Wait, There’s More

Boseman’s family has issued a statement discussing his life and cinematic legacy.

“A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much,” his family said in the statement. “From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more- all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther.” (Statement)

Chadwick’s social media pages also confirmed his unexpected and shocking death.

Before You Go

In April 2020, social media shared concerns about Chadwick’s health. People went online to weigh-in on pictures of Boseman looking skinnier than usual.

“Chadwick Boseman is definitely on his 50 Cent sh*t” –Twitter

However, some people thought Twitter overrated. One user said Chadwick was naturally skinny.

“I think Chadwick Boseman is just naturally a skinnier guy and just gains weight for certain roles. Here’s a pic of him from 12/2019. Overall I don’t think he wants his Instagram flooded with comments telling him to eat some food”
