Tessa Thompson recently reminisced and reflected on the roles that made her a big star in an “ELLE” interview. From “For Colored Girls” and “Passing” to her most recent film, “Creed III,” Thompson spoke about all.

Angelique Jackson It’s been a big week for Mila Davis-Kent, the 10-year-old actor who stars opposite Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson and Jonathan Majors in “Creed III.” Last Monday, she was getting glammed up for the film’s Los Angeles premiere, decked out in a hot pink, custom Elie Saab dress and throwing faux punches for photographers outside the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Inside the theater, Davis-Kent joined Jordan to introduce the film. “I just want to say I’m so lucky to be a part of this cast, this wonderful family. I got to work with wonderful people that I met,” Davis-Kent signed to the crowd, alongside her interpreter. “I hope that you enjoy the film, and I really hope that it will inspire you to learn American Sign Language.”

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Micheal B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson prepped for “Creed III” in an unusual way: “Mike and I actually went to therapy together,” Thompson recently revealed to Refinery29. “We did couples therapy.” Thompson stars in the “Creed” franchise as Bianca, Adonis’ longtime love interest and a successful music producer. The two are married and have a child in “Creed 3,” but Adonis’ unwillingness to open up about his past drives a minor wedge between them. The actors processed their characters’ relationship by attending couples therapy in character as Adonis and Bianca. “Yes, in character, but it ended up being like — the line sometimes between character and us get blurred because we bring so much of what we’re exploring personally to the characters in general,” Thompson said. “So funnily, it was the first time…I’m probably saying too much. I’ll say it was an early experience in couples therapy for us both [personally], but it was as these characters, which is very weird.”

An incredible bond. Starring in the most prominent boxing movies of the past generation, many moviegoers might be stumped by the question of if Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson are dating IRL because their on-screen chemistry is so believable.
