Chadwick Boseman has caused concern among his fans over his current appearance. The 42-year-old actor, who is best known for his portrayal of the Wakanda superhero in Marvel’s Black Panther; was spotted on Instagram looking unrecognizable due to extreme weight-loss; leaving many to believe that he may be facing some major health issues.
The Black Panther headliner had taken to Instagram to post about his partnership with Operation 42.
It is an initiative to help hospitals that serve African-American communities during the coronavirus pandemic.
Boseman is partnering with Thomas Tull on the project that will honour the legacy of Jackie Robinson. By aiding the people on the front lines and keeping them safe from the disease. But, the comments are surprisingly focused on the actor’s incredibly shrinking body.
Just earlier this year, he appeared to be relatively the same at the NBA’s All-Star Weekend. So the concern is recent.
Read Boseman’s statement
“Operation 42 I am hearing stories of desperation from people all over the country. And we know our communities are suffering the most and urgently need help,” Boseman wrote.
“Celebrating #JackieRobinsonDay with the launch of Thomas Tull’s #Operation42. A donation of 4.2 million dollars in personal protective equipment (PPE) to hospitals that service the African American Communities who have been hit the hardest by the Covid-19 pandemic. Thank you, Jackie, for refusing to accept the world as it is, for showing us that we can make a difference.”
Chadwick Boseman is, of course, no stranger to people wondering about his weight. Last summer, there were fans concerned, but he might have been preparing for a role of some sort.
It remains unclear, but a bunch of the commenters on the video are clearly stressed out about the King of Wakanda. The Black Panther star seems more focused on honoring Jackie Robinson’s legacy and helping those in need than himself.
About the movie 42
42 is one of the breakout films that put the actor on the map. It tells the story of Robinson and all the trials he had to face to achieve his major league dreams.
In 1947, Jackie Robinson rewrote the future of pro baseball when he broke through the racial barrier; to become the first African American MLB player in modern history.
Both moving and inspirational, 42 follows Robinson’s trials and tribulations; as he signs on to the Brooklyn Dodgers under legendary team manager Branch Rickey.
While we are not sure if the Black Panther star’s weight loss is as a result of a new role; apparently, all movie productions have been halted due to the coronavirus pandemic. Are you worried about his drastic weight loss.
Could the pressures of fame, Hollywood and the success of a hit show have taken a toll on the actor? Let us know what you think in the comments.
