In a recent appearance on Conan O’Brien‘s talk show, actor Michael B. Jordan shared a hilarious story about an unfortunate accident that almost prevented him from making it to the show. Conan couldn’t help but notice Jordan’s cast and asked what had happened. Jordan explained that his girlfriend, who is from LA and not used to walking on New York sidewalks, had tripped and pulled him down with her. Trying to be the hero, Jordan attempted to break their fall and ended up breaking his fourth metacarpal bone in the process. Conan jokingly awarded him points for his chivalry, stating that most guys with a cast like his would have a much different story to tell.
The conversation then shifted to Jordan’s role on the show “Friday Night Lights” and how it had changed his life. Jordan revealed that he played the bad boy from Texas who got into some trouble, which the ladies seemed to love. Conan playfully added that the character’s success must have been a different problem for Jordan. The actor admitted that he had decent luck with the ladies before he became an actor, but he didn’t boast about it as those stories didn’t amuse him.
What surprised many viewers is that Jordan got his start in the entertainment industry through soap operas. He shared that he began his acting career on “All My Children” as Susan Lucci’s adopted son. Jordan fondly recalled the dramatic plotlines and cliffhangers that soap operas are known for, mentioning the intense pauses and curious looks that would leave viewers eagerly awaiting the next segment. As for his friends’ reactions to seeing him on a soap opera, Jordan amusingly revealed that they would tease him about being the black kid adopted by a white family. However, once he got his breakout role on “The Wire,” everything changed overnight.
This amusing and entertaining segment with Michael B. Jordan on Conan O’Brien‘s talk show was a hit with fans, who marveled at Jordan’s charming personality and ability to captivate audiences with his talent and wit. It’s no wonder that this rising star continues to make waves in the entertainment industry with his impressive performances and irresistible charm.
