Taraji P. Henson has become one of the most high profile actresses in the last five years. While many may credit this to her role on Empire, that’s only a part of the picture. Henson’s been a rising star in cinema ever since she appeared in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Hustle and Flow. Her performance in Hidden Figures is just a reminder of how talented she is. But yesterday with real life and acting aside, Henson felt a lot of emotion at the Super Bowl. It was a subject that can hit home to all of us.
While being interviewed at the Super Bowl, Henson revealed that it was a sentimental time for her because the Super Bowl reminded her of her late father. She remarked about how she and the family would cook dinner and watch the game. A story all too familiar to most of us. Henson reminds us that the Super Bowl isn’t just about watching a game. It’s about being together, spending quality moments with the people we love, and creating long lasting memories.
Henson wishes her father could have gone to a Super Bowl but more importantly she smiles when remembering the great times that Super Bowls of the past provided she and her family. You can see the brief interview below:
