More than meets the Eye: Taraji P. Henson


Ok, so we all know this face from Hustle and Flow, and from her role in Baby Boy but do we really know Taraji P. Henson?? I mean seriously, after seeing her typecast as the hood guys girlfriend, did you ever think that this chick has what it takes to make it big?? Well, if you didnt, just like many others didnt, Taraji is putting all that hating to shame because she is definitely doing it BIG!!! I mean HUGE!! This beautiful actress is proving herself to be a powerhouse in the box office. After landing major roles in 2007's Talk to Me and Smokin Aces, we only wanted to see more of her!! And thats exactly what she gave us. More drama and more Taraji!! She took on Tyler Perry's A Family that Prey's where she co-starred along side one of my favorite actresses, Sanaa Lathan. And trust me when I say that Henson definitely held her own!! I have to admitt that I never saw it coming. I didnt think she had the range to do so much with motion pictures but she shut me up real quick. Her greatest accomplishment is coming in the form a different role for her. She landed one of the lead roles in this years The Curious Case of Benjamin Button where she stars alongside Brad Pitt and in this years Not Easily Broken, where she is once again alongside a fine actor, Morris Chestnut!! Calm down ladies...lol

Below is the trailer for
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button:






Now here is an interview with Taraji P. Henson:





Well, needless to say, Taraji P. Henson is making herself very known and I cant wait to see more of her!! What do you think?? More or Less?? I'll let you decide!!!
