Actress Lupita Nyong’o has once again paid tribute to her Black Panther co-star, Chadwick Boseman, suggesting she continues to “grieve” over the loss.
In a post on Instagram, on Wednesday, August 28, she shared a black-and-white photo of Chadwick, and another old, colorful shot of herself laughing together with the late actor.
She found a quote that says: “Grief never ends. But it changes…It is a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness or a lack of faith. It’s the price of love,” before adding: “Remembering Chadwick Boseman. Forever.”
August 28 marked four years since the young actor passed away after his battle with colon cancer. Boseman reportedly kept his condition private even from those he worked with.
When he passed, Nyong’o described his death as “a punch to my gut every morning” in one of her Instagram posts, mourning the award-winning performer.
