Michael B. Jordan is Rolling Stones' March 2023 cover star. In the expose, he gave us an inside look into life as an actor turned director on the top of Hollywood's A-list. He discusses his directorial debut with "Creed III", set to release on March 3rd. In addition, he touches on his experience as a Black man influencing his role as Adonis Creed in the films.
"So this is what Adonis is the most current iteration of. He is Black in the world. He has to work through the aftereffects of what Killmonger was fighting for, and how Oscar wasn’t seen or respected. Adonis is trying to start a family, and dealing with childhood trauma, not knowing how to talk and not knowing how to express himself. Not knowing why he feels less, why doesn’t he feel worthy," Michael B. Jordan tells Rolling Stone.
The Look
Additionally, the shoot was lensed by creative Adrienne Raquel who is known for her playful and vibrant imagery. Subsequently, styling creds go to Michael B. Jordan's stylist Jason Bolden, who was able to convey a powerful message of masculinity with contrasting femininity through the looks for the shoot. Michael can be seen in a shirtless pose with a pair of Todd Patrick two-toned leather pants and a Peter Do jacket draped across his shoulder. Elsewhere Michael is seen in a white Bottega Veneta tank top, a diamond Tiffany & Co. necklace, and a strand of pearls.
Finally, for the cover itself, Michael B. Jordan is dazed in a red and black logo-embellished Givenchy biker jacket, and matching pants. Furthermore, this cover marks the beginning of a new era for Jordan, as fans everywhere anticipate the new "Creed" film to be just as successful as the last two. He tells Rolling Stone, "I don't see myself slowing down. Life's short. I want to squeeze every fucking drop out of this." Overall, we are confident that Michael B. Jordan will continue to pose a double threat with his successful acting career and now his directing career, and we cannot wait to see what he will do shortly.
