Michael B. Jordan plays Killmonger in “Black Panther.” His character had a troubled family life, but in reality, Jordan’s parents live with him.
Disney/MarvelIn “Black Panther,” Michael B. Jordan plays Killmonger, a bad guy to be reckoned with. But when his real life came in for some Twitter teasing, he struck back with supervillain prowess.
First, Twitter user Chris sent out a tweet about Jordan that — to be fair — seemed to be admiring, not mocking, the actor for some of the unconventional elements of his life.
Michael B Jordan Is A 5’9” Adult Man That Loves Anime & Lives With His Parents….Y’all Told Me All Of Those Things Were Unacceptable Though

Anime fans wanted Jordan’s bona fides, which he quickly supplied.
Nah that was a softball for the anime uneducated 🤓

And then the voice of Naruto from the anime of the same name weighed in.

If there’s a lesson to be learned here, it’s live how you want. Love your anime, love your parents. Just get Jordan’s height right.
