Michael B. Jordan is shifting gears creatively these days, but while directing has taken over most of his schedule, it’s also made him reflect on what he wants beyond his career. In a new conversation with David Letterman for the upcoming season of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, the actor talked about how predictable his routine has become during this phase of his life. “My life is boring,” he joked, explaining that the demands of directing tend to keep him locked into long stretches of work with very little room for spontaneity.
Letterman teased him in return, saying that if Jordan thinks his world is dull, he should “follow me around,” before sharing the everyday rhythms of his own married life—errands, dogs, grocery runs, even a mission to buy celery. Jordan laughed at the comparison but admitted that the workload leaves limited space for anything outside of film.
Even so, he revealed he’s been thinking more about what starting a family might look like. Without rushing into anything, the 38-year-old said he’s considering easing into the idea of fatherhood. He explained it with humor, outlining a personal starter plan before taking that leap. “I figure I got to start off with like plants and dogs,” he said. Building on that thought, he added, “If I can take care of a plant, I can take care of the dog. If the dog’s cool, then I have a shot.”
The interview gives fans a candid glimpse of Jordan at a moment where his career is evolving, and he’s imagining long-term life changes beyond the screen. Viewers can catch the full episode when it premieres on Netflix on December 16th.
