Michael B. Jordan and Denzel Washington are hitting the red carpet at the premiere of their new movie!

The 34-year-old actor and the 66-year-old actor/director posed together at the premiere of A Journal for Jordan held on Thursday night (December 9) at AMC Lincoln Square Center in New York City.

Also in attendance were fellow cast members Chanté Adams, Jalon Christian, and Robert Wisdom.

Other guests in attendance included Andrew Rannells and Insecure actor Kendrick Sampson.

Directed by Denzel, A Journal for Jordan is based on the true story of Sergeant Charles Monroe King (played by Michael), a soldier deployed to Iraq who begins to keep a journal of love and advice for his infant son.

Back at home, senior New York Times editor Dana Canedy (played by Chanté) revisits the story of her unlikely, life-altering relationship with King and his enduring devotion to her and their child (played by Jalon).

Earlier that day, Michael was seen wearing a black crushed velvet bomber jacket and maroon trousers to his appearance on Live with Kelly & Ryan and a tan suit to his interview on The View.

A Journal for Jordan will be out in theaters on Christmas Day. You can watch the trailer here!

FYI: Michael is wearing a Valentino outfit at the premiere.

Kendrick Sampson, who you may know from the hit show Insecure, posted a very sexy photo on Valentine’s Day…and the content of the post has fans talking!

The 32-year-old actor shared a shirtless photo with the caption, “Ready for my big date tonight. Guess who it is 😏🖤 Swipe for a big hint…”

As you keep swiping, Kendrick keeps zooming in on his hand.

A short time later, Kendrick responded in his Instagram comments, writing, “Y’all be careful what y’all say in these comments. My date might be pretty but def got them… hands.”

He also posted several replies to fans and celebs who loved the content, and the raunchy nature of the post.

Kendrick has been busy filming Insecure alongside Issa Rae – see the pics!

Filming for Insecure is officially underway!

Issa Rae and Kendrick Sampson filmed a scene on a city bench on Wednesday afternoon (February 10) in Los Angeles.

The 36-year-old actress looked pretty in an all tan outfit while the 32-year-old actor sported a gray jacket and maroon basketball shorts for their scene.

Kendrick wrapped his arms around Issa while she rested her head up against his as they shared a laugh while filming.

Issa took to Instagram a few weeks ago to mark the first day of filming the fifth season Insecure.

“First Day of Season Bye-ve #InsecureHBO,” Issa wrote while posing outside of her trailer.

Issa announced last month that the upcoming fifth season of Insecure would be its last.

The final season of Insecure is expected to premiere later this year.

Insecure actor and activist Kendrick Sampson was attacked by police in Cartagena, Colombia and it was caught on video by a Good Samaritan.

The 32-year-old actor posted the video on his social media and explained what happened to him.

“Cartagena is AMAZING but this is the 6th time I was stopped in 5 days. It happens to Black Colombians often. I’m told stopping is policy but what is NOT is they reached down my underwear aggressively, slap my arms 5 times hard, punch me in my jaw and pull his gun on me,” Kendrick posted. “He then cuffed me and dragged me through the streets. I did not resist any legal procedure. Thank u for posting @nataliareyesg & for helping me through this. And to the person who recorded this.” We are linking to the video right here, but want to include a trigger warning as it includes police brutality.

He also gave his followers updates on his Instagram Story about the process he followed afterwards to report this violence.

Kendrick was a victim of police brutality during a Black Lives Matter protest earlier this year.

We are hoping Kendrick is doing okay and will update when we hear more.
