Ana Navarro MELTS in Her Chair After Michael B. Jordan Growls at Her Live on AirāAnd the Internet Canāt Get Enough
When Michael B. Jordan steps into the studio, sparks fly. But when he leans in and unleashes a vampire growl straight into Ana Navarroās directionālive on The Viewāwhat follows is one of the funniest and most unforgettable moments daytime television has seen in 2025.
On a recent episode of The View, Jordan appeared alongside director Ryan Coogler to promote their new Prohibition-era vampire thriller, Sinners. But what began as a typical promotional interview quickly turned into something far more viral.
š„ A Vampiric Growl Heard āRound the Studio
While explaining how he developed the growl for his bloodthirsty character, Jordan gave viewers a tasteāliterally. Ana Navarro, clearly intrigued (and possibly a little smitten), asked him to demonstrate the sound right then and there. Jordan obliged, turning slightly toward her with a devilish smirk before letting out a deep, guttural growl.
Navarro didnāt even try to hide her reaction. She dramatically melted into her chair, fanning herself as the audience burst into laughter. Her co-hosts gasped, laughed, and egged her on, with the moment instantly becoming the talk of the internet.
āIām not okay,ā Navarro joked, clutching the armrest while trying to regain composure.
Jordan, ever the charmer, simply smiled and shrugged as if to say, āWhat? I warned you.ā
š¬ Sinners ā A Gritty Horror with a Killer Cast
The moment wasnāt just a PR stuntāJordan and Coogler were promoting a high-stakes supernatural drama. In Sinners, Jordan plays twin brothers who return to their hometown only to uncover a vampire underworld lurking beneath Prohibition-era glamour.
The film also stars Hailee Steinfeld, Li Jun Li, Jayme Lawson, Omar Benson Miller, and Jack OāConnell as the haunting villain Remmick. With Coogler writing, producing, and directing, Sinners promises the kind of stylish horror and social undercurrents fans have come to expect from his work.
š± Jordanās Fear of Horror⦠and Why He Took the Role Anyway
During the segment, Jordan confessed something surprising: he’s not a big fan of horror moviesābecause they scare him. āI get scared easily,ā he laughed. āSo I figured if I made one, maybe it would help.ā And did it work?
āYeah. Because even in the scariest scenes, we were just cracking up behind the camera,ā Jordan said. āItās hard to be scared when youāre wearing fangs and fake blood and everyoneās laughing their heads off.ā
Coogler agreed, sharing that the set often felt more like a comedy than a horror film. āItās funny when your actorās dripping in blood and screaming, and youāre behind the monitor giggling because itās all so absurd,ā he said.
š¬ Social Media Reacts: āAnaās Not the Only One Who Meltedā¦ā
Unsurprisingly, the internet went wild over the moment. Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to say things like:
āAna Navarro is every woman when Michael growled. I wouldāve fainted.ā
āGive that man an Oscar just for the growl.ā
āThis clip needs to be preserved in the Library of Congress.ā
Even The Viewās official account reposted the clip, captioning it: āThat growl? Weāre still recovering.ā
