Before the debut of his collboration with Calvin Klein, actor Michael B. Jordan needed to call one important person.
His mom.
He called her up to apologize for the blatant thirst trap ads that were about to be everywhere. He said to ET Canada he had to tell her before the ads dropped.
Jordan said:
“I was like, my mama gon’ have to see this."
"Let me call her and be like, ‘I’m sorry. It’s out here'...My business all out in the streets—literally."

The ads certainly do reveal rather a lot of Jordan's, well, everything.

People were quite appreciative of the new ad campaign.

The thirst was real.

When the Calvin Klein account asked if they should drop more from the campaign, someone had a different suggestion.
\u201c@CalvinKlein @michaelb4jordan Drop him off at my address, respectfully\u201d— calvinklein (@calvinklein) 1677504600
Someone wanted to know if gaining Jordan's physique came with a purchase of the underwear.
\u201c@CalvinKlein @MelManBADD @michaelb4jordan Does that body come with the underwear?\u201d— calvinklein (@calvinklein) 1677502801
Others just expressed their love of the brand and their tradition of statement ads.
\u201c@CalvinKlein @michaelb4jordan Oh my I love Calvin Klein.\u201d— calvinklein (@calvinklein) 1677504600
Others were having different problems than the one Jordan identified, with their own moms and this photo shoot.
\u201cI'm really having to endure my mom thirsting over Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors.

But we can agree the Calvin Klein ads aside, this is a continuation of the truly greatest thing about Jordan—how much he obviously cares for his mom.

The ads should be rolling out soon, for those who want to view the whole set—probably not Jordan's mom, though.
