Actor Michael B. Jordan honored with star on Walk of Fame.

Two days prior to the premiere of “Creed III,” in which Michael B. Jordan reprises his role as heavyweight boxing champion Adonis Creed while making his directorial debut, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled on Wednesday in Jordan’s honor.

Ryan Coogler, who directed the 2015 film “Creed” and was given a “story by” credit for “Creed III,” along with Jonathan Majors, who plays Creed’s adversary in the movie, also spoke during the ceremony, which was held at 6201 Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Funko Hollywood toy store.

On Wednesday at 11:30 a.m., the ceremony was held. Since the first 1,558 stars were added to the Walk of Fame in 1961, there have been 2,751 stars added to the monument.

Jordan made his acting debut in a 1999 episode of “The Sopranos.” He was born on February 9, 1987, in Santa Ana, where he lived for the first two years of his life until moving with his family to Newark, New Jersey. He played the lead in the sports comedy/drama “Hardball” in 2001.

Jordan appeared in the HBO drama “The Wirefirst “‘s season, which aired in 2002. In the character of disturbed adolescent Reggie Montgomery, which he filled in for Chadwick Boseman on the ABC daytime drama “All My Children” from 2003 to 2006, Jordan earned a nomination for best teen at the Soap Opera Digest Awards in 2005.
