Taylor Simone Ledward paid tribute to late husband Chadwick Boseman during Monday’s virtual Gotham Awards, calling the “Black Panther” star, “the most honest person I’d ever met.”
Boseman, who died over the summer after a private battle with colon cancer, was the recipient of the Actor Tribute prize, which Ledward tearfully accepted.
“He is the most honest person I’d ever met,” Ledward said, according to People.
The 2020 drama, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” marked Boseman’s final film appearance. He received a Gotham Awards nomination for Best Actor, with the prize ultimately going to Riz Ahmed for his turn in the “Sound of Metal.”
Boseman and Ledward reportedly got engaged in October 2019 and tied the knot before his death. Boseman died in August at the age of 43.
