Chadwick Boseman's siblings revealed the last and earlier moments they spent together. The late Black Panther star's brothers, Derrick and Kevin Boseman opened up in an interview with The New York Times to share details of their younger brother and how it impacted their life.
Kevin said that he has been recalling memories of Chad rather than Chadwick while spending time in his late brother's hometown in South Carolina. He further explained that once Boseman became a superstar, they knew that he will be shared with the people being a public figure.
However, the 48-year-old said that he always treated the actor like his little brother. The actor hailed from Anderson city located in South Carolina and people there looked up to the Marshall star as an inspiration.
The eldest brother, who is 54-year-old said that the actor’s successful career became not only the talk of the town but also young people were motivated to do something big because Boseman also came from a small place and a close community.
Kevin and Derrick couldn't stop praising the incredibly talented brother and acknowledged how the young man was motivated and bright. Both the brothers agreed that Boseman was a determined person who worked towards his goals to achieve them, no matter how big they were.
Kevin, who came to New York City to achieve his dreams and become a dancer and later Boseman followed him said that a lot of people assume that becoming successful equals being in the A-list. He further said that he never forced his brother to become an A-list film star, instead, he knew that Boseman would make way for himself if he wanted to work in the creative field and he did.
Meanwhile, Derrick admitted that his brother was a gifted person and he always gave his best shot. He disclosed that the actor was philanthropic and generous as he contributed in many charitable works without making it public.
He went on to reveal how the actor used to visit hospitals and donate money without publicizing it. Boseman was extremely generous towards the people of his hometown and always gave back to the people.
Derrick recalled that Boseman's words before his final moment that made his prayers from "God heal him" to "God, let your will be done". "I’m in the fourth quarter, and I need you to get me out of the game," Boseman said.
