Jordan’s](http://time.com/4128234/creed-director-ryan-coogler-michael-b-jordan/) charismatic turn as villain Erik Killmonger in [_Black Panther_](http://time.com/5165022/black-panther-opening-weekend/) has commanded the collective attention of the Internet, some of who have taken it upon themselves to do extensive research into how Jordan lives his life off-camera, which has prompted a response from the actor himself. In an interview last year with [_Vogue_,](https://www.vogue.com/article/73-questions-with-michael-b-jordan) Jordan revealed that he shares a home with his parents and that he’d love to visit Tokyo, Japan because he loves anime, two facts that a Twitter user slyly pointed out might not be as endearing if they hadn’t come from the charming _Fruitvale Station_ actor. As might be expected, the tweet went viral, catching the attention of Jordan himself, who had a pithy clap back to the tweet of his own. > [](https://twitter.com/chrisfrom%5F216/status/966462864272838656) Jordan set the record straight on not only his height and the circumstances of his home, but also staunchly defended his love of anime. > [](https://twitter.com/michaelb4jordan/status/966827329434669056) And less anyone not take his investment in the world of anime seriously, Jordan doubled down on his defense of it. > [](https://twitter.com/heartofmani/status/966828171319500800) > [](https://twitter.com/michaelb4jordan/status/966828379583467520) Looks like it’s not only Killmonger who’s got people in their feelings. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5173651/michael-b-jordan-defends-anime-twitter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5173651/michael-b-jordan-defends-anime-twitter/"},"headline":"Michael B.
