Chadwick Boseman fans took to his social media handles in droves Wednesday (April 15) to express worry over his health after he uploaded a video that showed a dramatically smaller frame than the chiseled physique of his ‘Black Panther’ portrayal just two years ago.

April 15 marks Jackie Robinson Day – a date of particular importance to Boseman as he portrayed the baseball legend in the 2013 film, ’42.’
Taking to Instagram to commemorate the occasion, the 42-year-old saluted the civil rights hero with a video announcing his partnership with charitable foundation #Operation42 to help hospitals that serve African American communities during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Celebrating #JackieRobinsonDay with the launch of Thomas Tull’s #Operation42, a donation of $4.2 million in personal protective equipment (PPE) to hospitals that service the African American communities who have been hit the hardest by the Covid-19 pandemic.”
The visual certainly got a response, albeit probably not for what he was intending. Highlights below:
As of time reported, Boseman has not responded to the hoopla.
When is Lizzo’s turn??? Can’t wait to see that.
You’re disgusting.
speak for yo damn self bish
I bet Lizzo will look prettier and hotter when she lost her weights, totally outshined Beyoncé
Obviously it’s for a role… everyone that knows Chadwick and follows his career knows he is very health conscious…
What role? Drug seller??? Homeless man????
It’s very obvious that you’re only here to be negative. From your name to your ridiculous nonsensical comments. What drug dealer not “sell” do you know is super thin? How does that correlate? And there are many homeless people with all types of bodies sizes.
Don’t u coming for me bish get a life. I love to say whatever I love say. If u don’t like it FU! How dare u talking about my name?? U racist s-h-I-t. I’m da real diva ms lingling. Get on yo knees & Bow down before even talk to me.
Okay you’re right. Do something positive with your day today. Check a grammar website i think you would benefit greatly from that. Because honey….I could barely make out half of the things you just said.
It’s probably just for a movie role. I’m not concerned
I don’t think he’s lost all that much.
From black panther to crack panther! Yikes!
Chadwick has been this skinny for over a year and half now. Google it many people last year around this time said the same thing. I’m afraid we may lose Chadwick before we get a black panther 2. God bless him, I wish him well
For those of you who do not already, Chadwick Boseman’s severe weight loss was caused by the treatment he was undergoing in his long battle against colon cancer. Chadwick Boseman was lost to the illness on August 28, 2020. Although his condition was unknown to the public, it is still very hurtful to see all these comments that plague the undeniable grandeur of Boseman’s legacy. For his sake, please ignore the offensive comments.
RIP Chadwick Boseman (1976-2020)
