Michael B. Jordan Praises Jamie Foxx in 'Just Mercy': 'He's An Amazing Storyteller'!

Michael B. Jordan stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday night (December 16) and dished about starring alongside Jamie Foxx in Just Mercy.

Just Mercy shadows world-renowned civil rights defense attorney Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) as he recounts his experiences and details the case of a condemned death row prisoner whom he fought to free.

“We were dealing with such heavy material,” Michael told Fallon. “He was excellent at playing music to kind of get us in and out of moments. I think we were dealing with such heavy stakes all the time, he would play songs to kind of set the mood for a scene. But then also play songs to kind of get us out of it as well. He was definitely a big cheerleader on set. Always telling jokes, he’s an amazing storyteller.”

Michael B. Jordan also surprised Jimmy with a Sprinkles cupcake made with his mom’s special rum cake recipe that is available exclusively through Sprinkles.com to raise awareness for Lupus LA!
