Michael B. Jordan looks so handsome on the cover of WSJ. Magazine‘s Talents & Legends February issue.
Here’s what the 30-year-old actor told the mag:
On gaining 20 pounds of muscle for Black Panther: : “Chest, shoulders, back. My legs a little bit, my quads. I was just, like, massive…It’s a job, man…You really have to diet. It’s hard to be social. You have to drink a gallon and a half of water. When you’re drinking a gallon and a half of water a day, you know how many times you have to use the bathroom? It’s annoying.”
On his relationship status: “Dating, but technically single. L.A. isn’t the best place to date…No offense to L.A.”
On the industry in 2018: “It’s the best time to be a person of color in Hollywood who’s creative and has original projects. Everybody wants that right now. That’s how I feel – I feel like it’s a timing thing. I’m ambitious. I see what actors I look up to have, the types of platforms they have and their ability to create and tell stories they want – I want that. Why not?
Black Panther hits theaters on February 16.
