Till this day i still cant believe that Chadwick didnt win any major awards for this movie. He was sensational. RIP King

Like Bruce Lee....died in the peak of his career, left behind timeless movies and will be remembered and loved FOREVER. RIP Mr. Boseman.

Chadwick was 37 during this interview. Oops, it was after his birthday. 38. I believe this was the appearance in which Chadwick did a version of James' "It's a Man's World" and blew the roof off the dump! Superb voice.

[@bigshon2122]

Such a beautiful man. Wish James Brown himself could have seen an epic performance of himself. Wish Chadwick was still here

[@madisonshaw1]

His life was an award to all of us who enjoyed and loved his work and his wonderful presence of humility and love , God loaned him to us ! And I am truly grateful for that ❤

[@madisonsinclair5123]

Boseman was a beautiful man. And, yes, I met him.

That’s my cousin he never ever changed he always offering us many great things and you would think after his death it woulda been easy on the family unfortunately it wasn’t sometimes families doesn’t come together we couldn’t even a decision on a church, but eventually it was at the destination close to everyone in the family and so much more just before his death he was arranging for the family get together he will always be a great person. I ❤you cuzzo.

[@Graceamazimg]

Excellent interview

[@jorgipreis2175]

Me encanta!!! Una estrella que extrañaré!!! RIP

[@johnfulton4061]

You never know what's going to become a hit I just knew that Get on up would be a hit and sadly it wasn't Chadwick the actor that played Bobby Byrd and Viola in my opinion deserved nominations

[@johnfulton4061]

Viola Davis herself said in an interview that she thought Get on up was going to be a hit

[@suzettecoates5885]

Missed sorely

[@Lehmann108]

He was 38 during this interview.

[@edwinkirkland8856]

walang gustong matapos ito at umalis na sila.out their (his and the flames mentor)LUCAS"FARS"GONDER

[@SuperBeachbum74]

Letterman didn’t mean anything by calling him a kid, don’t be so sensitive . He was just saying much younger than him , implying about 22 , so a complement !

[@tamerapratt1383]

I'm glad the interviewer didn't say his had a major influence on African American culture, not to everyone! Good job wording it 👏🏽👏🏽

[@Hellwyck]

Yeah, Dave Letterman's not an idiot.

[@chriso8193]

Any movie about successful Black Men will never do well. This dude did Thurgood Marshall, James Brown, Jackie Robinson. But welcome to my world. I have seen the industry up close and this is the real.

[@lydiaboyd7629]

He really needs to learn to interview !

[@Hellwyck]

He doesn't. That's David Letterman.

[@gmatuz8276]

Get on up was far too over looked

[@SuperBeachbum74]

Sorry but as far as the TAMI show , James was great but I thought the Ronettes stole the show and were the best !

[@mrsstrong8215]

Lord why his fine ssa
