Michael Ealy is trending for how he greeted Meagan Good in front of her man, Jonathan Majors.
The interaction that occurred at the L.A. PowerPlayers Mix & Mingle event has social media buzzing.
When the ‘The Devil You Know’ actor spots Meagan, his glee is evident, and she returns his excitement. Michael gives the 42-year-old a tight embrace. He then lifts the actress off her feet and continues to hug her. After Ealy places her back on the ground, the two hold each other tightly for a few more seconds. Jonathan side-eyes the two as he places items in his man-bag. After Ealy walks away from Megan, he daps up the rapper D. Smoke and his wife, Angelina Sherie. Meanwhile, Meagan seemingly looks at Jonathan with a closed-mouth smile. However, Jonathan’s face is stoic, and he looks away. He makes a comment to a man behind Meagan but seems to avoid eye contact with her.
Although Michael didn’t greet Jonathan in the video, the men reportedly chatted inside the venue beforehand.
Social media is weighing in on the hug heard ’round the world. Some X, formerly known as Twitter, users said Mr. Ealy was doin’ way too much.
Others noted the energy Majors’ was throwing at Michael and Meagan.
Some X users questioned if Michael Ealy was a real-life villain and not just portraying one onscreen.
One woman was all for Michael’s viral embrace.
