Michael B. Jordan is undoubtedly having the best year of his career. Fans fell harder for him with each project he starred in and not just because the young star is easy on the eyes. Whether it was his heart-wrenching performance in the award-winning film Fruitvale Station, starring opposite fellow Hollywood hunk Zac Efron in That Awkward Moment or having a sit down interview with Oprah Winfrey herself, he solidified his place in film as "the one to watch," affectionately earning the nickname Michael "Bae" along the way.

Michael B Jordan to Critcs of Fantastic Four: "Evolve with the Times"

Now, the 27-year-old New Jersey native is gearing for the release of Marvel's newest blockbuster, Fantastic Four to play "The Human Torch." The sequel to the unreleased film is already in the works, so it's safe to say for Michael B. Jordan, Hollywood is definitely paying attention to what he has to offer.

When he's not shooting new projects, he is creating a name for himself behind the scenes. Earlier this summer, he released a fragrance and directed a commercial for Axe. If that wasn't enough to keep him busy, he also revealed his hidden interest in photography by hosting Canon's PIXMA PRO City Senses Pop-Up Tour in Austin, Texas last week.

During an exclusive phone conversation with one of the most crush-able celebrities in pop culture, Jordan discusses who he would choose as his #WCW, what he likes in a woman and his dream role with Enstars.com.

Gia Peppers:  How long have you been interested in photography? I saw your recent Instagram posts and a lot of your followers were impressed by your photography.

Michael B. Jordan: I've been around photos ever since I was a kid. For a really long time, my mom was really big into pictures and taking her own photographs. I spent a lot of time with her learning about photos and just taking pictures. It started pretty much as a hobby, it was nothing I take too serious but when the opportunity came up with Canon's PIXMA PRO City Senses Pop-Up Tour, it was like a perfect collaboration. You know, they wanted to me to host an event here in Austin, I used to live in Austin. Live music was the theme and I'm really big into live music. It was just a good match.

GP: It's been an amazing year for you that we've all been able to watch. Tell me about a moment that you couldn't believe was happening-where you had to pinch yourself.

MBJ: It was probably when I met Oprah. The first time I met Oprah, I had an interview with her, a one-on-one interview with her. That was definitely a pinch myself moment. I grew up with her always on in the background, with my mother watching and my grandmother watching. She was such a staple in my life growing up, it was kind of like surreal to meet her in person and actually be interviewed by her. That was pretty surreal.

             

GP: That's amazing. You've been dubbed one of-if not the hottest-up and coming Hollywood stars. Do you ever feel pressure to pick roles that will be a sure success, now that you are held to a higher standard?

MBJ: No more than I've already put on myself. I think I always put pressure on myself to push towards greatness. I'm always trying to raise the bar of the expectations I put on myself. So not really, I just want to keep doing what I've been doing. I just put the time and the work in to different projects and characters so when it's time for me to go out and film, or anything that I put my mind to, I know I deserve it. No pressure.

GP: If you could write a script for yourself, what role would you write yourself in? What is your dream role?

MBJ: I've always been fascinated with complicated characters that might be a little bit morally incorrect, but at the same time, you understand why they are the way are. The best example I could give is what Heath Ledger did with his "Joker" performance in Dark Knight. It was just something about it that was so mesmerizing to watch, you just wanted to keep your eyes on him. So, a character like that who's kind of a little weird, a little off, a little menacing but there is a method to the madness, is the character I would want to play.

GP: That would be awesome. I would definitely watch that... So let's have some fun. You are big on social media. You use Instagram a lot, you know about #WCW and all of that. So if you could choose, tell me who is your #WomanCrushWednesday?

MBJ: My mom. Yup, my mom is my #WomanCrushWednesday.

GP: Awww, that's so cute!

MBJ: Yup. You ain't getting me in trouble... Nope, nope, nope!

GP: Dang! Okay.

MBJ: That was a nice way to ask though... That was really good.

GBP: Haha! Okay, well then I have another one you better not slip up on. Cuffin' season-Are you participating this year? How are your draft picks rounding out?

MBJ: I haven't participated in "cuffing season" in forever so I... nope. I mean, I don't know. In the foreseeable future I don't see any cuffing...

GBP: So are you saying that you are single?

MBJ: I am single, that's exactly what I'm saying.

GBP: Ok, then for the ladies I have to ask, what are the three things a girl needs to have to catch Michael B. Jordan's eye? Because everyone wants to know!

MBJ: A sense of humor, a sense of loyalty and there's gotta be something about you I find very attractive.
