    Is it OK to say that I can see similarities between the response to his sad death and the way lots of people think that Trump is smart because he played a smart person on a TV show?

      Dont be shy Formo! Spell out what it is that you hope is OK to say.
      Are you asking if it is ok for you to suggest Boseman was a lesser man than the character he played in movies? Or is it something else?

      Also, on what show did Trump play a smart person?

    When someone like this- a fit healthy man succumbs to cancer, I sometimes wonder how many others it is hiding in about to spring out.

    I just news today that a friend has it in three parts of his body- never smoked, gym most days, all organic food and permanently attached to a juicer. I know it mainly luck but life can be so unfair sometimes.

    Your health is your wealth- something we all take for granted- until it is gone.

      A guy I was in school with had it in his mid twenties. A non-smoker, moderate drinker, nice guy with his career just taking off. He’d just finished university when he found out.

      Derailed his life for 4 or 5 years, but he thankfully came out the other side of it. It’s always something of a blindside to find out someone has cancer, but it was very shocking to hear someone so young had it.

    Most of the people prostrating themselves over his death couldn’t name a non-Marvel film he was in. It’s like they’re genuinely mourning the character rather than the man.

      I personally think his best performance was as James Brown in Get on Up.

      I try to forget that he was in Gods of Egypt, but that is mainly because I try to forget I ever watched Gods of Egypt. Nothing to do with his character or acting.
