The actor said he was speechless to learn of Boss' death at age 40, penning a message on Instagram Dec. 14 accompanied by a throwback selfie.

"I have no words," Tatum captioned his post. "There aren't any. My head or heart can not understand this. There is just so much… i don't know where to begin. I love you. I'll see you again my friend. Until then."

The Los Angeles County coroner's office confirmed Boss died by suicide, according to records obtained by E! News.
