Taraji P. Henson Gives an Update on Her Wedding Plans

Along with discussing her role in the movie, Taraji also gushed about her engagement with “Extra's” Tanika Ray.

Taraji and former NFL player Kelvin Hayden have been engaged since May, but they still “don't have an actual date, date yet.” She previously told Tanika that she was planning for a summer wedding.

She noted, “He's just so beautiful… He's like, 'Baby, whenever you're ready.'… We live together, we're pretty much married.”Taraji said, adding, “He looked at my hand the other day, he was like, 'I'm ready for my ring.'”

In "What Men Want," Henson plays Ali Davis, a woman who is boxed out by the male sports agents in her profession, but who gains an unexpected edge over them when she develops the ability to hear men's thoughts. Taraji has a different outlook on the sexy scenes in the movie since getting engaged. She explained, “I feel weird kissing on you then going home kissing on him.”

She emphasized, “I have to take him into consideration… I get ahead of the scenes so I tell him, so when he goes to the premiere, he's not like, 'Oh, oh!'”

As for what she learned from the movie, Taraji shared, “I just think men want the same things women want.”

Taraji was more than happy to do a comedy, saying, “I have waited 20-some-odd years to do this… I have been funny in movies, but if it's not an actual comedy, then sometimes the industry goes, 'She is not a comedic actress.'”
