Michael B. Jordan admits it feels lonely at the top

Michael B. Jordan appeared as a guest on a recent episode of the "On Purpose with Jay Shetty" podcast, where he discussed the ups and downs of being the highly sought-after Michael B. Jordan.

When Shetty inquired about how someone crowned as the Sexiest Man Alive in 2020 navigates the realm of love, Jordan humorously remarked that being a celebrity adds an extra layer of difficulty.

“I love multitasking, I love juggling, the balancing act that I do,” Jordan said. “The worst part is the loneliness that comes with that.”

“There’s a loneliness that I have. The responsibility that you have is isolating, and the weight is isolating,” he went on to say. “So I think the worst part of that is the feeling like nobody really understands and sometimes falling into the spaces of just being alone, feeling alone.”

Shetty asked how the person selected as the Sexiest Man Alive in 2020 finds love, Jordan quipped, “I revert back to the last question. It’s very lonely!”

“And it’s not just, ‘I love you, you love me, that should be enough,’ right? It’s not quite that simple,” he said. “Finding the right person to understand all of me, but then all that comes with me, as well.”

“It would take a very special person to understand and grow with me,” Jordan said. “I want a family.”

The actor and producer, best known for his role in "Creed," was previously associated with Lori Harvey, but their relationship ended in 2022 after a year and a half together.
