Michael B Jordan wouldn't have made it without the love and support of his mother

Michael B Jordan wouldn't have made it without the love and support of his mother.

The 39-year-old actor - whose role in Sinners earned him the Actor Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role during Sunday's (01.03.26) ceremony - paid a heartfelt tribute to his mother during his acceptance speech, and he later opened up more about how much she has helped him achieve things he could never have done without her.

Visibly emotional, he told Extra: "Not even close, you know. Not even a little bit...

"There's been so much in my career my mom wasn't able to be with me in these spaces, you know. So for her to join me on this run it couldn't happen any other way."

During his speech, he thanked his mother for all the effort she put into helping him achieve his dreams.

He said: "Mom, thank you for driving me back and forth to New York when we didn’t have money for the Holland Tunnel, or when we were looking for gas money and parking spaces.”
