The fitting before a major shoot can be demanding, it can be vulnerable—but Michael B. Jordan’s for Vogue was on another level. At the Adelphi, Condé Nast’s headquarters in central London, the Oscar winner and October 2026 cover star got his hair and makeup done, he browsed the racks, and he gamely answered a flurry of questions from all sorts of curious staffers.
Jordan’s favorite snack? Dried mango. His favorite hobby? Cooking. How about his favorite color? Purple. And where does he keep that aforementioned Academy Award, picked up this year for his dual leading roles as Smoke and Stack in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners? In his closet. The first role that he can remember playing? A lifetime ago, Jordan had a teeny-tiny part on The Sopranos. How about the actor that most influenced his career? He names not one, but four: Denzel Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, and Tom Cruise. And there’s a lot more personal lore where that came from.
