Clarke Peters Breaks Down As He Recalls Judging Chadwick Boseman On Set

He’s got a Chinese practitioner who’s massaging his back when he walks off set. He’s got a makeup lady who’s massaging his feet. His girlfriend is there holding his hand,” Clarke recalled. “And I’m thinking maybe the Black Panther thing went to his head.”

Actor Clarke Peters is grieving the death of his former costar Chadwick Boseman who died last week after battling colon cancer.

The 68-year-old actor, who worked with Chadwick on Da 5 Bloods, revealed he does have regrets from judging the Black Panther star while on the set of the Spike Lee film.

“When I look back at that time, I have to say with a little bit of regret that I probably wasn’t the most altruistic in that environment. But hindsight teaches us a lot of things,” he shared while speaking with Good Morning Britain.

He continued, “What I’m addressing is basically, my wife asked what Chadwick Boseman was like. I was really excited to work with him. I said, ‘I think he’s a little bit precious.’ And she said, ‘Why?’ And I said, ‘Because he’s surrounded by people who are fawning over him.’”

“He’s got a Chinese practitioner who’s massaging his back when he walks offset. He’s got a makeup lady who’s massaging his feet. His girlfriend is there holding his hand,” Clarke recalled. “And I’m thinking maybe the Black Panther thing went to his head.”
