Ming-Na Wen Instagram – I was 37,000 ft up in the air when I found out about the passing of my beloved friend and our @themandalorian family member, @carlweathers. I cannot believe this wonderful man is gone.
I’m shocked and heartbroken. My condolences to his family, loved ones and fans. My husband was just hanging up the Apollo Creed figures I had Carl sign for him when I texted to find out what happened. I didn’t have cell service up on the plane, just texting. Eric gave me the bad news.
I normally don’t drink on a plane, but after a good cry, I made a toast to Carl. Hoping I was closer to him up in the skies as he shares laughter with other angels in Heaven.
RIP, Carl. I will miss your positivity, your generous heart, your humor and your friendship and guidance. You always brought joy and focus to our workplace. You had no BS. I wished we had a chance to work and play more. So fortunate to have been in your orbit. You were a gem of a human being with a naughty twinkle that I adored. I’m so sad. Just so so sad. 💔😢😪 | Posted on 03/Feb/2024 05:00:07
