The Queen of the Lyon’s Den has arrived…again. Peep Taraji P. Henson’s HOT new ESSENCE magazine cover inside…
She's adding another slay worthy cover to add to her collection of fabulous covers thus far. “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson is doing it again.
The 45-year-old stunna is gracing the cover of ESSENCE magazine’s November 2015 issue and chick is SMOKING hot. Taraji gets her "smize" on in a black long sleeved black Fausto Puglisi dress accented with beading and slits to the high heavens for just the right amount of sultriness.
The Oscar nominated actress has put in the groundwork and now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of her labor. Inside the magazine, the classically trained actress dishes on her newfound stardom (although she has been putting in work way before “Empire”) and how she hopes her work will one day be studied by other budding actors and actresses. She said,
“Even though people are just now finding me as Cookie, thank God for Netflix because people are so moved by my performance they’re like, ‘Where has she been?’ I’ve always said I want to do the type of work that people study.”
She then touched on the reality tv star craze. While reality tv has its own lane, Taraji warns those in that world to not get it twisted when trying to get their foot in true acting. She said,
"These kids are thinking they can do reality TV and come and do this craft that I studied, sweated and grinded," says Henson. "People forget it's a craft because it's so pop now...Can they make me believe the words coming out of their mouth?"
Bloop!
You can grab Taraji’s issue with her full interview when it hits newsstands October 16th.
