Chadwick Boseman Honored on Hollywood Walk of Fame

“In life, Chad was more than an actor, or even an artist. He was a spiritual teacher, fortified by a family and close friends that kept him grounded in faith; a team that believed in him, protected him and fought for him. Colleagues that trusted his vision, that lifted him up and forged a real brotherhood: you have no idea how pivotal those moments were.”

“Chad, today we recognise a lifetime of artistry. We recognise your skill and your devotion, and we cement your legacy as a hero and an icon. You lived with honour, and you walked with truth. You were as brilliant as you were beautiful as you were kind. We love you, we miss you, we thank you.”

“He was an incredibly humble teacher. He never hesitated to support others. He attended every single audition and every single callback during the Black Panther casting process, helping other actors perform at their best.”

“There’s something special about being that close to somebody that great. You realise how much you don’t measure up, but you also realise how much the human body is capable of Chad showed that every day.”
