In the view of his niece and nephew, Michael B. Jordan is most definitely not a sinner. As he sought the assistance of his older sister Jamila Jordan-Theus' children Lenox and Zorah to unveil the teaser for his new Netflix animated film Swapped launching on May 11, the recently crowned Oscar winner's saintliness was undoubtedly on full display.

Lenox said, "Hi, this is my Uncle Mike!" while sitting on the lawn with Michael in a video posted to TikTok on April 2. Lenox's smile was as bright as the sunshine yellow shirt he was wearing.

Uncle Mike leaned over to help Zorah remember her phrase, "Hope you like it," after introducing the preview.

The nephew of the Black Panther actor kept grinning at the camera throughout, and just as the trailer was thrown in, she waved both hands and grinned even more.

Although Michael, who also has a younger brother named Khalid Jordan, enjoyed working with his nephew on the entertaining video, he previously talked about how difficult it was to keep the little tot safe when he was growing up.

“He’s mobile now,” when his nephew was about 16 months old, the 39-year-old stated this during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2021. “He’s figuring out his legs work. You take your eye off him and in one second, he’s out of here, he’s gone.”

The former cast member of All My Children stated that he was considering starting a family of his own, but he would break with tradition by not naming his future boy after his father, Michael A. Jordan.

“I am breaking that cycle right there,” he added. “It’s too much, just like the pressure I had to live up to my dad’s name and I’m not going to put that on my kid. I’m going to give him his own identity. He’s got to walk in his own shoes.”

What is Michael's current status in terms of his timeline for being a father?

“I want kids one day, but I figure I gotta start off with, like, plants and dogs,” on a December episode of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction on Netflix, he made this statement. “If I can take care of a plant, I should be able to get a dog. If the dog is cool, then I have a shot.”
