The movie arrived in theaters on March 3, but the leaked images of the duo training on Venice Beach went viral last March, inspiring a lot of online thirst for the stars. Jonathan Majors, who plays Damien “Dame” Anderson, revealed to Men’s Health that his mother and publicist were the ones to inform him of the photos, and he said he embraces the attention he gets for his good looks. In the movie, Adonis “Donnie” Creed (played by Michael B. Jordan) faces off against Dame, who was once his childhood friend. The movie features some very dramatic (and fun) training montages, which were partially immortalized in these set photos.
