Michael B. Jordan on that terrible interview: Glad I 'took the high road'




Remember that horrible interview that the Fantastic Four cast had to sit through where the host couldn't believe that a white actor and a black actor could play siblings and also asked why a "hot" woman would ever cut her hair? Yeah, that was awful.

Michael B. Jordan, who has had to deal with his fair share of nonsense ever since it was announced that he was going to play a traditionally white superhero, spoke to the Huffington Post about the interview:
"Sometimes journalists use that room as a safety net to kind of say whatever they want and ask questions that they would never normally ask you outside of that room. So, as actors, sometimes we feel the pressure to always say what you're supposed to and kind of put your best foot forward (in) promoting the film."
But Jordan admitted that questions like that do hurt. He continued:
"But we're still people. We're still human. So that kind of bothers us. But you know, at the end of the day, we don't want to bring the attention to ignorance, and we always take the high road on these things and move forward."
