    Michael B. Jordan's mother has grown "used" to women lusting after him

    The 38-year-old actor was the subject of an X-rated joke at the recent Golden Globes hosted by Nikki Glaser, but Michael insists that his mother is no longer bothered by the quips.


    The Hollywood star - who attended the ceremony alongside his mom - said on Jimmy Kimmel Live!: "I had fun, but my mom stole the show.

    "I'm pretty sure all her girlfriends are, like, texting her and sending her every meme and every clip possible."

    Michael explained this his mom wasn't bothered by Nikki's joke.

    The movie star - who was crowned People's Sexiest Man Alive back in 2020 - said: "I think by now she's used to it. So she just gives a little eye roll and just kinda keeps it pushing. She doesn't really respond too much."

    Meanwhile, Michael previously heaped praise on Ryan Coogler, the acclaimed director, explaining that Ryan convinced him that he could become a movie star one day.

    The actor has frequently worked with Ryan over the last decade, and the director has played an important role in Michael's career success.

    The film star - who has worked with Ryan on a host of projects, including Creed, Black Panther and Sinners - told Extra in 2025: "It's extremely important to me ... I feel like, at a time, earlier in my career when I was figuring out what type of actor I wanted to be, lead actor, you know, like where do I stand in entertainment industry?

    "Only been a part of ensembles and in this nature, never opened a movie before, never been a lead of a film before, so I was searching for that and Ryan was the first director to believe in that, and tell me I was a movie star and believed it and made me believe it, you know?"
