After Sylvia Wilson, a Temple University student, found out Michael B. Jordan was filming on her campus, she slid into the actor's DMs to see if she could buy him a smoothie.

As BuzzFeed reported, Wilson said she was surprised to find out that the "Black Panther" star actually replied to her message and she got the chance to meet him in person.
