‘Thanks For Making Me Feel Out of Shape’: Michael B. Jordan Shows Off His Muscular Body for the ‘Gram

Michael B. Jordan has made a name for himself over the years thanks to his impressive acting skills, good looks and an even more incredible physique. 

The “Black Panther” star recently blessed his Instagram timeline when he shared some rugged shirtless photos of himself, seemingly on the set of a movie. In the first shot, the 33 year old was spotted posing in front of a rugged Chevrolet pickup truck. The actor sported a pair of dusty grey sweats and sneakers. He wore a bucket hat and had his face covered with a blue bandana. In the second snap, the star sat on the truck’s bumper, this time not wearing his hat. He captioned the steamy post: “🍔 #lostfiles #CreedBooks.”

It’s safe to say fans liked what they saw. The photo garnered over 1.9 million likes and over 17,000 hilarious responses from male and female supporters who were blown away by the actor’s muscular build. Fashion designer Davidson Petit-Frère teasingly commented, “Thanks for making me feel out of shape 🙄 lol.”

Another user jokingly wrote, “Bae dm the address so I can send this PS5,” referencing the highly sought out video game consult social media has dubbed the best gift a girl could get the special man in their life.

A third person commented, “Simply Beautiful. Hopefully one day, I can oil your body up & not just in my dreams 🤭😊.” “You can have up to ten pictures sooooo… where’s the other 8? 🧐,” a fourth person wrote.

Michael’s body, however, hasn’t always been used just to send fans into a frenzy. Just a few weeks before the 2020 general elections, the “Creed” star did his civic duty by encouraging early voting when he shared a tantalizing shirtless image of him biting his bottom lip. “Vote Early ✅ 🗳,” he captioned the post. At the time, “The Wire” star also included useful voting tips, including a reminder to fill out your census and request your ballot.

Fans were on board with the demand, including one user who humorously wrote, “Not sure what the first picture has to do with voting, but I’m sold. Take me to the polls.. or poles whichever since we’re multitasking here 😂.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
