[@wahn10]

Unbelievable that this woman is 62. She is more goddess than human.

[@glazier7676]

*chokes* e-excuse mee?!? Mind *beep* ing blown 🤯

[@interiormotivebwks]

wow wow wow

[@saisreekar6891]

WHAT THE FUCK

[@TylerWood2731]

Rip Chadwick. Such a force of a person. Angela bassett also seems like she'd be the coolest parent ever

[@grumpent]

Coolest spouse

[@Eyram]

Rest in power Chadwick Boseman.

[@aresef]

Chadwick is one of those actors who could’ve given us so much more, who could have reached higher and higher heights. It was like when we lost Anton Yelchin. Or what it must’ve felt like when James Dean died.

[@duckymomo6675]

I love Angela! She’s so elegant!
I hope she will be in Black Panther 2. She’s fantastic.

[@puneetdutta3269]

Rip Chadwick 🥺🙏

[@mirandag3136]

One of the most beautiful women in the world inside and out love Angela ! R.I.P Chadwick Boseman 😢 💔 you will defiantly be missed never forgotten you will always be remembered for your iconic work in black panther and other great movies that you did for the wonder person that you were god bless you Chadwick

[@krissmgvlogs]

Come on Oscars, give this lady what she deserves!

[@sovietninja6865]

It’s weird she never got one, will smith, and Samuel l Jackson never received one either.

[@NO-bn2xt]

RIP Chadwick 👑

[@hunkyhungarian378]

To me she is definitely an Oscar winner.

[@Muppetleigh]

R.I.P Chadwick you will be missed love to his family and friends😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@nobibabe]

RIP Chadwick 💕🙏🏾💕🙏🏾💕
Angela Bassett looking beautiful always 😍

[@Dkvizu]

Yo how has Angela locked herself at her prime. She is gorgeous

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

I've aged more in the last five years than Angela has in thirtyfive! 😦
I'm always happy to see her name in movie credits.

[@AshleyShores88]

She’s so fabulous. She should’ve won the Oscar for What’s Love Got to Do with It.

[@NativeEastLondoner]

That was an epic film.

[@iEndGrave]

How is Angela out here 62, looking better than most 32 year olds👀😂🤣💯

[@BEAUTIINBRAVERY]

Rest in peace #chadwickboseman 🕊🙏🏽.
Angela Bassett is an AMAZING WOMAN. I still don't understand how she hasn't won an Oscar.
That's the reason why I say, DO NOT PUT SO MUCH STRESS ON THESE AWARDS. Your talent will speak for itself.

[@kylee_mc28]

911 is such a good show. It’s my absolute favorite. She is a queen. How on earth is she 62???!!!!!

[@kylee_mc28]

Also RIP Chadwick Boseman

[@marisapitarresi6370]

Currently binging Angela Bassett videos because she’s such a queen. I’m in love with her idc😍

[@rimshakhalid787]

I’ve watched Black Panther 🐆 at least 100 times I wish there could be a second one so bad the movie was beyond beautiful and I still am not over it neither am I over Chadwick Boseman’s death my mind still believes he isn’t dead I refuse to believe it still, it just hurts knowing he was dealing with cancer during certain interviews and movies and going hospital To see kids who had cancer while he had cancer is just insane so me,
#wakandaforever #RIPChadwickBoseman

[@Keyshaw30]

One of my favorites!! She looks amazing as always!!!

[@disneygirl4life675]

Rest In Peace Chadwick
I still don’t want to believe he’s really gone
And that was a beautiful story
Wakanda Forever 🙅🏾‍♂️
He truly was a king
The king of kindness and charisma and happiness
Cancer sucks!!
He didn’t even deserve to get that disease
Truly is missed

[@dlion1027]

The King is gone but his spirit isn't. WAKANDA FOREVER!

[@manonmanon6644]

🖤🕊🕊

[@ZoraNH.dusttracks1891]

Loved this interview....she is so expressive when she speaks lol. Always cracks me up, and makes me smile. It’s amazing how things can come full circle; you never know how even a seemingly causal encounter can impact your life. Despite leaving this earth young in age, Chadwick really seemed to have lived a full life and made a huge impact. I’ve seen interviews from his brother and pastor and I’m just inspired by who he was as a person.

[@yourquickserenity681]

I LOVE ANGELA BASSETT OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE HER

[@kallen868]

I love this! Angela is a queen. Beauty, talent and realness.😍

[@BeautyOnEarth]

Wishing everyone happiness and good health!

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

RIP Chadwick Boseman. Black Panther won't be the same. Angela Bassett is a good actress. Hope she gets and Oscar someday.

[@disneyfan5304]

[@Bluperry_27]

Rest In Peace Chadwick Boseman 🙅‍♂️

[@SerDunk]

62 & BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@radiant8327]

62 where?😮😍 Rip Chadwick 🖤🖤🖤

[@lakep7798]

Angela looks AMAZING!!!

[@kagemaru259]

Is it just me or would Angela Bassett be absolutely PERFECT as Storm in an X-Men movie? I've been thinking that since the first one back in 2000. She would kill the role.

[@fisherdickens]

WOW! She looks awesome! Wish I knew her secret(s).

[@markbleichwehl]

I only saw Chadwick in 4 movies at most. He was outstanding. You will be missed

[@rivasantos3516]

Angela Basset! ❤❤ Brazil!

[@rowwwman9184]

American horror story queen 🥰

[@xiaoxiaohere]

[@AnnerzDrum]

I'm so excited for season 4!!! I love 9-1-1

[@hhh12365]

Jimmy's facial expressions at times are so gibberish 😜

[@thekingofcool2105]

RIP King T'challa

[@datswassup07]

She could recite the alphabet and it would be iconic 😂

[@manguy2000]

The ageless beauty

[@84paratize]

She looks younger now than she did in that clip from the 80s! Crazy

[@victorrain]

Hell, I still remember her asking Arnold Schwarzenegger about his wife in Kindergarten Cop.

[@mmdmmj1]

What clip from the 80s?

[@NativeEastLondoner]

@@mmdmmj1 The one they show at 4.15

[@marcrosner9104]

What’s really sad is that at the moment the show can’t be watched in Germany.

[@captainchaos3667]

Does the woman not age? How long ago did she play Tina Turner?

[@anthonymiller934]

Looks wise? She played that role about 10 years ago..so around 2010

[@bigshirley3141]

She’s proof that the fountain of youth exist
