it up.
His friends, maybe?
But in his vogue video where he let them into his house, I think he either lives with his mom, dad, and grandma or they come over all the time to cook, bbq, hang with him and he also said his dad was a former service man (Marine? Navy?) who taught him to keep his room clean, bed made, and shirts ironed.
None of that reads as dude bro to me.
Read his older interviews, they were BAD. I’ve loved the guy for years but they ruined him for me a bit. Celebitchy covered them.
I had to Google “dude bro” I had never heard that term before.At first I thought it was a typo.Lol
Nobody is trying to marry the guy.
Those abs scream “let’s f*ck and then you must set me free.”
My view probably comes from an interview I hated, but I might be wrong.
I’m with Naddie. I’ve seen multiple interviews where he came across as gross.
Whoah. Good Morning Michael!
Hot, hot, hot. He brings me joy.
He looks like so many of the guys from my neighborhood…and heck even in my family…that I find it adorable!!!! (But not in a sexy kinda of a way…more of a …”Look at YOU BOO” type of way)
Yeah, heās a cutie pie, but reads as very boyish to me, which isnāt my thing.
I’m gonna need the address lol
I cannot see this guy as sexy. I get it objectively, but he is underage skinny Wallace to me forever. (I live in Baltimore.)
Yes, me too! And the next thing I saw him as was Vince, another teenager struggling. Those two characters linger whenever I see him and not in a bad way (gives him a lot of depth), but not in a sexy, come hither way.
Where does one apply to get the job of oiling Michael Bae Jordan’s abs?
Asking for a friend.
Also, anyone read the rumour that he’s bi? I can’t recall where I read it. But whatever his sexuality and preference, he’s getting it some for sure, can’t imagine him being lonely at night.
I don’t know what kinda person he is but he’s very attractive, esp on that coverrrrr
He is one of the most intuitively off-putting objectively hot guys i know.
