Michael B. Jordan cringes while watching footage of himself taking a real punch from a boxer

TwitterFacebook

Acting usually means pretending — but not always. Sometimes it gets a whole lot more real than that.

During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Michael B. Jordan spoke about the time he took an actual punch from boxer Tony Bellew while filming Creed.

On The Late Late Show, Jordan demonstrated to host James Corden just how quick he can actually move them.

In a game of good old try-to-slap-my-hand-before-I-move-it-away, Jordan beat a shrieking James Corden pretty convincingly.

‘Creed II’ is no ‘Creed’, but it packs a solid punch all the same

In some ways, Creed II feels like a regression from its predecessor, a step back into the shadows of the Rocky franchise. 
Where 2015’s Creed used that legacy to forge something new, Creed II leans hard on Rocky nostalgia, rehashing Rocky IV’s C…
