MEMORIES of Chadwick Boseman continue to live on.
Last week, family and friends took to the late actor’s Instagram account to show some love on what would have been his 45th birthday.
They shared a photo of the “Black Panther” star on a hike in a black tank top and grey jeans with a backpack.
“While we are all missing his incredible spirit today, we are grateful for the lessons and legacy he left behind,” the post read.
“This day gave him to us – we will continue to celebrate him and take joy in all of the love you are sending his way. Happy heavenly birthday, Chad.”
The actor passed away last year on August 28 at the age of 43 after a four-year battle with colon cancer.

Nicolas Cage to play Dracula
Nicolas Cage has been tapped to play Dracula in Universal Pictures’ “Renfield”, a monster movie centred on Dracula’s familiar henchman starring Nicholas Hoult in the title role.
“The Tomorrow War” director Chris McKay is on board to helm the pic, which is based on an original story outline from Robert Kirkman.
Ryan Ridley wrote the script.
McKay’s producing partner Samantha Nisenboim will be joining the project as executive producer. The film will be produced by Skybound Entertainment’s film team including Kirkman, David Alpert, Bryan Furst and Sean Furst.
In the original “Dracula” novel, R.M. Renfield was an inmate at a lunatic asylum who was thought to be suffering from delusions but actually is a servant of Dracula.
Plot details of the movie weren’t announced, but it’s believed to take place during the present day and is not a period piece.
Cage is coming off some of his strongest reviews in some time with the thriller “Pig” and can be seen next playing himself in the highly anticipated Lionsgate pic “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent”.
He is currently filming the western “Butcher’s Crossing”.

Sandra Bullock reveals why
she won’t marry again
Sandra Bullock is opening up about finding love again after her divorce from ex-husband Jesse James.
In an exclusive clip from an episode of “Red Table Talk”, the 57-year-old actress calls her boyfriend, Bryan Randall, the “love of (her) life” and explains why she does not feel pressure to remarry.
Bullock and James’ divorce was finalised in 2010 and she was first linked to Randall, a photographer and model, in 2015.
In this first look at her “RTT” conversation with hosts Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris, Bullock answers a question from a fan, who says she is divorced and now living with the love of her life. The fan explains that she wants to have kids with her new partner, but has no interest in getting married again.
The fan says that everyone tells her this decision would not be fair to their kids and asks Bullock if she should get remarried for the sake of her future family.
Bullock says her current situation — raising her two children, 11-year-old Louis and 8-year-old Laila, with Randall — has worked for her. “I am someone who went through the divorce process,” Bullock explains.
“I found the love of my life. We share two beautiful children, three children — his older daughter. Best thing ever. So, I don’t want to say do it like I do it but I don’t need a paper to be a devoted partner, a devoted mother. I don’t need to be told to be ever-present in the hardest of times. I don’t need to be told to whether a storm with a good man.”
The “Unforgiveable” actress’ advice is to prioritise the well-being of the children. -Wires.
