Michael B. Jordan Talks Living With His Parents at 30 Years Old on 'Ellen'

Michael B. Jordan reveals what it's like to live with your parents on 'The Ellen Show'

February 6, 2018

Michael B. Jordan is officially adulting. On The Ellen Show, the 30-year-old actor told Degeneres he "love[s] ironing" and even called it "therapeutic." However, Jordan also revealed he's living with his parents, a situation he plans to change "immediately."

"I love my parents but we have a roommate relationship right now, which is interesting," he said. "You get home-cooked meals but then you also have random trips to the kitchen in the middle of the night," which can get a bit awkward. Jordan shared the "random run-ins" are "a little uncomfortable from time-to-time," like him being half-naked and running into his mom or dad.

Luckily, he's had a busy year that's made him travel the world to film and promote his work, meaning less awkward run-ins. After the Creed press tour, he signed up to play Black Panther villain Erik Killmonger. Next up, he's scheduled to start filming Creed 2 in April. That means Jordan has to stay in killer shape.

On Ellen, he revealed his regime, which includes drinking tons of water, eating clean, working out two to three times a day and grabbing six meals every day as well. "Do you know how often you have to use the bathroom?" he hilariously asked. "It's hard to go out to a club or a party when you're like, 'Oh, meal prep.'" He even said that he was heading to the gym right after leaving her show.
