Utsågs till "Hero for the Ages" i MTV-special inatt.
Robert Downey Jr. och Don Cheadle fick i söndags den stora äran att hylla sin bortgångna Marvel-kollega Chadwick Boseman under “MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time”, där den senare postumt fick motta utmärkelsen “Hero for the Ages”. Enligt kanalen delas utmärkelsen ut i syfte att “honors a star whose heroism onscreen was only surpassed by the true hero they were offscreen.”
“Black Panther”-stjärnan gick bort i augusti i år, i sviterna av koloncancer. Han blev 43 år gammal.
“His energy and intensity was undeniable”, sa Downey bland annat och menade att han “truly embodied what it meant to be a superhero.”
“Each time he stepped on the set, he inspired and influenced everyone there, and with every role he created a new legion of fans. He had an incredible power to unify people in their love for his work and their respect for him as a person. The way he lived his life united people behind a higher purpose, and that will be his legacy”, tillade Cheadle.
