Creed 3 is one of the most awaited movies of 2023. Stemming from the Rocky franchise, the first two installments of the Creed franchise have established a name for themselves. However, with the third installment, the storyline would set itself apart from Sylvester Stallone’s character and focus majorly on the lead character’s storyline, played by NBA legend Michael B. Jordan.

Entering the ring nearly half a decade after Creed 2, it took some time for the actor to get back in shape. Jordan went through a properly monitored workout routine and took an equally monitored diet to prepare for his role. This is as they like to put it, ‘the Hollywood diet.’

In a YouTube short posted by willcozens, ever since the promotion of the movie started, MJ has been asked about his training routine in multiple interviews. Judging by the photos he dropped on Instagram in October 2022, it was time for Jordan to reveal his secrets. And the Creed actor did not hold back.

In his interviews, Jordan revealed that he used to “eat like 5 to 6 times a day.” He added, “It’s eating every three hours, drinking about a gallon of water a day, and working out twice a day.” Further, he mentioned that taking the right amount of sleep was important.
