Michael B. Jordan reveals his Oscar trophy is in his closet

Michael B. Jordan says his Best Actor Oscar is in his closet because he doesn't know where to display it. He won for "Sinners" at the 2026 Oscars.

"Right now, it's in my closet. - Michael B. Jordan"

Mumbai, April 28

Hollywood star Michael B. Jordan has revealed that his Oscar trophy is currently in his closet as he does not know where to display the trophy permanently.

"Right now, it's, uhh - right now it's in my closet. It's in my closet right now," the 39-year-old star told E! News, when asked where he keeps the trophy he won on March 15, reports people.com.

"It's one of them things that, I don't know, you don't really know where to put it, you know. It's kind of moved around to a bunch of different places."

"But it's off," he added, while moving his right hand to the side to indicate that his Best Actor Oscar win is no longer at the top of his mind.

"(I'm) focused on the next thing right now."

Jordan and his frequent collaborator Ryan Coogler found major success with moviegoers and Oscars voters with last year's hit vampire thriller Sinners, which won four Academy Awards, including Jordan's Best Actor win, at the 2026 Oscars on March 15.

Jordan took home his Best Actor statuette for his dual performance in the movie as the twin protagonists Smoke and Stack.

The actor is next lending his voice to the new Netflix animated movie Swapped, in which he portrays a woodland creature named Ollie who accidentally swaps bodies with a bird named Ivy, Ollie's natural enemy.

Jordan made his directorial debut in 2023 with Creed III, which set a record as the biggest domestic opening for a sports film in North America.

The actor has been feted with honours such as Academy Award, Actor Awards, a Producers Guild Award,British Academy Film Award, a Golden Globe Award and two Emmy Awards. He was named as People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2020.

"This is so relatable, honestly. We Indians have that one 'special' thing—like a family heirloom or a medal—that we keep in the cupboard because we don't know where to put it! 😅 Michael B. Jordan proving he's just like us. And his focus on the next project? That's pure hustle mentality. Respect!"

"I don't mean to be negative, but keeping such a prestigious award in a closet feels a bit careless. 😕 These trophies represent years of hard work and thousands of artists' efforts. He could at least donate it to a museum or display it somewhere meaningful. But hey, his career, his choice. Kudos to him for staying grounded."

"That's actually a very honest and refreshing take. 😄 Most celebs would be posting 100 Instagram stories with their trophies. Michael B. Jordan is like, 'Yeah, it's in the closet, next to my socks.' Gotta love the simplicity. Also, excited for Swapped—Netflix has been really upping their animation game. And who knew he was the Sexiest Man Alive in 2020? 🔥"

"Seriously, this guy is a machine! 🙌 From Creed to Sinners and now directing too. He's like a one-man industry. The fact that he keeps winning awards and still says 'focused on the next thing' shows he's not resting on his laurels. That's the kinda attitude we need in Indian cinema too—less ego, more work!"
