No Audition

Unlike his Marvel Studios co-stars, Boseman didn’t have to audition for his titular role as Black Panther. In fact, he was the top pick for the role, even when the writers were working on the script. Even big Marvel stars like Chris Pratt and Robert Downey Jr. had to audition for their roles. The team held Boseman in high regard based on his previous roles, that’s for sure. They were right to do so, clearly. He was the perfect fit for the character.

In April of this year, Bosewan took to his Instagram to spread awareness about a charity he was passionate about in a video. Sadly, instead of focusing on the cause he was discussing, a lot of viewers focused on his skinnier frame. Some expressed concern for his well being, while others even made jokes about him. Boseman didn’t retaliate. He put up a strong front and kept on promoting the cause. The fans didn’t know the heartbreaking reason behind his drastic weight loss.
