While we are still reeling from the death of Muhammad Ali, numerous celebrities and public figures are continuing to give their own tributes in memory of “The Greatest.” Actor Michael B. Jordan posted a photo on Instagram, paying homage to a classic 1961 photo shoot from the boxer. Ali’s photo shoot was done by the late photographer Flip Schulke.
Jordan posted the photo with the caption “Respect to the GOAT. Your legacy will live forever!”
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jordan spoke about Ali’s death, saying, “to have his life pass away is tragic, but you’ve got to celebrate his life. He lived a really, really long life; [it was] purposeful, he inspired tons of people.”
While he was Adonis Creed in the boxing flick, Creed, you won’t be seeing Jordan portraying Ali on-screen anytime soon. The Game actor Pooch Hall will be the latest actor to play Ali, in the upcoming film, The Bleeder.
