Michael B Jordan shows off his chiseled muscles in sizzling shirtless snaps for Men’s Health

He is one of the most desirable leading men in Hollywood.

And Michael B Jordan showed why while going shirtless in a smoldering new photo-shoot for Men’s Health magazine.

The 34-year-old put his musclebound torso on display as he went without a top and posed in lotus position in front of a dazzling ocean view.

Michael demonstrated his strength in another sizzling shirtless snap that showed him hauling a lava stone while walking underwater.

In a more casual picture he modeled a white tank top with olive green trousers and a bit of jewelry, lounging against the side of a car. 

The That Awkward Moment star flashed his megawatt smile for the camera in the photo-shoot which was accompanied by an interview.

Michael, whose Black Panther co-star Chadwick Boseman succumbed to cancer last year aged 43, reflected on how bereavement has shaped him.

He confessed: ‘I think about legacy a lot. What I leave behind is something that I think about a lot. This past year brought a lot of that to the forefront of my brain. Everybody’s had their share of loss in one way or another.’

Michael explained: ‘I lost a friend in Chadwick. There are a lot of things that I want to accomplish, and I know time is limited and life is short, [so] I try to not take it for granted. It’s really made me focus on that.’

The Hollywood heartthrob is currently dating Steve Harvey’s daughter Lori but has in general been scrupulously tight-lipped about his private life.

However he has developed a relaxed view of public opinion and now feels: ‘For all the success that I’ve had, there’s going to be negative reactions and opinions thrown at me. That just comes with it. When you’re younger, you’re just frustrated, but when you start to realize that this is what it is, you start to understand.’  

Michael added: ‘I’m never going to make everybody happy. People are always going to have their opinions about me. People can make up something completely false that has no f***ing substance or anything, and there’s going to be 100,000 people that are going to believe it and that’s going to be their opinion of me.’

He noted: ‘I can’t do anything about that, and I’ve just got to accept that and keep moving in my purpose. People that know me know my heart. But people that know me for my work…they know what I allow them to know.’

Michael declared: ‘The fact that I’ve been so closed off about a lot of parts of my life was a personal choice. As I’ve gotten older and a little more mature and comfortable in my own skin, I’ve become less concerned about it.’ 

The Creed star also let his fans into some details about his workout regimen including that his cardio of choice is swimming.

‘It’s low impact, full body,’ he dished. ‘You work your upper body, your core, your legs, your breathing. Your breath is so important for your mental state, staying calm. Swimming really helps me, because I’ve had so many injuries; the water keeps my joints comfortable. I often use it as a warmup for my strength workout.’

He revealed he likes to listen to B.B. King Freestyle by Lil Wayne and Drake while exercising – and that during a cheat meal he will indulge in lasagna. 

Michael’s new interview comes weeks after Steve Harvey appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and joked about his daughter’s boyfriend.

‘Well, first of all let’s be clear about something. He is a nice guy but he is NOT the sexiest man alive to ME at ALL,’ he vamped.

‘Who is the sexiest man alive to you?’ Jimmy asked Steve to which the Family Feud host vamped: ‘Me!’ before saying seriously of Michael: ‘I like him, man.’
