The Indonesia Post – The Hollywood actor who played the superhero Black Panther, Chadwick Aaron Boseman, has died. The departure of the cast of ‘King Wakanda’ in the Black Panther film received a lot of respect. Not only fellow artists, sportsmen including Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton to Arsenal striker Pierre Americk Aubameyang also demonstrated the Black Panther’s distinctive style in their actions. Not only that, politicians like the US presidential candidate Joe Biden and his deputy Kamala Harris also paid their final respects to the 43-year-old man.
Twitter recorded that the news of King Wakanda’s death became the most-liked tweet of all time. More than 6 million tweeters have liked Chadwick Bosemen’s personal page. It has been shared more than 2 million times, and at least 1 million users have commented on that page.
That tweet even beat the tweet of former President of the United States, Barack Obama in 2017. At that time, Obama shared a photo of himself greeting a group of kids at the window. In the photo Obama then quoted Nelson Mandela’s words. The content is roughly ‘no one is born with hatred for skin color, background or religion’. At that time, the tweet received 4.3 million likes and was shared 1.6 million times.
What drew sympathy for Chadwick Boseman’s death, of course, was not only because of his role as ‘King Wakanda’ in the Black Panther film which was released in 2018. Besides that film, the man who was born on November 29, 1976 has played many films. Starting from playing as James Brown in Get on Up in 2014. Then the Lincoln Heights television film series in 2008, Persons Unknown in 2010. Then The Express in 2008 and Draft Day in 2014.
But from many films and television series that he starred in, the most memorable and I liked the most was his acting as Jackie Robinson in film 42 which was released in 2013. In this film, the son of a car seat entrepreneur plays the figure of Jackie Robinson, a black baseball legend. who must feel the bitterness of racism throughout his career.
The film was a huge hit. Charming acting catapulted her name in Hollywood cinema. Not only that, since his appearance in the film, the Howard University graduate majoring in directing has made black children discover new heroes in themselves. That is what makes his name even more loved.
“I will miss you. Really sad. One of the kindest and most sincere people I have ever met. Love and support for your family,” wrote Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe via his personal Instagram account.
The departure of Taylor Simone Ledward’s husband on Friday (28/8) night in Los Angeles, United States is also a form of hard struggle against colon cancer, which he had since 4 years ago.
This disease is the second deadliest cancer in America. That’s said a study conducted by the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA).
This cancer is classified as a malignant tumor. Disease often starts as a benign tumor, usually known as a polyp.
Until now, it is not clear what causes colon cancer. However, many experts say that the lack of consumption of fiber foods such as green vegetables, rarely exercising, and smoking is a contributing factor to colon cancer.
Genetic factors can also be a cause. This means that those who have parents or siblings who suffer from colon cancer are more likely to develop the disease. In addition, age and weight or obesity factors are also stated as supporting factors.
The saying goes, elephants die leaving ivory. And the “King of Wakanda” has left the big ivory in the world of cinema as well as the hearts of fans. ‘Rest in Power Black Panther’. (ras/bbs)
