Chadwick Boseman, known for multiple iconic roles including the lead in Marvel’s “Black Panther,” died August 28, after four years of silently battling colon cancer.
“During that time, Boseman was seen and pictured looking much smaller in bulk than his character in the global-hit movie,” Insider’s Gabby Landsverk writes. "As is often the case, one picture sparked a million comments, and a discource that took on a momentum of its own.
“Many took that speculation to the comment section of Boseman’s own social media posts.”
It’s not lost on me the way the internet bullied Chadwick Boseman the last two years about his appearance, him looking tired, etc to the point where he began deleting photos while he was fighting for his life. You truly never know what people are going through. BE KIND.
