Celebs React To Chadwick Boseman's Heartbreaking Death

In the aftermath of Chadwick Boseman's tragic and untimely death, celebrities are taking to social media to share their grief and condolences.

On Friday, August 28, 2020, Boseman's family confirmed that the actor, who was just 43 years old, lost his battle with stage IV colon cancer. After his diagnosis in 2016, the celebrated performer continued working between multiple surgeries and several rounds of chemotherapy, going on to film projects like Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods during his brave fight against the aggressive illness. Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe know Boseman best for his groundbreaking and career-defining performance as King T'Challa, the leader of Wakanda, in Black Panther and the MCU crossover films Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.

Celebrities have taken to Twitter to mourn Boseman and celebrate his too-short career, particularly as the actor lost his fight against cancer just as he became one of the world's biggest stars. Here's how Hollywood is reacting to Chadwick Boseman's utterly heartbreaking death.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences itself which nominated Black Panther for Best Picture and awarded it statues for Costume Design and Best Original Score in 2019 wrote on Twitter following Boseman's passing, "An immeasurable loss. From Black Panther to Da 5 Bloods, Chadwick Boseman brought strength and light to the screen, every time."

Taking to Twitter, Sarah Paulson — Emmy-winning star of American Crime Story, American Horror Story, and the upcoming Ratched – shared, "What a gift he was to all of us out there in the dark watching him listen was more enrapturing than watching others with endless words to say. What an immeasurable loss. Rest in Power."

Moonlight director Barry Jenkins simply wrote, "In power. Eternally in power," while Vice reporter Brian Josephs mused, "Chadwick Boseman is a big reason why our kids don't have to wonder about what a Black superhero is."
