Fantastic Four may not have exactly been the whopping success we were all expecting, but one thing is certain: Michael B. Jordan is now and forever a total babe. He is both a magnetic actor and has at least one dimple, which is basically enough for me. Michael B. Jordan, I appreciate you. Let me count the ways.

He's in It to Win It
Michael B. Jordan started off with early roles on All My Children and The Wire, but he cemented himself as a fine actor/fine dude as Vince Howard in the last two seasons of Friday Night Lights. This is one of those shows that I can barely get through the titles for — so many emotions, so many feelings! — but I know this: Friday Night Lights is where Jordan really started taking off.

He Can Carry a Comedy
Mindless romantic comedy is my third favorite film genre, and Jordan plays the most charming character in That Awkward Moment. I may blaspheme, but honestly I could have done without both Zac Efron and Miles Teller. Sorry, not sorry.

Oh Yeah, He Can Do Drama Too
Jordan's star turn as Oscar Grant in the award-worthy Fruitvale Station, for all intents and purposes, yanked my figurative heart out of my chest. I laughed, I cried, I cried some more, I curled up in my bed, and so on.

No, Seriously, Cue the Tears
And don't even get me started on his role as recovering alcoholic and misguided love interest Alex on Parenthood — another one of those shows that always ends up being a cry-fest. In this role, he's poignant, he's heartfelt, he's beautiful. Major feels.

His Star Just Keeps On Rising
Jordan has an upcoming starring role in Creed, the newest follow-up to the Rocky series. Hey, Michael: I can't wait to see what you get into next.

And He Can Wear the Hell Out of a Suit
I repeat: Michael B. Jordan can wear the hell out of a suit. I love seeing him at premieres and on red carpets, because he knows how to bring it. Is it too early to deem him fashion royalty?
