Tribute to Chadwick Boseman

Lupita Nyong’o has shared a moving tribute to her Black Panther co-star and friend Chadwick Boseman, after he passed away after a four year battle with colon cancer.

She wrote,

“It doesn’t make sense. The news is a punch to my gut every morning. Chadwick was a man who made the most of his time, and somehow also managed to take his time.

When we came together to make Black Panther, I remember being struck by his quiet, powerful presence… Chadwick’s hands were strong enough to carry the weight of the film and free enough to clasp mine when I needed it.”

Since the actor’s death, friends and fans have spoken of the impact his work had on them.
