Chadwick Boseman: Remembering the legend on his 44th birthday

Actor Chadwick Boseman, who is renowned for his role as ‘Black Panther’ in marvel series, died August after battling colon cancer for four years.

Had the late Hollywood star Chadwick Boseman been alive, he would have celebrated his 44th birthday on November 29.

His death sent shock waves across the world as fans, co-stars and people from the fraternity mourned his death.

Boseman had kept his illness under wraps but had drawn concerns about his health in the past after a major weight loss.

Soon after Boseman’s demise, Twitter had started trending #RIPLegend and #RIPKing as fans of the actor were grieved with the news.

Former president of the United States, Barak Obama was one of the many who stepped forward to mourn Boseman’s passing.

Chadwick came to the White House to work with kids when he was playing Jackie Robinson. You could tell right away that he was blessed. To be young, gifted, and Black; to use that power to give them heroes to look up to; to do it all while in pain – what a use of his years. https://t.co/KazXV1e7l7
