Michael B. Jordan, the man who punched his way into our hearts in Creed, just had a real-life plot twist on his front lawn. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t a romantic serenade scene—it was an uninvited guest who thought he was in an episode of Celebrity Security: The Unauthorized Edition.
On Wednesday afternoon, while Jordan was relaxing in his LA crib, some random dude decided his front yard was the perfect hangout spot. Naturally, Jordan’s security wasn’t about to let some stranger turn the lawn into a personal red carpet moment. So, they rang up the LAPD, kindly escorted the trespasser off the property, and waited for backup like the seasoned professionals they are.
Now, here’s where it gets juicy: When the cops rolled up, the trespasser—clearly inspired by improv classes—claimed he was Michael B. Jordan’s security. Imagine the audacity! This man wasn’t even in a black suit with an earpiece. Needless to say, his performance didn’t land him a callback.
Initially, Jordan’s team figured, “Eh, just get this guy off the lawn, no harm, no foul.” But then, after the adrenaline wore off and maybe after watching a rerun of CSI, they decided to hit rewind and press charges. The LAPD dutifully took a trespassing report, collected all the wannabe-security’s info, and left the rest to the detectives.
Plot twist number two: While all this chaos was happening, Michael B. Jordan had already peaced out like, “Y’all handle this. I’ve got a life to live.” At no point did he come face-to-face with his unwanted guest—because honestly, who’s got time for that?
As of now, there’s no evidence this guy has ever played lawn invader before. The case will be handed off to prosecutors, who’ll decide if the trespasser gets a starring role in a courtroom drama.
Moral of the story: If you’re going to show up uninvited to a celebrity’s house, at least have a better cover story—or better yet, don’t.
