On the death of the renowned Actor, Boseman’s death was announced by his agent last week, with many left shocked about the diagnosis he had kept secret for four years.
The shock and pain of Boseman still lingers in the mind and heart of many actors, and friends of the talented actor globally, especially Denzel Washington, an actor who once paid for Boseman’s drama school fees.
Going memory lane, Ikorodu Bois became popular earlier this year, after they remade Chris Hemsworth movie Extraction, using materials readily available to them.
They were rewarded for their expertise at their level when the team was sent a series of high-tech camera equipment, including Boom microphones, tripods, voice recorders and even an Apple iMac computer from streaming giant Netflix.
It has also been in record that they racked up an impressive 11.4 million views and more than 160,000 shares on Twitter after their production.
While expressing his feelings, Washington made a comment. He said, he was a “gentle soul and brilliant artist, who will stay with us for eternity through his iconic performances.”
