Creed III director and star Michael B. Jordan said he was taking in the moment for the first time in a really long time as he received a star at a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Wednesday.

Jordan, who reprises his role as Adonis Donnie Creed in the latest installment in the Rocky universe, looked back on his career as fellow Creed III star Jonathan Majors and filmmaker Ryan Coogler joined him at the ceremony.

I very rarely stop and smell the roses and take in moments, Jordan said. Im always moving on to the next thing. For the first time in a really long time Im taking this moment in.

The actor known for his roles in The Wire, Fruitvale Station and Black Panther said the moment felt like a dream but he said hes been a dream chaser who isnt afraid of hard work.

Majors, who plays Damian Dame Anderson in Creed III, compared Jordans career to the 12 labors of Hercules and described his time on set with his co-star.

When its hot, were tired, his empathetic agility is being pushed to its Nth degree, Majors said. Hes gotta deal with my crazy ass, everybody pulling on him, and Im giving him hell in [the ring], but hes dealing with it with a mythic effort, with a god-like integrity.

He later commented on Jordans star: Today, brother, you go from man to god. You sit among Olympians. ... No man on the planet I know deserves it more. I love you to the moon and back.
