Angela Bassett has recently recounted memorable moment with Black Panther co-star Chadwick Boseman.

“That was my last day of shooting, and we were at the falls in Warrior Falls. I had finished my assignment and Chadwick came and hugged me. And I just hugged him and just embraced him,” shared Bassett in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.

The actress stated, “Of course it was a glorious set filled with splendid beauty and people and music and pride.”

Bassett spoke highly of late actor, who died of colon cancer in August 2020.

“To see the work that he was doing and to have come to know, every day, the human being that he was, continued the actress.

Bassett remarked, “Sometimes you don't have to say much, but you can just look into one another's eyes and convey all that you mean, all that you hope.”

While talking about Boseman’s demise, the actress mentioned, “You don't know what the future brings.”

“And of course, it was something very different than what anyone could have imagined,” she said.

Earlier in 2000, Bassett delivered a heartfelt speech at Howard University where she revealed she met Boseman years ago he was popular.

“To have come to know this young man who was a student when I got an honorary degree at Howard, he was my escort,” she noted.

Bassett added, “It was a full circle moment to come and now the great opportunity I had to portray his mother.”

Meanwhile, the actress paid tribute to Boseman for Wakanda Forever at the Golden Globe Awards in January 2023.

At the time, Bassett added, “Weeping may come in the evening, but joy comes in the morning. We embarked on this journey together with love. We mourned. We loved. We healed. And we were surrounded each and every day by the light and the spirit of Chadwick Boseman.”
