Michael B. Jordan Did the Impossible

Michael B. Jordan glided into the wine library at his hotel seemingly unaware that, for a man who plays a vampire in his latest movie, the ambience he’d chosen was a little on the nose. It was a Monday afternoon in May, and outside, midtown Manhattan was a sunny 73 degrees, but our windowless meeting room shielded us from the light. As I scanned the bottles of red liquid lining the walls, a server shuffled in to ask Jordan if he would like something to drink.
