Just a few years ago, actor Michael B. Jordan was named People’s 2020 Sexiest Man Alive, and he's lived up to the title both in his movies and our dreams. Jordan's shirtless Instagram posts and enviable height could make any woman fall head over heels for the sexiest man alive and luckily for all of us, Jordan is officially back on the market. During his recent Saturday Night Live appearance, the actor referenced his recent breakup with Lori Harvey and revealed that he can be found on the dating app Raya. 

The actor got his start in Hollywood early on, appearing in TV shows like The Wire as a young teen, and later Friday Night Lights and Parenthood. His breakthrough film role came in 2013, when he starred in Ryan Coogler's Fruitvale Station, and since then he's had a number of box office hits. 

On his 36th birthday, L’OFFICIEL celebrates Jordan with a look at his best movie roles to date.
