Actor Chadwick Boseman, who died last week following a private four-year battle with colon cancer, was partly inspired by his mother to keep his diagnosis quiet, his longtime agent says in a report.

"I used to tell Chad, 'Man, you remind me of my dad.' You guys are fighters, and you never stop moving forward,'"Henderson said."For us, it was just like, 'Let’s keep going, let’s keep doing what you want to do, let’s keep training.' And then, me and Logan and his family, his wife, we were always just here to support him.

Boseman pushed through because he"felt that being able to be with Denzel and to launch this cycle of [playwright] August Wilson at Netflix was so exciting to him," Greene said. "He was just living his artistic life to the fullest and using his time and his moment to really affect people," Henderson said.

"Some people wait a lifetime to get the opportunity that he had," he said,"and Chad had so much wisdom, so much knowledge, so much inside of him that he wasn’t going to let this disease stop him from telling these amazing stories and showing his art in the prime of his life."

Heroic, is the only word to describe Chadwick Boseman.

Uh huh.

He was a man of character.

RIP

Nice guy

And now it’s being exploited to the hilt.

getting older I realize that death gets closer. He reminds us to think about how we handle our own illnesses and how we face death head on. the peace on the other side is eternal. (95.1 SHINE-FM: 'Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again - rejoice!' - Philippians 4:4)

Who cares

And now we hear it ad nauseam. How much is ENOUGH?

My condolences and prayers for the family Amen 🙏! God give them strength in these hard times Amen 🙏!

Nothing but the utmost respect for this beautiful human being. Rest In Peace, Chadwick Boseman.

My mother was the same way. She didn’t like people to fuss or worry about her. ripchadwickboseman

Very sad

Why does anyone care?

He was smart to do it and it shows how petty we all are.

I think the black panther was a nice man ,, I also liked the pink panther

He was amazing ❤️ . The impact on my daughter’s life will be everlasting

Such a loss!!!!! 💔💔💔💔💔

Dear all the leaders in the world,please help to force CCP have no right to prevent stream flow of MeKong river at upper reaches in china. it make impact countries in Lower section was to be salt - marsh and they use this to force these countries support CCP for 1 belt 1 road

He lived to 43 that is about 5 times the usual that is an achievement in and of itself.

💔

🙏🌈🙏

It was heroic of him to have done that.

When the debate is over, slander becomes the tool of the loser; The only thing that the Democrats & media have not blamed Trump for yet; hurricanes, volcanoes, earthquakes and toe nail fungus.

His death is one of the most shocking and tragic losses to the African American and minority communities. I still find it difficult to accept.

I still can’t believe he kept that quiet....amazing when you think about

I believe this! You are a trust worthy source.

Shame

I know this concept is foreign now when everyone seems to makes their battles public, but I’m a private person so I can relate. I don’t want to be judged by what I’m going thru, spread my pain, or give energy to something I’m fighting. He focused on the positive. I do too.

It was his own private business. But sad that he couldn’t share it with the public and possibly save more lives.

[1/2] 'The actor's mother, Carolyn Boseman, 'always taught him not to have people fuss over him,' ' so that's kinda fucked up, if your loved ones wanna be there for you and help you even when you don't need it, maybe you should let them... but also

He inspired people. I'll not question his motivations or his memory.
