Tessa Thompson takes hilarious dig at ‘Creed’ co-star Michael B. Jordan
Tessa Thompson speaks candidly about her dating life as she takes a dig at her former co-star, Michael B. Jordan.
The American actress reflected on her special connection with Jordan after they worked together for all three Creed movies at the American Cinematheque Awards.
“Mr. Jordan and I began our onscreen relationship playing soulmates, Adonis and Bianca Creed, over a decade ago,” said the 42-year-old, per PEOPLE.
Thor: Ragnarok actress mentioned, “And for better or worse, it is to date the longest relationship that either of us has ever been in.”
“That’s showbiz, baby,” she remarked.
Annihilation actress explained that she and Jordan shared some unconventional bonding experiences while working together, which she believes helped strengthen their friendship.
“We even, actually, as our character couple, went to therapy together, something that many couples should do, but don’t,” pointed out Tessa.
Therefore, the Little Woods actress further said that the point is “I know my work husband extremely well”.
“I have watched my workplace spouse evolve immensely and grow tremendously, but at the same time, not change one bit,” stated Thompson.
Selma actress gushed, “Jordan is still the same kind, humble, liable to hug someone when entering a room, strong and sensitive human being that he was many moons ago, when we met in a casting office somewhere in the valley, and someone said, ‘Now have chemistry’.”
Meanwhile, Thompson discussed Jordan’s work ethic, stating, “You treat crew like a community. Everyone’s seen and heard. You embody excellence without ego.”
“You are what it means when power meets empathy, something that sadly is in short supply. And you lead with heart, not armour, which is effectively what makes you steal the hearts of so many,” she added.
