The true power of @ChadwickBoseman was bigger than anything we saw on screen. From the Black Panther to Jackie Robinson, he inspired generations and showed them they can be anything they want β even super heroes. Jill and I are praying for his loved ones at this difficult time.

I keep thinking about my 3-year-old in his Black Panther costume. How he wore it almost every day when he got it, refused to take it off. The way he walked around saying βIβm the Black Panther.β How happy it made him. What Chadwick gave us was immeasurable. What an enormous loss.

Chadwick Boseman getting emotional about trading letters with kids with terminal cancer who passed before they got to see Black Panther…knowing he was himself battling cancer when he said this. Jesus. pic.twitter.com/o6l6hUjanU

He visited St. Jude while he was fighting his own battle and no one knew.
They don't make many people like this, makes it even more unfortunate that he left too soon. https://t.co/KJvaYTmdF4

we should have been watching him at age 70 get that lifetime achievement oscar with a 15 minute clip package of his dozens of Best Actor nominations

Chadwick Boseman’s untimely death is so sad. He was certainly one of the best actors of his generation and he will be missed. Dying young is just so tragic.
May he rest in peace.
