Spike Lee Unearths A Never-Before-Seen Photo Of Chadwick Boseman Posing Like ‘Jesus Christ’
The legendary director and also actor Spike Lee has updated his Instagram feed and mourned the late Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman by sharing a beautiful post.
Chadwick Boseman passed away at the age of 43 due to colon cancer on August 28, 2020. The whole world showed its love for him by paying tribute to the late actor.
Chadwick Boseman played the role of Stormi in Da 5 Bloods directed by Spike Lee, released by Netflix in 2020. On Saturday, the iconic director revealed a never-before-seen photograph of Boseman during the filming and explained the purpose of this photograph.
The 63-year-old director explained the photo of the late actor by saying Boseman was posing like ‘Jesus Christ.’ As you might see in the photo, Chadwick was in his military uniform on the set of Da 5 Bloods, with his hands spread wide and his eyes closed, looking towards the sky. That’s why Spike Lee said he was posing like ‘Jesus Christ.’
Spike Lee was also said that this photographed was taken by his close friend, David Charles Lee, who has been a photographer since his school years at New York University. The director said that this photo was taken before the last scene, and once again commemorated Chadwick Boseman.
