Today's breaking news has shocked many people.
Chadwick Boseman, who starred in "Black Panther", was only 43 years old, and he died.
For a while, many people could not accept it,
Some people say that after seeing the news, the heart really stopped beating for a second, and I couldn't believe it.
In 2018, he walked on the red carpet of the Met Gala in a white robe, which instantly attracted the attention of the audience.
At that time, he was so domineering and strong, he could not see a trace of illness at all,
Obviously, last year, marvel president also announced that he would shoot "Black Panther 2" and set the release date for March 6, 2022.
Also last year, the media broke the news that Chadwick and his girlfriend were engaged...
His legend has only just begun, but now, it all comes to an abrupt end...
Since the beginning of this year, Chadwick has been losing weight,
In April, he shot a video for a public welfare project in which he was thin enough to lose his phase.
There was all kinds of speculation at the time, some people thought that his mental health was wrong, some people thought he was slimming down for the new role,
Fans are starting to worry:
"You've lost a lot of weight, you must be fine!"
"What's wrong with that? I'm a fan of iron, you don't look very healthy!! Is it to make a new movie to slim down? Please let our fans know what's going on. ”
"I hope it's for the character, and seeing you like this, my heart sinks."
"Oh my God, dude, you're all right!"
However, fans have not waited for the "debunking of rumors",
Instead, I saw more heartbreaking photos.
At the end of April, Chadwick and his mother went out for a walk, further emaciated, and walked with a wooden stick.
He was last photographed in June, when he was being pushed into the emergency room of a Los Angeles hospital in a wheelchair.
Fans speculated that he might be sick, but no one dared to think in the worst direction.
Unexpectedly, the worst result still happened.
Today, Chadwick's Instagram, Twitter, facebook accounts simultaneously posted a black-and-white photo and a statement.
Fans know that Chadwick has been silently fighting cancer for 4 years.
Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016 and has been battling the disease for the past 4 years, but after various treatments, the cancer has progressed to stage IV.
He didn't give up his life after he fell ill.
Films such as Black Panther, Marshall, The Blood Five, and Avengers 3 and 4 were all shot in between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.
He was planning to make "Black Panther 2", but the illness did not make him do it.
On Friday, in the company of his wife and family, Chadwick left this world forever.
After learning the news, netizens on social platforms at home and abroad were shocked, and even many passers-by who were not fans felt sorry for him, "I feel that he has just become famous, how can I..."
Chadwick's fame was not too early, and becoming an actor was not his original dream.
Chadwick was born in South Carolina in 1976 to a nurse mother and a father in the furniture decorating business, he originally wanted to be a screenwriter and director, and wrote a script in his life in high school.
He graduated from Howard University in 2000 with a degree in directing, then enrolled in summer drama at Oxford University, and then returned to the United States to attend the New York Digital Film Institute.
In the process, he also learned to act, but at first he learned to act purely just to understand the actors, so that he could better communicate with them as a director in the future.
Who knows, acting, he found himself quite suitable to be an actor, so he moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to pursue an acting career.
As a black actor with no background, it was not easy to start at the beginning, and for several years, he could only run the dragon suit and play some small roles on the edge.
By the age of 35, he had not been a leading actor.
It wasn't until 2013, when he was 36 years old, that he finally waited for a breakthrough.
The movie "42" asked him to star, playing the first black player in the history of Major League Baseball, legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson.
Chadwick was very engaged in acting,
Once released, the film became the highest-grossing baseball movie in Hollywood history.
(At the film's premiere, Chadwick hugged Jackie Robinson's widow.)
Chadwick's talent was gradually being seen.
He also began the path of actors who portrayed various black historical figures.
In 2014, he was again critically acclaimed for his role as James Brown, the godfather of American soul music in Get on Up, and was named to Time's Top 10 Performances of the Year that year.
In 2017, he played Marshall, the first African-American Thurgood Marshall to serve as the U.S. Supreme Court justice.
4 years ago, Chadwick joined the Marvel Universe as the first black superhero in American history, Black Panther, in mainstream comics.
This time, he was on fire all over the world.
Not only "Captain America 3", "Avengers 3, 4" have his presence, Marvel also specially produced an independent movie for his role - "Black Panther".
It was also the first black superhero character to have his own independent film.
The film was very competitive, grossing $1.346 billion, topped the North American box office in 2018, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.
You know, this is the only movie in the Marvel Universe that has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture so far.
In order to perform the momentum of the King of Wakanda "Black Panther",
Chadwick not only kept in top shape,
Also specially designed for this character accent,
He saw Wakanda as an advanced, isolated utopian society, where there was no colonization and slavery,
He hoped that his accent would reflect this, so he went to a South African accent coach to learn the African accent.
The state and figure he shows in the movie does not look like a 40-year-old person at all, and it is completely impossible to see that he shot it in a sick state.
Of course, fans like him, not only because he is a handsome panther in the play, but also because he is also incredibly warm outside the play.
He would reply to letters written to The Panther by fans in "Wakanda".
Will often go to the children's hospital to visit seriously ill children,
He would also make a special trip to Atlanta to fulfill the wish of a young boy who had brain cancer.
Tweet that he is his new best friend:
The little boy, Ian Hopgood, is a huge fan of Black Panther.
Chadwick kept in touch with him and another kid named Taylor while photographing Black Panther.
Both children are Black Panther fans, both have cancer,
In order to see the movie released, they are trying to support it every day.
But in the end, they still couldn't wait for that day.
At the press conference, Chadwick mentioned the names of the two of them, and as soon as he said a few words, his eyes were red and he couldn't help but cry.
Chadwick says that after knowing what the film meant to them, he would always think, "I'm going to get up and go to work, I'm going to get up and work, I'm going to memorize these lines, I'm going to practice these accents quickly." ”
He tried very hard to fulfill the last wish of these children, but in the end it was still one step too late...
He not only helps weak sick children, but also remembers the people who once helped him.
When Chadwick was in college, he applied to Oxford University's Summer Drama Program with several classmates.
At that time, they were all admitted, but they had no money and wanted to give up.
But their acting teacher, actress Phylicia Rashad, not only encouraged them to go, but also found a few rich friends to fund them.
After the course, Chadwick learned that it was American actor Denzel Washington who funded his trip to the UK.
He had always buried his gratitude in his heart, and he didn't want to casually reveal it to put any pressure on the other person or make people think that he still wanted something from him.
He buried the secret for 20 years, until the Panther was finished, and he felt that the time was finally ripe.
At The Black Panther's New York premiere, he met Denzel Washington for the first time and thanked him in person.
No matter how many years have passed, the people who have helped him, he will never forget.
Chadwick is such a hard-working, heart-warming actor.
He never used his illness to win sympathy or attention, and all the pain he silently resisted, while fighting cancer, he did not forget to realize the dreams of other children.
Who can leave at such a young age who has left at such a young age not be heartbroken?
After the news of his death spread, artists around the world created commemorative paintings for him.
Marvel Studios, celebrities, especially Marvel actors have posted shock and condolences,
In the Marvel movie, Angela Bassett, the queen consort of Wakanda, who plays the mother of "Black Panther", first sent several photos with Chadwick Boseman.
Then a long farewell text was written:
"Chadwick and I are destined to meet and become family. You may not know that the fate of the two of us began before the Black Panther.
At The Black Panther premiere, Chadwick leaned over to me and said that when I went to his alma mater to receive an honorary degree, he was the student who had been sent to escort me.
A few years later, we became colleagues and friends.
Enjoy the most glorious evening together!
We prepared together for weeks, worked together, put on makeup together in the morning, and waited together for the day of the mother and son.
I was honored to have enjoyed that time with you.
He is dedicated to his characters, his smile can infect others, his talent is unreal, he is a beautiful soul, a perfect artist, a lovely brother.
You didn't die, you just flew off into the distance.
Rest in peace, my prince. ”
Netizens have put #Wakanda forever, #2020年最糟的一年, #心碎, #不要带走Chadwick several topics on Twitter hot search.
Chadwick's comments section, netizens have been so sad that they feel that everything is not real...
