Viola Davis has admitted she regrets feeling ‘a little judgmental’ of Chadwick Boseman and the support he had on their film set prior to learning about his cancer diagnosis.
The duo starred in the 2020 film Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, just was released three months after Boseman’s death at age 43 from colon cancer. It was his final film.
During an interview with The Times, the EGOT winner, 59, recalled that Boseman’s fiancée, Taylor Simone Ledward, and make-up artist rubbed his back and played meditative music when they were on the set of the Netflix film.
