Actor, Michael B. Jordan has been taking technique tips from actor and boxing promoter Sylvester Stallone.
The 28-year-old, Michael appears alongside the Hollywood legend in the eagerly awaited sports drama "Creed" which features one of Sylvester's most famous characters, Rocky Balboa.
"Sly is savvy! He actually gave me some style tips. I'm a man who loves wearing suits, but he has more suits than I do." Michael's answer when he was asked what he gathered from working with Stallone.
Michael shared to US Weekly. ''I remember one time he came in just completely overdressed. He just completely blew me out of the water. I was like, 'This is never happening again!' And he was like, 'You always need to come prepared.' So from then on, whenever I'm at an event with him, I'm coming correct!''
He also stated that despite Stallone's advancing years, he continues to be a capable boxer, saying, ''He taught me how to throw punches and hit me in my chest a couple times. Old dog's still got a little bite to him!''
Michael revealed that since working with the 69-year-old, Oscar nominated actor, he's made a united effort to improve his appearance at public events.
On July 2013, it was announced that Jordan will portray the role of the son of Apollo Creed in the Rocky's spinoff Creed, a film directed by Ryan Coogler, that will also feature Sylvester Stallone.
Jordan prepared for his role as a boxer in Creed by undertaking one year of accurate physical training and a strict low-fat diet.
He did not have a body double during filming and was "routinely bloodied, bruised and dizzy" when fighting scenes were being filmed.
On 2014, Jordan was one of the cast of Josh Boone's Pretenders, and he co starred in That Awkward Moment, with Zac Efron and MilesTeller.
While in 2015, he starred as Johnny Storm, the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movie.
On November 25, he will star in the first trailer for the upcoming Rocky spinoff Creed as Adonis Creed, the son of Rocky Balboa's (Sylvester Stallone) former enemy in the octagon, Apollo Creed.
Though Apollo died before Jordan's character was born, boxing runs through his blood, leaving him no choice but to seek out Stallone as a potential trainer.
