Hollywood star Lupita Nyong’o is remembering the late actor, Chadwick Boseman, days after he passed away at the age of 43.
Boseman’s Black Panther costar penned a heartfelt tribute for her dearly departed friend in an Instagram post, recounting how their short friendship had a “profound” effect on her.
“Chadwick was a man who made the most of his time, and somehow also managed to take his time. You got the sense that he was fully present and also somehow fully aware of things in the distant future,” she wrote.
“As a result, I noticed that Chadwick never seemed rushed! He commanded his time with ease,” she went on to say.
“Chadwick’s hands were strong enough to carry the weight of the film and free enough to clasp mine when I needed it… I think he understood the power of words and chose to manifest power through his word. He used his mouth to build, to edify, never to break,” she added.
The coronavirus put a stop to Black Panther 2 production, which was scheduled to start in March. The Hollywood Reporter stated that September would mark the resumption of preparations. “At this moment, I find it difficult to comprehend and accept Chadwick’s passing,” Nyong’o said. Perhaps in due course… I’m going to take my time and swear not to waste it in his honor. I’m hoping you’ll follow suit. My sincere sympathies go out to his friends, family, and devoted wife Simone, who is the one who expressed the words “#TakeYourTimeButDontWasteYourTime” so poignantly.
