Late actor Chadwick Boseman donated a portion of his salary on blockbuster 21 Bridges to his co-star Sienna Miller. The Black Panther star died at the age of 43 last month following a private four-year battle with colon cancer. Now his former co-star Sienna has told Empire magazine of his generosity in ensuring she could take part in thriller 21 Bridges. Sienna revealed: "He produced 21 Bridges and had been really active in trying to get me to do it. He was a fan of my work, which was thrilling, because it was reciprocated from me to him, tenfold."

However, the actress had been so busy and exhausted she only really wanted to take out such time away from her family for justifiable pay. "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," revealed the Layer Cake actress.
