Taraji P. Henson: From the Rough

please welcome our friend taraji P Henson my glasses and we're always in a weird way color-coordinate we are like the citrus sisters today I love your shoes let's give a little shoe cam really cute yeah Ruby Davis Ruby Davis yeah and I'm not used to seeing you with highlights for the spring cute take you it's summer yeah I played a lot of conservative roles where I couldn't wear my claw nails and I couldn't do like the full shave on a side yes so as soon as I was free and clear I would like rock me out well so we're going to talk about your movie in a moment but right there that's a very conservative role you didn't even wear makeup no hahaha and then on person of interest you played a cop now person of interest is a taraji show that just got picked up for the fourth season but what your character was killed off in the third season yes so what did you get fire girl no did you quit no I didn't I signed on knowing that Carter would come to an end eventually and I liked it because you know what I I love doing um films so I you know you sign on for seven years and it's like I can't gonna pass that up and so it was like it was a perfect marriage for me like I could I could do both so you only signed on for three seasons right that is it really ended up only being two and a half like they had the right to make it whenever I want it because we couldn't reveal that to the audience cuz then the surprise element is gone that's a really good problem to have most people in your field would love to have that problem I find that when I talk to people who do series like you knew you were doing person of interest a lot of people particularly in our 40s and you're a mom and I am oh and and and we and we and but but collecting that steady paycheck and staying put is kind of a dream for a lot of actors but you like traveling around the world and doing movies I like playing different characters I'm a character actress I was trained in try Howard University right right yeah so I like wearing different hats I got the via character for very long time I get bored not unless is some character that's like oh my god and she gets to be sexy in my Dominique Deveraux from dynasty absolutely something you sign we're headed Locklear from Melrose Place now you're getting yoga right it's always fun to play the Mean Girls right but I thought what was so brilliant about it I think primetime television needs for some procedural show sometimes are too safe and that's not real life sometimes I'm like the good person gets it yeah and it's I mean it's bittersweet because the fans I'll do a tweet and they're like girl I love you boo I shall miss you one person of interest I'm like get home free yeah uh now I thought that you were um that will Packard who did think like a man and he of course you know taraji had a huge role I had a small role we were invited to the congas yeah right one of my most memorable scenes is when you yo Kevin littles behind you know here's the thing will is such a great guy and he celebrated his birthday by having everybody in the Bahamas this past weekend but I was preparing to come back from vacation to be with you all so I couldn't be there but happy belated birthday well but you were there and while I was there and Kevin was there Kevin surprised him actually he didn't know Kevin was coming Oh Kevin lucky to miss a good time Kevin got a private jet and flew down from his movie with Will Ferrell oh yeah but that I mean he's a sweet guy fantastic yeah I am gagging at your strings and your big Gucci that's a beautiful bathing cake although I'm plugging Gucci they won't give me a discount I don't know why ma'am I mean there's Lala with a body chain in Kevin's Han on her does Carrillo know that that his hands are burning is a comedian look what he does yeah that booty call I have I have to tell you something though we're used to seeing Kevin Hart always being silly and and whatnot I virtually didn't recognize him in this picture cuz he's giving me sex man he looks rich all of a sudden dude yes haha and it's a girl team yeah or shot it's a little taller that's okay money will do I wasn't gonna say that's how I didn't recognize him she had she looks taller it's probably standing on a pile of his money yes anyway so I'm glad with you guys we're down there you had a good talk yeah now uh this will Packard's birthday at in the Bahamas where Todd and kandi celebrated their honeymoon oh really yes they were there you didn't see him were they you who they were there Bahama mamas there you are with her in the water I'm joking but we did drink a lot no we had fun and you knew that she's a great sport because this is when we were all doing the happy birthday -
