Why Michael B. Jordan Believes 'Justice' Should Be A Part Of His Work As An Actor
Sep 24, 2020
Michael B. Jordan makes important movies. There are few actors out there who have associated themselves so consistently with important stories, especially since it dates back to the dawn of his career. At 33, Jordan’s work is defined by starring in Ryan Coogler’s directorial debut Fruitvale Station , his role of Adonis Johnson in the Creed films and an all-time great Marvel performance in Black Panther as Killmonger.
This week, the actor was chosen as one of Time’s 100 influential people in the world, alongside Parasite director Bong Joon Ho, Tyler Perry and Fleabag ’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge. When delivering a toast during the broadcast special honoring this year’s Time 100, Michael B. Jordan said the following:
I want my work to be part of justice as a whole. When you see these glimpses of strength and solidarity, I think it just makes me want to be better; it makes me want to work harder. If I can do a bit of that hard work—if I can afford them more opportunity so they can stand on my shoulders and be a little bit taller—I think I’m doing my job.
The actor talked about finding inspiration in the generation currently fighting for injustice in the United States in the midst of the global pandemic. Since the killing of George Floyd, protests all around the world have taken to the streets to call for police reform. The actor’s role in Fruitvale Station back in 2013 certainly remains in the conversation since it tells the true story of Oscar Grant, who was killed at a BART station in Oakland, California by a police officer.
