- Actor Michael B Jordan really got into his latest role.
While filming for Creed – a Rocky sequel where he plays Apollo Creed’s son Adonis – Jordan, 28, decided to turn down a stunt double.
He might have regretted that in rehearsals with former light heavyweight world title challenger Tony Bellew, who plays world champion Pretty Ricky Conlan in the film, the Daily Mail reported.
The actor took a punch from Bellew, and got knocked out for real.
Jordan’s co-star and original Rocky Balboa, Sylvester Stallone, tweeted a video of the incident:

'Michael B Jordon, "young creed and "getting KO'd for real! But he got up and did it again! That's called guts!!'
Brutal.
In the film Rocky Balboa, the former World Heavyweight Champion, becomes the trainer and mentor of Adonis, the son of his late friend and former rival Apollo Creed. http://www.unilad.co.uk/video/brutal-footage-shows-actor-michael-b-jordan-get-kod-during-training-for-creed/ Didn't look like too hard of a shot, but it did look clean (and it was from an actual boxing champion)! If he leaned into it at the wrong time, I'm not surprised if it put him out for a second or two. | |

Yeah I think it was a perfect storm situation. He leaned into it, and it looked like he did that look-how-knocked-out-I-am wobbly neck thing a split second too early and therefore was way too loose when it connected. Also, the other guy is a former boxing champ, so even if it's a stage punch, it's gonna be solid. | |
