Actor Michael B. Jordan is the latest victim in what is becoming a disturbing and dangerous trend: burglaries of stars’ homes.


According to the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department, someone broke into Jordan’s San Fernando Valley home a few weeks ago and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and jewelry. The burglar gained access to the home after smashing a window.


Fortunately, Jordan, 30, was not home at the time of the home invasion and it appears to be a random hit. The authorities are waiting for Jordan to give them a full list of the items taken.

To be sure, stars have always had their homes broken into. But the frequency with which it is taking place now had a disquieting effect on the entertainment community, and none of the biggest names in Hollywood are seemingly exempt.


The Creed star joins the ever growing list of celebrities to fall victim: Alanis Morissette, Emmy Rossum, Nicki Minaj,  and Jaime Pressly had their homes broken into in recent months. Scott Disick, the former boyfriend of Kourtney Kardashian, had his home smashed up this past Sunday.

Jordan, whose middle name Bakari means “noble promise” in Swahili, has starred in three of the most critically acclaimed television dramas of the past decade. He played the hard-shelled but softhearted Wallace in HBO’s dramatic hit series “The Wire” (2002),  as the quarterback Vince Howard on “Friday Night Lights” (2006), and then played a recovered alcoholic on NBC’s “Parenthood” (2010).

Those roles brought Jordan mild fame, but his star power rose exponentially with his first major leading film role when he starred as Oscar Grant in Fruitvale Station in 2013. The movie was an account of an extremely controversial slaying by police officers on a San Francisco train platform on New Year’s Eve. Jordan also starred in other popular films such as Fantastic Four, George Lucas’ Red Tails (2012), the story of the first African American pilots to fly in a combat squadron during WWII, and Creed opposite Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson in 2015.
