Michael B. Jordan is the cover star for GQ magazine’s March issue. The gorgeous star posed in a Rick Owens jacket while sporting an iced-out grill, looking like a villainized hunk about to take over the film industry—and he may do just that. In an exclusive interview with GQ, Jordan revealed to the esteemed magazine that he is in full work mode and doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon.
According to Jordan’s exclusive interview with GQ, he planned to grind in his 20s and relax in his 30s. However, those plans have been deferred. The “Creed III” star is currently gearing up for a role in an upcoming Ryan Coogler film, Sinners, and taking on the dual job as director and actor in The Thomas Crown Affair reboot. “I think part of the goal,” he explained in GQ, “is to get to a place where my life or anything around it doesn’t change if I all of a sudden decide I may not want to work this year, or the year after that. I might want to spend time doing other things.”
Michael B. Jordan Discusses Leveling Up in his Career in GQ
Despite his booked and busy 2025 calendar and tenacious work ethic, Jordan is looking forward to living a balanced life and having the discretion to either work or take a year off. “I’m hoping that one day something clicks where it’s like, ‘You don’t have to work at the same pace that you worked at your entire career.’ I think it’s coming soon. But I said this 10 years ago. I really, really, really think it’s coming soon. I really do,” proclaimed Jordan.
The California native has been in the film industry for over 20 years and is just now getting to a place where he has influence over the film projects he’s involved in, and to maintain this freedom – he’s keeping his foot on the gas. “So when you get to a position now where you can move and impose your will in certain situations and create things, and have your own agency—I spent more time struggling and trying to build something than I have been in a position where I can be moving. I’m not content. I’m going to continue to build and grow,” declared Jordan.
