In the latest issue of The HF Magazine, actress Gabourey Sidibe poses for a few personality-filled photos. The 28-year-old Tower Heist actress dished on how music and children are her inspiration, her upcoming films and movie roles and jokingly shared what her profession would be if she weren’t an actress.
HF: If you could be anything but an actor, what would you choose to be?
GS: Professional video game tester. That’s of course in the case that Professional-chocolate-taster is unavailable.HF: Aside from acting, what is your preferred method of artistic expression, if anything?
GS: I love to sing! I love music. I sing all the time without even realizing it. I also love to write. When most teenagers in my high school were getting high (and pregnant), my best friend Crystal and I would write stories for each other. It’s always been a great interest of mine. Whenever I have a bad day, it helps me feel better to write out the way the day should have gone.HF: Any future projects you can tell us about?
GS: Well Tower Heist is in theaters now, I will shoot the third season of The Big C on Showtime early next year and I have another film, a cool dark comedy that I am attached to, called What’s the Matter with Margie, that I hope to start filming next year, as well.HF: What and who inspires you?
GS: I’m inspired by music and children. Babies are the best! They haven’t been spoiled by the world and so their ideas are so fresh and selfless. [Source]
To be honest, if Gabourey lost weight, she would be very beautiful. If you look closely at her first pic, you can see that she has a pretty face.
I totally agree with you,she just needs to loose a few pounds to be in a healthy range
I’m not here to bash your guys comments,but let just say she lost the weight like Jennifer Hudson, won’t everyone say she’s lying about losing the weight? I see that happening if she did.
I’m really distracted by her unhealthy weight. I know it’s unkind to harp on something but it’s the first thing you notice about her and, indeed, what made her famous (irony). I’m shocked that she hasn’t felt more pressure, at least for her wallet’s and career’s sake, to come down to a healthy range. I wish her well but, wow.
I totally agree with your comments “A Reader”. I agree she has a pleasant personality, but the very first thing you notice about her before she has the chance to open her mouth to speak is how big and unhealthy she looks and it is an immediate distraction. I guess if you don’t feel pressure for potential earning’s sake, then you certainly won’t feel it just for your own personal health reasons – which should be the main reason to want to lose the weight.
Stop the eating all that food stat! Dont come with that steroids or hormone crap, stop eating like a hog girl. Gluttony, dont make no sense. Dont take all that food to live, leave some for other people. Self control…get some. Jenny Craig where are your endorsemnt offers for Her?!! that would be one of the biggest endorsemnts, probably bigger than Jennifer.
FYI i used to be chunky but I didn’t eat Alot thats why I was unable to lose weight. So i began to eat more but of healthier foods and a little exercise and lost weight *shrugs* anyway i just hate when ppl see someone big and assume they eat to much…sometimes its truly the opposite my beautiful ppl
“Sometimes” but EXTREMELY rarely – 99% of the time when a person is overweight, it is because they over-eat combined with unhealthy eating – it’s an unhealthy relationship with food in general. True enough, if you eat “regular” portions but all you eat is potato chips, twinkies and coca cola for breakfast lunch and dinner, you will likely still be somewhat big or at least an extremely unhealthy “average sized” person.
Fat makes people be in denial about that half cake they ate, along with that big mac, whole pizza and gallon diet coke. All fat people at like they are fat by osmosis. Why do they lose weight when they go on a diet them. Fat denial BS. Stop being a hoghead cheese!
Again….Fat makes people be in denial about that half cake they ate, along with that big mac, whole pizza and gallon of diet coke. All fat people act like they are fat by osmosis. Just became swollen overnight against their will. Why do they lose weight when they go on a diet then. Fat denial BS. Stop being a hoghead cheese! Stop being in denial. medical rereasons for obesity are rare, obesity causes medical conditions. Do fat make you live in denial and become an idiot by not connecting those dots and get mad when your diet come into question. The doctor will tell patients to go on low calorie diet because every fat person is not on steroids or have thyroid condition. They develop thyroid condition from obesity and other conditions. Fat people please read a book, dont eat it please!
Gabby really is beautiful, from the inside out. I loved the interview….she seems so intelligent, humble, and confident. Love it
I love her because she doesn’t care what people say about her weight but I think in the future she will lose some weight. Just give her time.
Wow….how society has molded into seeing Big as unhealthy…funny when someone is visually underweight we don”t harp about how sickly they are yet overweight and underweight….both are unhealthy…we should really start to see people for who they are not what they look like …if you are in good shape and eat well kudos to you ….Gabby congratulations on your accomplishments thus far!
Let me guess, Tee, you are morbidly obese yet consider yourself to be “pleasantly plump”? I’m sorry but only a fat person would make a statement like that. In what world is Gabby simply “Big” (a fat person’s preferred “politer” word) and not morbidly obese? If Gabby or anyone her size went to any country outside of America, people would laugh at her in her face and wonder why she was offended that they were doing so. Why? Because it is extremely rare to see people that look like this in any other country. It is anything but ‘normal’ for a person to be this “big” as you out it, and you trying to deny that is calling people stupid. Only in America can a person be 3 to 4 times bigger than they should be and people are expected to pretend not to notice or act like it is normal and keep their mouth shut. By doing that we are only encouraging and “normalizing” an unhealthy way of living. I’m not saying taunt someone – but be honest with yourself.
Yes, gabbie is fat and need to lose weight, the moment you are not able to look down and see your coochie you are to fat. I know cause I was fat and had to stop over eating every damn thing. So what if shes and actor fat is fat, and it wont lose if you dont stop eating unhealthy.
<3 she has a good soul! Love her!
She should not have mentioned chocolate!
All that weight just cant be healthy!!!! our bodies arent made for that!!!
She’s lovely and will lose weight when SHE’s ready. It hasn’t stopped her from becoming wealthy, making movies or driving her fancy car. Talk about her all you want, the girl’s got talent.
