‘Marshall’ Actor First to Receive Recognition In 2022 At Disney Legends Awards Ceremony
While the late star will be decorated with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2024, last year, he was inducted into the Disney Legends Hall of Fame at the D23 Expo.
The Blast shared that Boseman was duly honored at an event held in Anaheim, California. Accepting the Award on behalf of the late actor was his brother, Derrick, who stood in his place in front of about 7,000 Disney fans.
Giving a moving speech after collecting the award on stage, he said, “When I heard that Disney wanted to honor Chad, the first word that came to my mind was the word honor. As I think about my brother and the honor bestowed upon him, first of all, I wish he was here to receive it. Him not being here has been a huge pain point for my whole family.”
He continued, “But when I think about him, I think about how he respected our parents. As much as he respects his friends, he makes sure his friends also have good careers. How he honored all the contracts he signed, except the last one, but he honored it with his blood, his sweat, his tears, while he was playing that role and he was taking chemo at the same time.”
Derrick added, “Chad is an amazing person. That he is being honored today is not a surprise to me because he has spent his life, from childhood to this day, always being recognized and receiving respect. He respects his widow. He was so strong that in his last days, six days before he died, he fulfilled the promise he made to her and he married her.”
The emotional brother went on to eulogize his late brother and ended by saying, “Thank you for honoring my brother. And I want to say, Chad, we will always love you. And mom and dad will always love you. My mother was supposed to give this speech but she gave it to me. And for me, mom and dad are also legends. Because it takes a king and a queen to create a king.”
