Michael B. Jordan Was Interviewed By His High School Bully Who Used To Mock His Name And Call Him Corny - He For Sure Did Not Forget That

People On Thursday, the actor, 36, went to a fan screening of his latest film, Creed III, when he spotted a former classmate ready to interview him on the red carpet who used to bully him as a kid.

Jordan's comment referenced a 2021 episode of The Undressing Room podcast in which Lore'l and podcast hosts Eva Marcille and Dominique da Diva spoke about his then relationship with model Lori Harvey, calling him a "nice, corny guy."

During the same episode, she also added that they used to tease the actor because he shares the same name as NBA legend Michael Jordan.

"We went to Chad Science [Academy] together in Newark, and to be honest with you, we teased him all the damn time because his name was Michael Jordan. Let's start there, and he was no Michael Jordan," she expressed. "And he also would come to school with a headshot. We lived in Newark. That's the 'hood. We would make fun of him like, 'What you gonna do with your stupid headshot!?' And now look at him!"

I already loved Micheal B. Jordan, but this shoots him up a few more levels in my book. You would think there is no chance he remembers anything from high school. The last thing this reporter was thinking was that he'd know exactly who she was and what she did back then. Well unfortunately for her, he remembered everything. His facial expression said it all. Her words stayed with him as fuel to his fire. Now he's a superstar in the movie business. 

I would never talk for the remainder of my life if I called Micheal B. Jordan corny. You met this dude and that was your take? He actually might be the coolest person walking the planet at this very moment. It has to be such a great feeling for some of these A list celebrities to run into old enemies who doubted you and basically say fuck you. 

Look back at Michael Jordan's high school basketball coach who cut him. Everyone always makes fun of that guy, but I wonder if being cut unlocked something in Jordan's brain that turned him into the monster he became. Maybe this reporter back in high school ragging on Michael B. Jordan did the same thing. I think I just might be on some of these bullies' sides. Wish I got bullied in high school.
