Creed III Star Michael B. Jordan Reacts in Silence to ‘Desperate’ & ‘Obsessed’ Giannis Antetokounmpo

Hollywood actor Michael B. Jordan is on his way to becoming a household name in the movie business with the success of Creed III. Despite many being doubtful about how well the product would do in the absence of Sylvester Stallone, the movie has done quite well at the box office. Moreover, it has racked in over $100 million from its worldwide box office sales in its opening week.

Jordan has been around in Hollywood for some time but found his breakthrough in 2013 after the success of Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station. Although Jordan might be extremely talented, he is still a bit behind as compared to other greats like Leonardo Di Caprio or Denzel Washington. However, he is a very hard worker who would do anything to get better at his craft. Therefore, it was not surprising when he reacted to NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo’s startling admission.
