Michael B Jordan celebrates his Oscar win with a sweet tribute to his younger self.
The “Black Panther” actor won Best Actor at the 98th Academy Awards on March 15 for his performance in “Sinners.”
And to commemorate one of the most important victories of his career, he paid tribute to his younger self by posting a throwback to his youth.
Jordan also took his trophy to a famous burger restaurant called In-N-Out, apparently after receiving the award and posing for a photo while eating the burger.
He wrote in the caption, “A child, a dream and a burger,” along with a hamburger emoji.
He also posted a video of himself ordering at the counter of the burger outlet while surrounded by people taking pictures of him.
Jordan became the sixth black actor to ever win an Oscar in the Best Actor category. He also gave a shout-out to black actors who won the award in previous years.
Recently, Jordan’s old clip from the 2000s resurfaced on the Internet as he spoke to the daytime talk show host Soap Talk about how he got his All My Children role.
“I came in for the audition for All My Children, and I didn’t get it at first and… Reggie Porter was played by, I’m not sure what the guy’s name was, but [he only played him] two shows, and then they called me again to read through it again, and I got it,” Jordan, then a teenager, recalled. So I guess it was meant to be.
