After taking home the Academy Award for Best Actor, Michael B. Jordan celebrated the moment in a way that felt distinctly Los Angeles. Instead of heading directly to an afterparty, the Sinners star made a late-night stop at the beloved West Coast burger chain In-N-Out Burger, where he ordered one of the restaurant’s signature burgers.
Jordan’s appearance quickly drew attention from customers inside the restaurant, many of whom recognized the actor moments after he walked in holding his Oscar statue. Several people began recording the unexpected visit as cheers and congratulations filled the room. In videos circulating online, Jordan is seen smiling at the counter while posing with the award and standing beside trays of food as patrons shouted his name.
The actor had just secured his first Oscar earlier in the evening for his dual role as Smoke and Stack in Sinners. The performance placed him ahead of nominees including Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, and Wagner Moura.
Jordan’s quick burger run served as a brief pause before the night’s celebrations continued elsewhere. Later that evening he appeared at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where he posed for photos while holding the gold statuette that capped off a historic night for the actor and the film.
