Hollywood star Michael B Jordan was on the sidelines as the USC Trojans battled the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday. After the "Black Panther" actor was introduced to the crowd, a fan in the arena held up the actor’s poster from the movie "Creed."

After jokingly questioning the turn of events, Jordan utilized a timeout to sign the poster for the young fan.

The fan also asked Jordan for a hug, resulting in a roaring Galen Center crowd. The program posted the instance on its Instagram on Wednesday.

"Making dreams come true at 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝙇𝘼𝗖𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗕𝗘. ✌️," the post read.

Fans stormed the post to highlight their favorite moment of the exchange:

"😂…she’ll STILL have on that sweater after the Thanksgiving break, potato salad stains and all!" a fan wrote.
"Is that her bf in the background?😂 Poor guy.," another fan commented.
"N that sweater was never washed again," another fan joked.

More fans joined in to commend the fans' confidence to ask Michael B Jordan for a hug:

"He was really not about hug her 🤭 and also… closed mouths don’t get fed 🤷🏾‍♂️ I wouldn’t have had the guts to ask," another fan commented.

Michael B Jordan was not the only star at the USC game

A handful of celebrities were present at Galen Center to witness the big matchup between the USC Trojans and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Alongside Michael B Jordan, musician Snoop Dogg and "Horrible Bosses" actor Jason Sudeikis were other Hollywood names in the arena.

Trojans basketball product Cheryl Miller was also present along with other women’s basketball big names like Candace Parker, Chiney Ogwumike and Cameron Brink.

Snoop Dogg took his support to another level as he donned a customized JuJu Watkins-themed jacket. With USC colors all over it, the jacket featured Watkins’s name and image on the front along with her last name and jersey number on the back.

Unfortunately for Snoop and co., Notre Dame defeated USC, 74-61, to hand the Trojans their first loss of the season.
