The entertainment world is mourning the loss of actor Chadwick Boseman.
The 43-year-old star of Black Panther passed away at his home in Los Angeles with his wife and family by his side.
According to a statement from his reps on social media, he had been privately battling colon cancer for the last four years.
He never spoke about it publicly but a number of his movies including Avengers: Infinity War, 21 Bridges, Da 5 Bloods and Black Panther "were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy."
Hollywood is remembering him for the art he so beautifully brought to the screen but also his incredible strength. Below are some messages from those who knew him:
What a gentle gifted SOUL. Showing us all that Greatness in between surgeries and chemo. The courage, the strength, the Power it takes to do that. This is what Dignity looks like. https://t.co/U3OOnJVS42

Chadwick was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago, per reports. During that time, he gave us Civil War, Marshall, Black Panther, Infinity War, Endgame, 21 Bridges and Da 5 Bloods. Lord only knows what he was going through on a daily basis.
