Michael B. Jordan is one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020

Actor, producer and advocate MICHAEL B. JORDAN was honored by TIME as one of the Most Influential People of 2020. In his essay explaining why Michael is a representation of the best of the next generation of leaders, fellow actor Denzel Washington writes:

What I’ve learned about him in the short time I’ve known him has led me to admire his work ethic, his intensity and his desire for excellence. He’s a go-getter, from the roles he chooses—including his powerful portrayal of civil rights attorney Bryan Stevenson in 2019’s Just Mercy—to the way he uses his production company, Outlier Society, to push the cause of representation in Hollywood forward. He already is a force in front of the camera, but he’s going to be an even bigger force behind the scenes. When it comes to Michael, we should expect the unexpected. I’m happy to be a small part of his journey, and I can’t wait to see how it’s going to turn out. He’s the next generation, and it’s good to know we’re in good hands.
