Taraji P. Henson Is Dreaming Of Retirement
HuffPost
The "Fight Night" actor understands the responsibility of using her platform to speak out, whether about the election or the pay inequity Black women face in Hollywood.
Retirement is on Taraji P. Henson’s mind.
And who could blame her? After a nearly 30-year career that’s earned her an Oscar nomination, starring roles in films and television shows and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Henson has been thinking hard about what her future will look like. More ease. More comfort. Less acting.
“When I say ‘retirement,’ I mean not that I will never, ever work again. But I want to finally get to a place where I don’t have to do an acting job to pay bills,” she said. “I think that’s when it’ll get back to being fun again for me. Not that I’m stressed and taking every job or whatever. It’s just that right now I do still rely a lot on my acting income to pay my bills and make things happen.”
In December, Henson’s viral SiriusXM interview with Gayle King reignited a big conversation about the pay inequity Black women face in Hollywood when Henson said “the math ain’t mathing” for those who look like her.
“It seems every time I do something and break another glass ceiling, when it’s time to renegotiate, I’m at the bottom again, like I never did what I just did, and I’m just tired,” she told King through tears.
