Chadwick Boseman
43 years old.
My God, he was so fucking young. He had so many stories left to tell, so many roles to embody, so much work left unfinished. He got into acting to write and direct - he talked about it so many times, in so many interviews. When I think about the films he would have made - should have made - it rips me open. He should have had more time. And we needed more time with him.
My heart breaks for his family, for his friends, yes, but it also breaks for me and for the rest of the world that his immense talent is no longer among us. It breaks my heart because he had SO MANY stories left to share, he had so much passion and joy in him, he had so much purpose...
Jackie Robinson. James Brown. Thurgood Marshall. King T’Challa. Chadwick took towering icons and legendary heroes and made them human, and that is a rare gift. We were all blessed to have walked this earth at the same time that he did, and to witness that immense talent on display.
This one really really hurts.
