They play love interests in the big screen boxing movie franchise Creed, and Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson have shown how close they are at their latest premiere.
The two actors have played Adonis ‘Donnie’ Creed and Bianca Taylor over the past three movies, which began with the release of the first back in 2015.
Now they are back again for the third instalment, which will be released in cinemas in coming weeks.
On Wednesday night in London the pair hit the red carpet to promote their movie, which Michael also directed.
Several snaps showed them embracing and laughing together as they prepared to walk into Cineworld in Leicester Square.
They were also joined by other stars of the movie, including Jonathan Majors, who plays Damian Anderson.

This movie follows Adonis after he’s conquered the boxing world and has been thriving in not only his career, but his family life.
But when childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, Damian, resurfaces after serving a long sentence in prison, he is eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring.
