Chadwick Boseman Cut His 21 Bridges Salary to Increase Sienna Miller's

The world is still mourning the loss of Chadwick Boseman, who died in late August after a years-long battle with cancer. Now, his 21 Bridges co-star Sienna Miller reflects on his unconditional generosity while they worked together. In an interview with Empire, Miller explained that Boseman fought for her to receive an increased salary for her work on the film, even going so far as to giving up a portion of his own salary to help out. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://ift.tt/30xjnH1] Miller was hesitant to join the project at first as she was exhausted at the time from working non-stop, but Boseman convinced her to take the role of Frankie Burns as he was a big fan of her work. “This was a pretty big budget film, and I know that everybody understands about the pay disparity in Hollywood, but I asked for a number that the studio wouldn't get to," Miller said. "Chadwick ended up donating some of his salary to get me to the number that I had asked for. He said that that was what I deserved to be paid.” “It was about the most astounding thing that I've experienced,” she said. “That kind of thing just doesn't happen."

Best known for portraying Black Panther in the MCU, Boseman's legacy is honored on the latest cover of Empire magazine. A 40-minute special detailing his life and career is also available to stream on Disney Plus. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matthew Adler is a Features, News, Previews, and Reviews writer for IGN.
