See How Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Honors Chadwick Boseman

Published

He explained that, when they premiered footage from the first film at the convention back in 2017, “sitting next to me right next to my left was our T’Challa, the late, great Chadwick Boseman.” 

“The cast, including Chad, they hadn’t seen the footage yet, so when we played it he was right next to me and he was excited,” he continued. “He grabbed my left shoulder with his hand and, if you ever saw Chadwick in person, he had these enormous hands. They were gigantic; it was part of the reason why he filled out the Panther suit so well.” 

And they apparently packed a serious punch. 

“He was really, really strong and he was getting excited as the clip went on and on, longer and longer, he was just squeezing down on my shoulder the whole time,” Coogler joked about Boseman. “When it went off, he was like, ‘Oh, man, that was amazing! Congratulations!’ And I couldn’t even lift my arm.” 

The moment left a deep impression—literally—on the director. “I felt his hand the rest of that day for a few hours,” he said. “Standing here with y’all right now—listening to that music from those artists and thinking about it all—I promise you I can feel his hand on me right now.” 

“Chad is no longer with us physically, but his spirit, his passion, his genius, his pride and his culture and the impact that he made on this industry will be felt forever,” Coogler added. “We put our love for Chadwick into this film.”

Pete Wentz Reflects on Struggle With Fame After Ashlee Simpson Divorce

Published

During that hiatus, Pete was able to focus solely on raising his and Ashlee’s son Bronx, now 14.

“Here’s what it really was: At 31, we’d had all these great years as a band, and then we took time off, and I basically became Mr. Mom,” he said on The Howard Stern Show in 2015. “I had the beard, the flannel shirt. I didn’t know what my identity was. That factored in. When your identity is what you do, it’s hard when you stop doing it.”

But amid his divorce from the “Pieces of Me” singer and the band’s hiatus, Pete confessed he fell into a cycle of depression.

“I think it was a combination of all these factors at once, including being too young,” he told host Howard Stern. “And we were doing this all in the public eye, which as you know, it doesn’t help, because you have people scrutinizing everything you do.”

How Dakota Johnson Influenced Chris Martin’s Coldplay Concerts

Published

The “Yellow” singer went on to confess that although the packs are expensive “they are amazing and the things that people do to consider other people are just wonderful.”

And along with her heartwarming contribution to Coldplay concerts, it’s safe to say Dakota, 33, is Chris’ no. 1 fan. Back in November, the Madame Web actress was seen dancing at his show in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and she’s previously revealed that she tours with the band when she’s not working.

And her frequent attendance at his shows is not lost on Chris, who paid tribute to the Persuasion star during a 2021 Coldplay show in London. While introducing the song “My Universe,” Chris told the crowd, “this is about my universe, and she’s here,” as he pointed to Dakota in the stands before serenading her with the song.
