Okay, so here’s the deal. Yesterday, I was chilling, right? And this question popped into my head outta nowhere: “is michael b jordan related to michael jordan?”. Sounds kinda dumb, I know, but I had to find out.
First thing I did, of course, was hit up Google. Typed in “michael b jordan michael jordan related” – simple as that. Got a bunch of articles and forum threads popping up. Skimmed through a few, and the general consensus seemed to be a big ol’ NOPE.
But me? I’m not one to just take the internet’s word for it. Needed some real proof, y’know? So, I dug a little deeper. Started looking for family trees, interviews, anything that could give me a clue.
Went on Wikipedia, checked both their pages. No mention of any familial connection. Strike one.
Then, I tried searching for interviews where they might have been asked about it. Figured if they WERE related, someone would have brought it up at some point, right? Found a couple of articles where Michael B. Jordan addressed the question directly. He basically said they get asked about it all the time, but nah, no relation. Just a coincidence they share the same first name and last name.
Alright, alright. I was starting to believe it. But just to be extra sure, I did some digging on ancestry websites. Tried to see if I could find their family histories and trace them back to a common ancestor. It took a while, and honestly, it was kinda boring, but I eventually came up empty-handed. Different family backgrounds, different parts of the country, no overlap whatsoever.
So, yeah. After all that, I’m pretty confident in saying that Michael B. Jordan and Michael Jordan are not related. It’s just one of those weird coincidences.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:
- Googled it: Obvious first step.
- Wikipedia dive: Looked for any family info on their pages.
- Interview search: Checked for interviews where they addressed the question.
- Ancestry website search: Tried to trace their family trees.
Conclusion? Case closed. Now I can finally sleep at night. Hope this helped anyone else who was wondering the same thing!
