Chadwick Boseman Inducted as Disney Legend, Brother Gives Emotional Speech: ‘Chad, We’ll Always Love You’
Carson Burton Chadwick Boseman is officially a Disney Legend. The “Black Panther” star was inducted alongside other stars like Anthony Anderson, Kristen Bell and Josh Gad at Friday’s Disney Legends Award Ceremony at the D23 Expo. Boseman’s brother, Derrick Boseman, accepted the award on his late brother’s behalf. “When I heard that Disney wanted to honor Chad, the first word that came to mind for me was the word honor,” Boseman said. “As I think about my brother and this honor that is being bestowed upon him, I wish that he was here to receive it. Him not being here has been a point of immense pain for my whole family. But as I think about him, I think about how he honored our parents. How he honored his family. How he honored even his friends, and he made sure that his friends had good careers. How he honored all the contracts that he signed. He honored them with his blood, his sweat, his tears, as he played these roles and he was taking chemo at the same time.”
