Michael B. Jordan Reveals Career Advice From Denzel Washington
The Sinners actor detailed that he was once asked by Washington, 'Why would they pay to see you on a weekend if they see you all week for free?' and that the answer has shaped the way he guards himself on social media. He did, however, allow part of her personal life to be exposed to the public when dating Lori Harvey from 2020 through 2022. The New Jersey native revealed that featuring the model on his social media feed was done without intention.
'There was no real thought behind,' he detailed. 'At that moment, I was like, 'Ah, f**k it, whatever.''
That does not necessarily mean that intimate footage of Jordan's life does not exist. He continued to reveal to the publication that seven years ago, he hired a videographer to document his day-to-day life.
'The intent was me feeling like I don't take in the moments,' he explained. 'Because I'm always on the go, always working and grinding. One day I wanted to have something to reflect on outside of the memories in my head.'
He continued to explain why the clips will likely never be consumed by the public, detailing his goal was to create a 'family archive' for his relatives such as nieces and nephews to explain 'why Uncle Mike is always gone' or show to his 'great-grandkids when I'm dead' to 'understand a bit of where they come from.'

"Parasite fits your description." –Critical-Dreamer"After watching that, I turned to my son and said 'Well that went in 500 directions I never expected'.'–txcowgrrlOverview: A down-on-their luck family begin working for a wealthy family one by one and start to enjoy the luxuries of their host's affluence, but not everything is as it seems.

After becoming more distant from his family and friends, everything becomes more intense when he becomes aware of a disturbing scheme. "Predator.

"Mulan. Once they stumble over the village the singing stops for the rest of the movie. Even if the cross-dressing scheme is funny, the guys still spend the third act of the movie acting like honourable warriors instead of goofballs." –StarsForgetOverview: When her father is called up to the military to help fight agains the Hun, Mulan disguises herself as him and takes his place in the battalion. "The Abyss. It starts out like a normal '90s disaster flick (underwater facility is in danger, panic ensues) and turns out to be something so much better." –Lucy_LasticOverview: When a team of divers is sent to search for a missing submarine, they encounter aquatic dangers, the like of which they've never seen before.

Still, Psycho is a fantastic movie that starts off as this thriller/noir and then completely shifts."–TheAxis1985Overview: A secretary is on the run after stealing a vast sum of money. When she stops to stay at a motel, she encounters far more than she bargained for. "Click. This one is definitely one of the most surprising of all time.
