Michael B. Jordan Honors His Friend Chadwick Boseman After Late Actor Receives Record-Breaking SAG Award Nominations

Michael B. Jordan honored his late friend Chadwick Boseman with an Instagram post after it was announced that the late actor received a record number of SAG award nominations.

Boseman, 43, passed away in August after battling a four-year diagnosis of colon cancer.

On Thursday, he made history by becoming the first person to receive four nominations from the Screen Actors Guild Awards within the same year, PEOPLE reports.

“4. Still setting the bar higher,” Jordan, 33, captioned the Instagram post. “Miss you big homie.”

Jordan co-starred in Black Panther with Boseman.

The late actor was nominated for outstanding performance by a male actor in his leading role for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and for outstanding performance by a male actor supporting his role in Da 5 Bloods — both were his final two films.

He also received two nods for both films—which were nominated for outstanding cast in a motion picture.

Before the announcement, Boseman received a posthumous nomination for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.

Jordan sat down with the new outlet in November and discussed the impact Boseman and Kobe Bryant had on him.

“Looking at two people in particular that had a real impact on me, in Kobe and Chadwick. You always look at your own mortality after something like that,” he said. “The impact they’ve had on people in this world is truly incredible.”

“I’ve always wanted to leave behind something that would last longer than my physical body would,” he added. “‘Inspiring’ is so vague.”
