Chadwick Boseman Had A Great Effect On Me While He Lived – Lupita Nyong’o

Hollywood actress, Lupita Nyong’o has come out to hail the late Chadwick Boseman.

She recently opened up about the deceased, saying he made the most of his time while taking his time with everything he did.

According to her, everyone should learn to emulate him in that regard because he was a man who had great hope.

She added that the actor definitely had a profound effect on her when they worked together.

Her words, “I write these words from a place of hopelessness, to honor a man who had great hope. I am struggling to think and speak about my friend, Chadwick Boseman, in the past tense. It doesn’t make sense.”

“The news of his passing is a punch to my gut every morning. I am aware that we are all mortal, but you come across some people in life that possess an immortal energy, that seems like they have existed before, that are exactly where they are supposed to always be – here! … that seem ageless… Chadwick was one of those people.”

“Chadwick was a man who made the most of his time, and somehow also managed to take his time. I didn’t know him for long, but he had a profound effect on me in the time that I did.”
