There’s no doubt that Michael B. Jordan has natural charisma and charm. After all, he was People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2020. However, even one of the most handsome leading men has his awkward moments. So, after the internet called out the Oscar winner for his uncomfortable posing on red carpets, Jordan responded in a funny way.
Whether Michael B. Jordan is sporting a casual look at the Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiere or rocking a classy suit at the Golden Globes, the Sinners actor is always stylin’ with an amazing smile. But, funnily enough, Bustle posted a series of red-carpet photos on Instagram showing that the Creed star’s signature pose at these elegant events appears to be clasping his hands together like a waiter.
With social media users joining the bandwagon by commenting about having no problems with the Friday Night Lights actor taking their order, Michael B. Jordan hilariously responded to it all by writing:
🤦🏾♂️😂
Well, it’s nice to know that Jordan’s got a sense of humor about it all. I mean, it may be awkward to pose with your hands together for each photo op. However, I still think he looks like a gentleman as he smiles with grace at the camera.
Now, not only were Instagram users chiming in on the Black Panther actor’s red carpet pose, but so was actor/comedian Kevin Hart. Here was the Jumanji star’s response to Jordan:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hardest thing in the world is finding something to do with your hands on the carpet 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m cackling at this! It should come as no surprise that Hart would josh on Jordan, as he once teased him for getting the Alexa commercial gig instead of him. But the Get Hard actor does make a valid point about not knowing what to do with your hands on the red carpet. Should they be at your hips, in your pockets or behind you? Clearly, The Wire actor came up with his own unique place for his hands, and it’s certainly got us all talking.
Michael B. Jordan isn’t the first actor to get called out for uncomfortable posing on the red carpet. The internet roasted Ashton Kutcher for his red carpet awkwardness at the premiere of Netflix’s Your Place or Mine. Even Matt Damon’s daughter roasted her dad and Ben Affleck for their stiff posing at The Rip premiere. It’s moments like this that we need to remember that we’re all human and even celebrities can have their share of awkward poses even at high-profile events.
So, yeah, Michael B. Jordan may look a little waiter-ish, clutching his hands at each red carpet event. However, you can’t deny that he is serving us some classy perfection every time—even if his pose is screaming, “Can I take your order?”
