Viola Davis Reveals Being “A Little Judgmental” About Chadwick Boseman Special Treatment On Set

Viola Davis shared an honest admission about a past interaction with the late Chadwick Boseman. The 59-year-old reflected on filming Ma Raney’s Black Bottom and her time on set with the Black Panther star. In her confession, Davis shared that she was “judgemental” toward the actor due to his behaviors, ignorant to Boseman’s private battle with colon cancer. Davis remembered Boseman’s girlfriend and makeup artist rubbing his back and playing meditative music while creating the Netflix drama. Directed by George C. Wolfe, Boseman’s portrayal of Levee was his final role before his tragic death in 2020. At the time, it was revealed that Boseman’s co-stars, filmmakers, and other Hollywood colleagues were unaware of Boseman’s four-year fight. “There was a part of me that was a little judgmental—why do you need all that,” Davis reflected. “Little did I know that they were doing it because he was dying.
