Michael B. Jordan Battled Depression After Starring Role in ‘Black Panther’

Guess what’s making a comeback on the internet? A vintage clip of the ever-charming Michael B. Jordan, and it’s causing a digital ruckus that even the Avengers would envy!

In a chat with the one and only Jamie Foxx on BigBoyTV, our beloved Creed III superstar spilled the beans about the wild ride of playing an intense role. Brace yourselves because he confessed to misplacing his ‘true-self’ during the process—like, where did it go? Did it sneak off with the script?

Flashback to Michael’s Marvel days in Black Panther, where he rocked the villainous vibes as Erik Killmonger. Apparently, the role demanded more from him than just killer looks; it required a deep-sea dive into his own psyche. Picture this: Michael, in scuba gear, swimming through the ocean of self-discovery. Someone get this man a compass!

As if battling Wakanda wasn’t enough, our hero spilled the tea about wrestling with depression. Our guy had to book a session with a therapist to reclaim his throne as the one and only Michael.

The Just Mercy maestro embraced the chaos as a learning opportunity. He owned up to the quirks and flaws of his character like a boss. “No blueprint,” he declared, probably realizing that IKEA doesn’t have instructions for assembling a Marvel villain.

And here’s the kicker—our 36-year-old champ spilled the secret sauce. To channel the character, he had to go full-on emotionless. He dubbed himself a ‘beast’ in the process. Like, forget method acting, he practically became a Marvel zoo exhibit.

But fear not! Therapy wasn’t just a plot twist; it was the hero swooping in to save the day. Michael revealed that therapy was his superhero cape, rescuing him from the clutches of character-induced chaos and granting him a clean slate.

And if that wasn’t enough drama, our star had to pull a Houdini act, isolating himself to find his way back to sanity. Imagine Michael in a fortress of solitude, contemplating life choices and rehearsing his acceptance speech for the Oscar of Best Emotional Rollercoaster.

Michael B. Jordan, the unsung hero of the Marvel universe, battling character crises, depression, and the elusive ‘true-self.’ Who needs Avengers when you’ve got this guy taking on the ultimate supervillain: Method Acting Madness!
