Remember when that Philly student successfully slid in Michael B. Jordan's DMs hoping to meet him on the set of Creed II? She was a fan who just wanted a photo with the star, but Jordan himself recently admitted he'd used social media for far less innocent purposes.
According to People, the Black Panther star appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show with DeGeneres and Chrissy Teigen to promote his new Creed sequel. Jordan has lamented his inability to date seriously several times while on his press tour, and with that information in hand, Teigen cut to the chase and asked what we all want to know: if the actor has ever hooked up using social media.
“Yes, I have,” Jordan responded. “I have, I have, I have, I have. I’m human, I’m human. Not often, but yes, I have.”
Of course, he has. Look at him.
He said these sorts of rendezvous don't happen often.
“I’ve been working,” he noted. “I’ve been working crazy. So I’ve not really had the time to properly date.”
We see how you dodged that one!
DeGeneres and Teigen simply nodded and smiled, like, "Uh-huh, sure."
“We don’t buy it,” said DeGeneres. “We all work hard, but we have relationships. So many people have crushes. It must be flattering. There are so many girls who are just crazy about you.”
Teigen offered to help the busy actor find love, mentioning she has a wonderful, single assistant. DeGeneres made good on her promise to help tennis star Naomi Osaka shoot her shot with Jordan by reminding him the Japanese phenom has a huge crush on him.
“We are treating him like a piece of meat,” Teigen said, finally giving up. “He’s a very talented actor.”
Yes, that, too.
Things didn't end after Jordan left the studio. While promoting the episode on Twitter, Ellen couldn't help but rib the actor one last time about his dating preferences:
I’m classier than that…???? (checks DMs slowly) ????????????♂️ https://t.co/zWNbN3TG7G

"Sounds like the way into @MichaelB4Jordan's heart is to slide into his DMs," the comedian wrote, making sure to tag Teigen.
A good sport, Jordan rose the occasion, tweeting back, "I'm classier than that … (checks DMs slowly)."
