Jordan called their relationship a “very personal one,” and said he wished they had “more time.”
"Our relationship was a very personal one and had a lot of great moments—some that I couldn’t fully appreciate and fully understand until now … I wish I had more time to have our relationship evolve, and grow, and become closer and stronger." Michael B. Jordan, to ‘Vanity Fair’
Jordan went on to speak about Boseman’s impact, saying he “did more in his 43 years” than most people do “in a lifetime.”
"He was here for the time he was supposed to be here, and he had his impact, and his legacy. That was clear with the abundance of love that he has gotten from people all over the world. There are generations of kids coming up that look to him. It’s incredible." Michael B. Jordan, to ‘Vanity Fair’
He then reflected on the loss of Boseman, saying it “hurt a lot.”
"And losing him was … Yeah, man, it hurt. It hurt a lot. That’s probably what made me cry the most this year." Michael B. Jordan, to ‘Vanity Fair’
