Hill tells Jordan in the interview, “You know there’s like a lot of dudes that f—– hate your guts for that…why would you ever set that kind of standard…?” She then asks the actor, “Did you come up with that s– yourself? Did you?”

Jordan responds, “I had a lot of pent-up romance, so it was a lot…I wasn’t able to do a lot of those things in the past, you know, so it was fun. I’m a creative guy!”

“It was kind of on the fly,” he continued. “And then you have to be even more creative because there weren’t a lot of things that were open, you know what I mean?”

He proceeded to call it a good time with Harvey, saying, “I kind of put myself in a tough situation, now I gotta figure out next year…I’m like, huh?”

Per TheGrio, Jordan opened up about why he went public with his romance with Harvey in an interview with People. He shared at the time, “I’m still private, and I want to protect that, but it just felt like it was a moment of just wanting to put it out there and move on…I am extremely happy.”

He continued, “People that know me know my heart. But people that know me for my work . . . they know what I allow them to know. The fact that I’ve been so closed off about a lot of parts of my life was a personal choice. As I’ve gotten older and a little more mature and comfortable in my own skin, I’ve become less concerned about it.”

In his upcoming interview with Hill, the actor also sheds light on Black Panther 2, revealing whether or not his character, Killmonger, will make a reappearance…well, sort of.

“I wish I had more information…if there’s anybody that’s gonna figure it out, Ryan (Coogler) is gonna figure it out, you know? In the sense of like, where the pivot comes in the tragedy we are all dealing with, losing Chadwick (Boseman), I think Marvel and…everybody over there had to figure out what was next, and I haven’t gotten that information one way or another.”
