According to Letitia Wright, she already loved Chadwick Boseman from the very first moment they met. "I heard God speak to my heart; that he would be my brother, and that I was to love him as such. As we read our lines, playing siblings for the first time, my hand reflexively went to his chest, over his heart, surprising me," she wrote in her tribute to the actor for British Vogue. "It became more than an audition scene. I felt I had found the big brother I never had."

They quickly became close, and not long after, Wright shared that she treated Boseman as her actual brother. "I would just go to him, give him a hug, tell him I love him. And then he'll just be like giggling in the corner or smile. And that's how we are. He does it for me too," she told The Hollywood Reporter of their relationship, adding that God probably intended for them to be that close. "What you guys see on screen is literally, it's pretty much like, 'Oh, man, this is ordained.'"

Wright also had nothing but praise for her late friend. She said that, in the years they'd known each other, Boseman taught her an important lesson. "When he listened, he gave you his full attention," she wrote. "He taught me the power of stillness: knowing who you are and letting that speak for you."
