Michael B. Jordan Explains Why He’s Not a Dad Yet

by

Michael B. Jordan recently explained his reasons for not having children, and his comments sparked a lot of discussion online.

I recently caught a preview of David Letterman’s next Netflix interview, and it featured a fascinating reveal from the actor who’s been getting so much buzz for his performance in Sinners. He shared some really interesting thoughts, and it definitely piqued my interest in both the interview and his work!

I was reading about Michael Jordan the other day, and it was such a fun little story! Apparently, he was chatting with David Letterman over a game of darts, and the conversation somehow turned to starting a family. Jordan said he’s definitely hoping to have kids eventually, but he’s taking baby steps – literally! He joked about wanting to start with plants and dogs to get the hang of being a caretaker. And Letterman, quick as ever, quipped back, ‘So, plants, dogs, then humans!’ It was just a really charming little exchange.

Jordan and the other person both laughed. Jordan then said, “That’s the logic, you get what I mean. If I can successfully care for a plant, I think I’m ready to get a dog—as long as it has the right personality.”

The video quickly became popular online, and many people commented that caring for plants or pets is different than raising children.

People were quick to point out the difference, with one person saying, “It’s not even comparable.” Another joked, “Unlike dogs and plants, kids are constantly asking questions!” Someone else highlighted the one-sided nature of conversations with teenagers, saying, “You can’t have a back-and-forth with a dog or a plant like you do with these kids.” A final commenter added that teenagers often talk back and have unrealistic expectations about money.

However, many fans supported Jordan and said they sympathized with his point of view. Several people also mentioned they had thought about getting a plant or pet first, as a way to practice being responsible before having kids.

Jordan seems well-prepared for becoming a parent, starting with taking on more responsibility now. While some on social media have varied opinions, many viewers appreciated his openness about his life and what he envisions for the future.
