Ever since his affiliation with the Creed franchise, Michael B. Jordan has become a recurring name in the boxing as well as bodybuilding world. While his character in the movie is a part of the boxing arena, his body transformation while preparing for the role has been a sight to see for bodybuilding enthusiasts. Many were curious about his training regime. The Creed star never held back when it came to supplying information about his strict diet and rigorous training. However, some believe Jordan took something more than just diet and training to get that jaw-dropping physique.

On this, IFBB Pro bodybuilder, Greg Doucette, has come out in the actor’s defense. Doucette sarcastically stated that Jordan would fail the steroid test. But he continued by questioning why it matters. Or why should the actor reveal his secret? He also used Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as an example to explain his point.

Earlier today, fitness influencer Greg Doucette took to his Instagram to talk about Jordan’s natty status. The video started with him questioning why Jordan should be a natural. He added, “Is there some moral obligation to be 100% natural? And why would he wanna tell people?”

Mockingly repeating the opinion of the masses, Doucette copied, “Oh! Creed is only like that cause of what he’s taken.” Greg Doucette claimed if Jordan opens up about his natty status many would say they “have no respect for him.” He also believes some people respect The Rock because of how natural he is.

He agreed that Johnson wakes up at 4:30 in the morning every day to train and uses his energy drinks and “rainwater” to take the necessary nutrients, apart from his diet. However, that doesn’t mean the methods used by other actors aren’t respectable. Furthermore, he used the caption of the post to share his message.

Summarizing his message in the caption, Doucette wrote, “@michaelbjordan Adonis Creed would absolutely fail the test…” However, his natty status shouldn’t matter. Sharing his intent behind the video, he added, “Just telling you what you NEED to hear not what you WANT to hear 🤷🏻‍♂.”

Doucette’s statement implied that since Jordan isn’t a professional athlete, his natty status shouldn’t be a matter of concern. Whether or not Michael B. Jordan used steroids won’t take away from the fact he spent hours in the gym training hard to give life to the character of Adonis Creed.
