‘Oh Nahhhhh Michael What You Doing’: Michael B. Jordan Debuts Shaved Face And Fans Are Begging Him To Grow Back Beard

Actor Michael B. Jordan shaved his beard, and his fans on social media are beside themselves. A recent photograph of Jordan hanging out with his girlfriend, Lori Harvey, began circulating online and the “A Journal For Jordan” actor was without his mustache and beard.

Fans were thrown for a loop and had strong reactions to the clean-shaven actor, with many hoping he would grow it back as soon as possible.

The Shade Room shared the picture on Twitter with a caption noting that fans did not appreciate him shaving his beard. “Michael B. Jordan stepped out without his beard & the streets not feelin’ it:(@jpwphoto).”

One Twitter fan responded that she wanted Jordan to grow back his facial hair. “Oh nahhhhh Michael what you doing @michaelb4jordan grow it back,” wrote the disgruntled fan.

“Michael B Jordan better stop playing with me and grew his beard back,” demanded one Twitter fan.

Another fan joked that Jordan shaved his beard because of “steveharveyfication.”

“The steveharveyfication of Michael B Jordan,” joked another fan.

Other fans didn’t seem to be so bothered by Jordan’s clean-shaven look.

“Maybe he filming,” wrote another. “He looks nice folks are just haters like good d—n everybody got something to say i’d hate to be a celeb.”

Jordan is set to star in the sequel to “I Am Legend” will Will Smith. Both men will also produce the film. Jordan also returned to his role as Adonis Creed for “Creed III” which he will also direct. The film is expected to premiere in November.

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.
