her realness ain't even funny but makes her even that more
engaging.
When you think about actress Taraji P. Henson, the classic film Baby
Boy directed by John Singleton will always come first. "GO HOME
Jody!!!!" Okay, I'm going to stop now. No less, there's a real
appreciation for her work on screen because she comes off just as real on
camera as she does in real life. Like a good shot- straight up, no chaser.
She poses on the October issue of
EBONY Magazine and dishes on her acting career as she promotes the upcoming 'No
Good Deed' with Idris Elba. What struck out the most was her take on how she
feels on not being considered an A-List actress.
What body part will you have to fix in five years?
My stomach. I get it from my mom, who had to get a tummy tuck because she didn't exercise. I try to work out at least five days a week. But if it reaches the point where I am not satisfied, I'm just going to be like, "Can you suck this out of me? Thanks!"

What's your No. 1 guilty pleasure?
Watching ratchet, ratchet television-like any of the Real Housewives shows, especially when they were fighting and a girl got her weave snatched out-that is my guilty pleasure. Sometimes, I'll just sit in front of the TV, screaming, "Ratchet, ratchet, ratchet! Where's the ratchet TV?"

What's the last thing you used your celeb status to get?
To get my fat a- into a restaurant. If someone tells me there's a wait, I'll walk right to the front of the line like, "I need a table now. I need to eat, and I want this. So let's work this out."

On her No Good Deed character
"It's a real girl-power film; she never stops fighting. It delivers the message that you don't ever have to become the victim."

On the best advice she's ever received
"My dad always told me to get from around those who have the same problem and get around people who have a solution."

On her career
"I'm still treated like I'm on the D-list. I'm still being considered with actresses who haven't done half the stuff I've achieved."
"I'm still treated like I'm on the D-list. I'm still being considered with actresses who haven't done half the stuff I've achieved."
"When people tell me no, I get hyped. Because when I prove that I
can and will, I love watching people eat crow."
