Michael B. Jordan Responds To Being Compared To Denzel Washington

No, not quite.

According to TMZ, Michael B. Jordan responded to a viral tweet comparing him and the legendary actor Denzel Washington. The Black Panther actor was caught exiting a restaurant last weekend by a cameraman.

 

A cameraman immediately asked the Creed actor about the hot topic and said, “Hey Michael, how does it feel when people say you’re the next Denzel?”

While signing autographs for nearby fans, Jordan promptly responded, “That’s my mentor, man. It’s all love, man.

He was later asked, “Does it push you to work even harder just because he’s the GOAT?”

Jordan kept his answer short and sweet, saying, “Always.”

This debate comes when Jordan’s latest film, A Journal For Jordan, is due to release. Washington is the director of the new drama.

The highly-anticipated movie is not Washington’s first go behind the scenes. He also directed 2002’s Antwone Fisher, 2007’s The Great Debaters, and 2016’s Fences.

As for his acting, he’s been critically acclaimed for his work in films like GloryThe Hurricane, Fences, Roman J. Israel, Esq., Training Day, Malcolm X, and many more.
