In her podcast, she said: “You know what’s so crazy? I went to school with Michael B. Jordan at a point in life and to be honest with you, we teased him all the damn time because his name was Michael Jordan. Let’s start there, and he was no Michael Jordan.”

Lore’l also revealed that the then-aspiring actor came to school with a headshot. We would make fun of him like, ‘What you gonna do with your stupid headshot!?’ And now look at him!,” she said.
During the premiere, she met Jordan in person and the two talked about their school days. “Oh yeah, I was the corny kid, right?” Jordan asked her in a playful manner. “No, you did not hear me say that! I said we used to make fun of the name,” Lore’l said.“I heard it,” Jordan responded to her. “I heard it. It’s all good. What’s up?”
Lore’l then told him that he is not corny anymore. ‘Creed III’ is slated to release theatrically on March 3, 2023. It’s the first in the franchise to not feature Sylvester Stallone.
