She seems like she has such a lovely personality. It always makes me really happy watching interviews with her.

[@NellieKAdaba]

I met Prince in Vienna in 1993. I was 10 and did not know the magnitude of Prince! It was just another singer my dad dragged me to see. I saw him in NY 10 years latter fangirling the whole time! He was kind to sign my picture of me with him from 1993 and he said: ''Look at you all grown up and I haven't aged a day''. One of my dearest memories!

[@MartychM]

hahaha what a story!

[@NellieKAdaba]

Great story, thanks for sharing. Happy New Year 2017.

[@elmyra.jackson]

thormaster06 That is a sweet memory!

[@babe8917]

[@workinghoustonian]

i love her realness and the crazy faces she makes.

[@KeyonElkins]

AHH IM SO PROUD OF HER !! That opening song gave me chills

[@mariahlopez846]

everytime i watch a movie about black people i feel so empowered

[@MiaCarter7]

Same here!

[@MJforever5690]

Same...I'm not even black lol. But I am a dark skinned woman and therefore a minority!

[@gucciflipflopwearin355]

how tf are u dark skinned but not black?

[@katiemoseley8243]

GucciFlipFlopWearin Umm.... Indians? Filipinos? Latinos? Some arabians are reallly dark too. Dark skin doesn't always mean you're black.

[@gucciflipflopwearin355]

Katie Moseley 1. I understand Indians, E.g. Sri Lankans. 2. Latino isn't a race.

[@xuancong1998]

well she make Sheldon Cooper stunned. that's impressive

[@SunyiSideUp]

Gave you a like for making a Sheldon Cooper reference that didn't take away from the accomplishments of the real life mathematician Ms. Henson is playing, here! Kudos!

[@christopherlewis7115]

"I'm an actress." Well said. I can never get enough of Taraji. I love her so freakin much.

[@yungpalace]

I love this woman so much. She's so radiant and beautiful and she seems like such a blessing if you know her personally. What a sunshine.

[@meilinwu1731]

She's such a delight. Love her.

[@kaydash3868]

Taraji, you are a gem! truly..

[@salas7146]

[@willh8682]

I love Taraji sooooo much! I hope she gets an Oscar nomination for her role in Hidden Figures

[@simon.t6887]

She's so hilarious 😂😂😂

[@Mcnat_Jimingurl90]

I love her 😍😍

[@liscialapelle]

so down to earth love her

[@AllisonTamayo]

She is amazing I absolutely adore her 😊 Just everything about her is amazing

[@heymikkao]

Omg I feel like she has the same smile and bubbly personality that Simone Biles has

[@trippleme1298]

0:35 Who else saw Sheldon get jealous he wasn't the only itelligent one in the room? 😂😂

[@epramos6800]

I was in line at a Cuban bakery in Glendale CA ten years ago and she was behind me... She smelled like strawberries and watermelon.. A very nice memory of a celebrity sighting in the LA area. She bought some pastries with coconut by the way...

[@Dave....]

7-11 coffee and Advil how did that ass look in person?

[@epramos6800]

Dave Perfect...

[@uglygirlmakeup8528]

7-11 coffee and Advil // she looks like she smells delicious 😚

[@smile4dflash779]

That bakery had to be Porto's bakery and cafe. Locally famous bakery in Glendale and a lot of celebrities patronize the place. I saw Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling picking up a Cuban cake (Vanilla w/custard filling). Those two were casual but look really elegant together. No one bothered them there.

[@wkamarinn1]

I was just about to say Porto's!

[@MsSHINeeTVXQSuju]

can't wait to see this movie :3

[@samiam1451]

Taraji is a GEM 💕😍😘

[@oliveriocastro]

Loved her in Person of interest.

[@RockBandRS]

Oliverio Me too! Was so sad that show was canceled. Also, almost cried when her character died lol.

[@alexiswilliams803]

i haven't been able to watch the rest of the episodes after she died! should i???

[@RockBandRS]

Alexis Williams Yeah it's a great show and has an emotional series finale!

[@oliveriocastro]

Yes you should! The story goes in an interesting direction. Underrated show! I love it.

[@JordanjamesX]

Oliverio Yes I love Taraji on that show.

[@KarlMalowned32]

Sheldon is just gonna sit there??? He should be up at that chalkboard

[@SunyiSideUp]

NO. Let the ladies have it. It's an important story. BTW, very keen of you. I didn't even notice him.

[@elizagreenberg1741]

KarlMalowned32 well in the movie he has no idea how to solve it so..

[@ladonnayoung8259]

KarlMalowned32 Except he wasn't Sheldon in this movie. The character that he played didn't know the answer. It's not a Big Bang Theory movie. Smh!

[@NaiKzOfficial]

Thought he was about to say "That's my spot" hahaha

[@dreamergirlbaby]

Saw this movie yesterday and it was so amazing ! Very inspiring

[@riss5693]

I absolutely adore this woman!! So beautiful and talented!

[@megmo05]

[@lyric4502]

I went to the screening a few hours ago... Omg its AMAZING!!

[@JordanjamesX]

Taraji is awesome!

[@kujursameer86]

She laughs with her heart. Love this lady.

[@AlanCanon2222]

Love it when actors play scientists/mathematicians in such a believable way. Bless you Taraji and Hidden Figures for making me aware of Katherine Johnson.

[@southernborn1358]

Taraji is simply beautiful!

[@kw9387]

Queen

[@neomontja71]

I just love her laugh, its very unique.

[@siskarahmadani5691]

She was great as Carter.

[@JordanjamesX]

Randy P I agree

[@aussieleboman]

I love her!

[@judyoger]

T.P.H. miss Person of Interest, my first encounter with your skills as an actress. I loved your ability to bring this story to life for us . Bravo.

[@apple-tree5083]

This scene gives me shivers with the wonderful music playing in the backround. What a powerful moment for women, black women And everyone who experienced discrimination in any way because of who they are! 😢❤️

[@alexanon7637]

0:35 Jim Parsons is here to give us another Intel commercial 😭😈

[@catherineharvey6359]

[@abbyimforever2593]

She's just nice and funny..

[@lisadee4490]

[@allenyounge5247]

i love her

[@giovanniparentejnr1943]

Truly awesome

[@kjdnyhmghfvb]

Look at Taraji, being excellent, you Go Taraji!! Sidenote: So Terence Howard is real serious about these numbers huh, this is 4th cast mate to talk about it and the 2nd host.

[@shareeselee8228]

that movie was awesome. It makes me want to study lol

[@susana9519]

[@Sophie-nz9fz]

I absolutely adore her

[@danbev8542]

She is wonderful! I remember her from Boston Legal. She’s fantastic in this movie! Love, Love LOVE this movie!

[@lilaedu9499]

She's definitely "girl crush" material

[@ngugiimbugua]

make sure you pause the video at 3:08 the sight is priceless

[@KINGJESS916]

She has such a healthy laugh. She also seems like a very comfortable women to know.

[@jmcclinton8]

I knew that if she had the right part, she would be fantastic. I am very curious about this movie now.

[@taranjotsingh8168]

3:02 That part where she does her "ugly face". Ooooffff...she so funny!

[@Hylefavud]

I love this hairstyle on her. Nice dress!

[@afergie76]

Such a great movie. Those ladies did so much for this country. Glad the got recognition and accolades for what they did.

[@makaylastewart490]

i am going to the movies thursday night to see this

[@Gloqui05]

She's an amazing actress

[@aly8950]

I love her so much

[@izzywoods794]

I freaking love her. Taraji and Teyanna Taylor seem similar to me. In a way the way they speak and articulate themselves would make the judgmental think that they're not A list actors or Dancers or Singers (Taraji can sang y'all). But you look at them through their work and you're instantly amazed

[@assilane]

She is so beautiful damn, and so talented. I really need to check her work more =D.

[@principledthoughts9506]

She is GORGEOUS here!!

[@breanat1508]

I worked in entertainment (TV) and was at that one MTV awards shot at Universal (back in the day) and Prince was literally on the other side of the lot and I was going crazy. Yes, he was very short but the presence and stature was never to be underestimated. RIP for Prince and Taraji has taken over as my newest fame crush. She exudes talent and personality. I have not seen this next level stardom since I was a kid!

[@elmyra.jackson]

I am so looking forward to seeing this movie!!

[@yasminebear2828]

Taraji is so freaking gorgeous!!!

[@lbj325]

Love her!! She's got such a great personality!!

[@mariaseppanen3609]

Wow what a charming personality she has!

[@kathrine8300]

One of the most inspiring films I've watched.

[@GingerGingie]

She's amazing. What a talent! Thank you for telling such a beautiful story

[@quinzel1225]

Such a good actress. She plays her roles perfectly, she can do a cookie and she can do a scientist with ease

[@TheWorldofDonnie]

I love love love her 💙💙💙

[@VickyChileshe]

I love her 😍 such an inspiration with a great personality!!

[@Mxyzptlksac]

[@mermaidtale1]

She never fails to make me laugh!!

[@prettymilka7802]

[@eamonahern7495]

Hidden Figures was, for me, the feel-good movie of 2017.

[@ricsmathvlogs1807]
