Lupita Nyong’o is celebrating her late friend Chadwick Boseman.

Nyong’o, 41, took to Instagram on Friday, Nov. 29 to share a sweet photo of herself and Boseman, who died at 43 in August 2020. In the Black Panther star’s caption, Nyong’o shared a quote from the 20th century Dutch Catholic priest and theologian Henri Nouwen that read, “Those you have loved deeply and who have died live on in you, not just as memories but as real presences.”

“Remembering that Chadwick Boseman was born on this day. 🙏🏿👑💜,” she added in a caption.

Boseman died after a four-year private battle with colon cancer. In the Black Panther movies, Nyong’o portrays Wakanan warrior and Boseman’s character T’Challa’s romantic partner Nakia. The pair are not together at the outset of 2018’s original film, but the end of 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever reveals that Nakia and Boseman’s character had a son together prior to T’Challa’s death, whom Nakia has raised in secret.

Nyong’o was close with Boseman and has shared tributes to him on the anniversaries of his death and birthday, including the fourth anniversary of his death in August. The Academy Award winner recently spoke to her grief over Boseman’s death on Oct. 14 at a BFI London Film Festival event when she was shown a clip from Black Panther.

“The grief is just the love with no place to put it, right?” Nyong’o, who grew emotional after the footage played, said at that event. “I don’t run away from the tears or the grief, you know? You just live with it. That experience will never be separate from the love that was formed.”

The actress additionally noted during that October event that she has not watched Black Panther since Boseman died. “I watch this clip and I’m filled with grief and I don’t know whether I’ll ever be done shedding my tears from losing my friend,” Nyong’o added at the time. “But I’m like, we get to see him alive. And that’s so wonderful.”
