Greene revealed the reason as to why the diagnosis was kept secret to The Hollywood Reporter, saying:

“She [Chadwick’s mother Carolyn] always taught him not to have people fuss over him. He also felt in this business that people trip out about things, and he was a very, very private person.”

Friend Henderson goes on to describe how the ‘Marshall‘ star lived his life despite his diagnosis, saying:

“He was just living his artistic life to the fullest and using his time and his moment to really affect people.”

The late actor will appear in the upcoming movie ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,’ which will debut on Netflix.
