Naomi Osaka’s crush on Michael B. Jordan has gotten out of hand in the best way.
For her 21st birthday, Ellen DeGeneres sent the tennis champ a picture of a shirtless Jordan.
Happy birthday, @Naomi_Osaka_. I got you a present. @michaelb4jordan

She must have made Osaka blush because she replied “pls block me.”

Well, the Fruitvale Station star intervened and gave Osaka an even better gift. He sent back another topless photo and an invitation to a movie premiere.

DeGeneres, clearly tickled at this development, simply tweeted “You’re welcome, Naomi.”
You’re welcome, Naomi.

Osaka accepted the invite, of course.

“Ellen hit me up and told me she was having you on the show, so I wanted to send my love and support and just say congratulations," Jordan said. "It's a big moment for you, and the way you carry yourself with such humility and grace, it's really amazing to see."
