“If I have to be honest, the truth is, we always made fun of him because his name was Michael Jordan and he was obviously not Michael Jordan,” the girl admitted: “He came to class with his actor. With photos, with his portrait. We lived in Newark, It was in the neighborhood. ‘What are you going to do with that ridiculous photo?’ He’s a nice guy, but frivolous.”

We know each other, Michael, and our history goes back to Chad Academy of Science in Newark.” The visibly upset actor replied: “Yeah, I’m the ‘cheesy guy’, aren’t I?”
Lore’l hadn’t expected that and her obvious nervousness gave her away: “I never said that, it was definitely a misunderstanding,” she replied.
But Jordan was not far behind. “No, I asked, I asked. But everything is fine,” said the actor, trying to finish the topic of conversation. Laurel, on the other hand, wanted to have the last word: “I told you we made fun of your name, but now you’re better and you’re definitely not cheesy anymore,” her ex-partner told her. That unexpected encounter.
At the end of the interview, Laurel concludes by saying, “You’re definitely not a cheesy boy anymore,” referring to the nickname the actor was teased with in school.
