Hailee Steinfeld & Michael B. Jordan’s Chemistry Is Off The Charts

If you’ve been on TikTok or Twitter (okay, X) lately, you’ve probably seen the clips. Hailee Steinfeld and Michael B. Jordan’s chemistry is giving bestie energy so strong. Steinfeld and Jordan are in the middle of the press tour for their upcoming supernatural thriller, Sinners, and the vibes have fans questioning if there’s more than just movie magic between them. Spoiler alert: There’s not. But Hailee Steinfeld and Michael B. Jordan’s friendship? It’s 100% real and hilarious.

Directed by Black Panther mastermind Ryan Coogler, Sinners hits theaters on April 18, 2025, and stars Jordan as twin brothers (yes, two of him!) alongside Steinfeld in a still-under-wraps role that’s got everyone buzzing. While the plot is being kept tight-lipped, the press tour has been anything but low-key — and fans are eating it up.

Let’s break down Hailee Steinfeld and Michael B. Jordan’s best BFF moments that prove these two are just vibing, supporting each other, and having a blast — with no romantic strings attached.

“GO AWAY! We’re talking about you!”

One of the internet’s favorite clips came straight from the red carpet at the Sinners premiere. Steinfeld was mid-interview with Entertainment Tonight when the interviewer casually told her to look behind her. She turned around, spotted Michael B. Jordan creeping up, and immediately yelled, “GO AWAY! We’re talking about you!” while laughing. The way they clown each other like siblings? Yeah, that’s not flirty — it’s just straight-up goofy BFF behavior.

Hot Ones Versus Challenge

Steinfeld and Jordan teamed up for a First We Feast “Hot Ones Versus Challenge” episode that can only be described as unhinged in the best way possible. From trying to outlast each other on dangerously spicy wings to teasing each other over weak sauce reactions, it was full of LOLs and messy friendship moments.

The highlight? After Steinfeld won the challenge, Jordan tried to hand her the trophy… but instead of just, y’know, handing her the trophy, he picked up the entire stand it was sitting on. Steinfeld looked confused for two seconds and then burst into laughter. Same, girl. Same

Steinfeld On What It’s Really Like Working With Jordan

In an interview with Jimmy Fallon, Steinfeld opened up about what was like on set with Jordan, saying, “The environment they create is so safe and they just elevate everyone around them.” She didn’t name-drop Jordan directly, but the vibe was clear. There’s mutual admiration, respect, and a lot of laughter between these two. That’s the kind of energy that translates on-screen — and makes press tours actually fun to watch.

Now, let’s address the elephant on the timeline. One fan posted on X:

“Josh Allen gonna have to fight Michael B. Jordan soon the way this press tour is going 😭”

We get it — the chemistry is strong. But this isn’t a love triangle, it’s just top-tier press energy.

Steinfeld is very much engaged to NFL star Josh Allen. The two got engaged in November 2024 and have been super open about their relationship ever since. Josh has even been using his off-season time to accompany Steinfeld to red carpets and press stops, including the Sinners premiere.

So, to all the shippers trying to make something more out of Steinfeld and Jordan’s friendship: respectfully, stand down. Steinfeld and Allen are in love, thriving, and unbothered, while she and Jordan are just having a good time doing their job and hyping each other up as costars.

Catch Sinners in theaters on April 18, and keep the friendship goals coming, please.
