The Creed star went on to share a clip of himself at the age of sixteen, in which he appeared in an episode of All My Children, during which he made an over-exaggerated wolf howl while in character.
Jordan then quipped that he was ‘pretty sure I hit puberty mid-howl’ after the clip ended.
The performer began to discuss his breakup from Lori Harvey and expressed that, although many see the period after separations as a time to work on personal fitness, he was already in shape from working on Creed III.
He also stated that whenever people looked up ‘sad Michael Jordan’ during the period of time, they would usually find a photo of the basketball legend with tears in his eyes, much to his amusement.
After he stated that he had joined Raya, several cast members, including Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner and Ego Nwodim, began flirting with the actor with the latter of the three proposing both marriage and ‘makeup sex.’
