Where’s Wallace at? It’s hard not to think of that famous line from HBO’s The Wire on this rainy afternoon at the Cannes Film Festival while waiting, and waiting, for Michael B. Jordan, the 26-year-old actor still best known for playing that show’s sweet, cornrowed teenage drug dealer Wallace, who was—spoiler alert—heartbreakingly offed in season one. Jordan is “delayed,” says the publicist for his new movie, Fruitvale Station, even though he’s staying at the hotel where we’re supposed to be having lunch. All becomes clear when he finally materializes, a half-hour later, and buries his head in the publicist’s shoulder. “I’m hurting,” he groans, making no attempt to hide his hang-over. “What are you making me do now?”Jordan still bears traces of the kid who played Wallace: He’s wide-eyed and affectless, but now also handsome, buff, and a decade older. »
