Looks like Black Panther stars Michael B. Jordan and Lupita Nyong’o are just friends guys. In dueling statements to multiple websites, uh, the duo confirmed that they are simply friends “and have never been more”.
“We’re good friends, honestly, we’ve known each other a really long time and respect each other and I love this girl to death,” Jordan tells Entertainment Tonight.
“It’s flattering at the end of the day,” Nyong’o adds. “I think it’s such a rare thing to find people you have good chemistry with and for us to find each other as actors and get to work together; it makes the work richer that we truly enjoy each other’s company on and off screen.”
