Our favorite TV star Taraji P. Henson is on the cover of W Magazine & it is smoking HOT!
YAAAASSSS!
Inside the issue, Henson describes Cookie’s appeals to audiences:
“Cookie is bold and crazy, and she loves the struggle. She started from nothing, and now she’s at the top. In that way, we’re alike: Cookie is the American Dream.”
“They want Cookie. They see her heart. They see her intentions. And they love her style—her style is 17 years behind the fashion curve, which makes the clothes a character on the show. As Cookie grows, you’ll see her fashion grow. And people love that—she’s a work in progress. The only thing that never changes is her spirit: To me, Cookie is living, breathing, walking truth.”
But she’s also aware of the criticism and has chosen not to respond to Cookie’s critics.
“When I hear that Cookie is a bad representation of black women, I don’t get involved. Maybe Cookie makes you uncomfortable because she reminds you of yourself. People miss the bigger picture when they start judging.”
Empire returns September 23, 2015. We know you’ll be watching.
