ATLANTA — Within a 5 days span, Yahya McClain buried his brother and then his mother. Following the deaths, McClain was hesitant about auditioning for “Creed III,” but instead of giving up, he let his mother and his brothers voice guide him to not only landing the role, but a chance opportunity of him reading the script, he increased his part in the movie substantially. McClain, a former two-time world champion in his own right, is now a part of cinema history, as “Creed III,” is the number one movie in theatres and, the number one sports movie of all-time. McClain holds down the role as trainer to actor Jonathan Majors [Damian Anderson in the movie]. Since, McClain also landed a role on the popular Starz show, “BMF,” and a new feature film on the ALLBLK Network titled, “Lola 2.” The red-hot champion turned actor credits God’s timing and his mother and brothers’ inspiration for his string of blessings.
