Henson said she was experiencing stomach pains while filming a movie. A doctor told her, “If you don’t change what you’re doing, you’re going to get stomach cancer.’ I said, ‘Say no more.’ So I switched everything up out of necessity. I want to live. Thank God, because I feel so much better.”
Henson also talked about how portraying Cookie Lyon on Empire put her star on a global stage.
