Lupita Nyong'o's grief over her friend Chadwick Boseman remains, four years after his death. During a BFI London Film Festival event on Monday, Oct. 14, the Wild Robot voice actress was shown a clip from the pair's 2018 Marvel Studios blockbuster Black Panther. Getting emotional, Nyong'o, 41, said after a pause, "The grief is just the love with no place to put it, right?", before declining to watch another clip.
