After Starring Alongside Creed III Director Michael B. Jordan, MLB Great Alex Rodriguez Makes a Cheeky Hollywood Request

Years after retirement, New York Yankees veteran Alex Rodriguez still attracts significant fan attention. A player with a controversial past, A-Rod plays an active role in the sports world even now. But another thing that he has become known for is his acute business sense, which has established him as a millionaire. Founder and CEO of A-Rod Corp, the former shortstop has also appeared as a guest on the popular reality show Shark Tank. But this is only a small list of accomplishments that Rodriguez has accumulated over the years. Now it seems like he wants to add ‘actor’ to his resume!

From sharing the stage with the likes of Elon Musk and John Legend, the former Yankee recently joined Hollywood sensation Michael B. Jordan at an event. Not only that, but he also had a request for the Creed star!

There, he got to rub elbows with some amazing personalities from all over the world. One of them included Creed actor Michael B. Jordan.

In addition to a picture in his story, A-Rod also made a post to his news feed that showed the two stars posing for a selfie. The former ballplayer captioned it, “Rocky and Michael. Put me in the next movie! 🥊 What do you think my character should be? @michaelbjordan”. Guess what song A-Rod added to the post?
