Black Panther's Lupita Nyong’o Shares Heartbreaking Message 4 Years After Chadwick Boseman's Death
View Date:2024-12-23 14:13:45
Lupita Nyong'o is honoring the legacy of Chadwick Boseman.
The Oscar winner shared a heart-wrenching quote in remembrance of her close friend and Black Panther costar, who died in 2020 at age 43 after privately battling colon cancer.
"Grief never ends. But it changes," read the excerpt shared to her Instagram Aug. 28. "It is a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It’s the price of love."
In her own words, Lupita added, "Remembering Chadwick Boseman. Forever."

In the latter photo, the two pals—who appeared in 2018's Black Panther alongside Michael B. Jordan, Angela Bassett and Daniel Kaluuya—laughed as they held each other close.
This isn't the first time Lupita has expressed her grief over the Marvel star's passing. Shortly after news broke of Chadwick's death, the 41-year-old got candid about feeling a sense of hopelessness.
"I am struggling to think and speak about my friend, Chadwick Boseman, in the past tense," Lupita wrote in a September 2020 Instagram post. "It doesn't make sense."
Explaining that the loss felt like a "punch to my gut every morning," the actress went on to detail how Chadwick had a "profound effect" on her life, sharing, "When we came together to make Black Panther, I remember being struck by his quiet, powerful presence."
"He had no airs about him, but there was a higher frequency that he seemed to operate from," she continued. "You got the sense that he was fully present and also somehow fully aware of things in the distant future. As a result, I noticed that Chadwick never seemed rushed! He commanded his time with ease...and he put in the work with all of us."
Lupita added, "He used his life force to tell meaningful stories. And now we tell his..."
