Angelica Ross Says She Went on a “Date” with Michael B. Jordan… Except He Didn’t Know It Was a Date. Girl, We’ve ALL Been There
Okay, ladies, raise your hand if you’ve ever mentally married a man mid-conversation, planned your kids’ names, and then realized… he thinks y’all are just friends. Yeah, well, Angelica Ross just shared that exact scenario—except her leading man wasn’t some guy from Bumble. Oh no, sis went straight to the top shelf: Michael. B. Jordan.
Yes. MBJ. Creed. Killmonger. Human protein shake. That one.
Angelica—trans icon, actress, activist, and lowkey rom-com queen—dropped the story on social media like it was no big deal. But the internet? Lost. Its. Mind.
She started with:
“Flashback to our first date @michaelbjordan ”
Ma’am. You can’t just open a post like that without warning! Hearts were skipping beats and Wi-Fi connections were glitching. But then came the twist:
“To be clear, you had no idea it was a date, but I was in Lalaland with you ”
Whew. Sis said “delulu but with dignity.”
According to Angelica, they were having a deep convo about misogyny and the LGBTQ+ experience in the Black community (you know, light date stuff). Meanwhile, she’s over here giving “first date magic” while Michael’s probably thinking, “Wow, this is such a cool new friend who is very enthusiastic.”
Then came the ultimate plot twist: when it was time to go, Angelica hopped in a van and started gushing to the other girls like it was a post-date recap over mimosas. But wait for it—
“I realized one of the girls was your sister ”
NOOOOOOO. Ma’am. Abort mission. That’s your sign from the universe to shut it all the way down.
She ended the post with, “I kept it cute, but will never forget what a gentleman you were. Can we go back???” And honestly, that’s not even a question—it’s a petition we all want to sign.
Now look, Michael B. Jordan hasn’t said a word about it (yet), but let’s be real: this story is giving Netflix Original, and we need a dramatized reenactment starring Angelica herself.
The internet, naturally, spiraled. One commenter wrote, “Sis was in the friend zone but packed for the honeymoon.” Another said, “Michael B. Jordan taking someone on a surprise non-date is very on-brand tbh. He just gives ‘accidental heartbreaker.’”
But real ones know—this was actually kind of beautiful. A Black trans woman got to spend real time with one of the most in-demand men in Hollywood, had a thoughtful convo, felt safe, respected, and left with a heartwarming memory (and a mini heartbreak, but still).
And Angelica? She told her story with humor, grace, and the kind of self-awareness that screams, “I know I was reaching, but I reached FABULOUSLY.”
Plus, let’s be honest. If MBJ even breathes in your direction, you’re allowed to think it’s a date. That’s just science.
So what’s the takeaway here?
