The late actor got teary eyed while talking about the fans who he was told were ''hanging on''to see the movie when it came out in the theater.
“All of it’s been very personal, just watching the kids experiencing it. There are two little kids, Ian and Taylor, who passed from cancer. Throughout our filming, I was communicating with them knowing that they were both terminals. And what they said to me, and their parents said, [is] they’re trying to hold on until this movie comes,” Boseman recalled.
He went on, saying that “knowing that that will be something meaningful to them but it’s to a certain degree it’s a humbling experience because you like this can mean that much to them you know but seeing how the world has taken is on see how the movement is how it’s taking on a life of its own.”
“I realized that they anticipated something great and I think back now to a kid and just you know waiting for Christmas to come waiting for my birthday to come or I’m waiting for a toy that was going to that. I did live life waiting for those moments and so it put me back in the mind of being a kid just to experience those two little boys’ anticipation of this movie.”
