Taraji P. Henson Was Surrounded by Loved Ones During Her Emotional Walk of Fame Ceremony

Taraji P. Henson is clearly living her best life right now! On Monday, the What Men Want actress received her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and she was surrounded by family and friends. In addition to snapping a few photos with her mother Bernice Gordon, grandmother Patsie Ballard, and 24-year-old son Marcell Johnson, Taraji shared a sweet moment with her soon-to-be husband, Kelvin Hayden. The two showed off their love as Taraji leaned in to give her fiancé a kiss.

Of course, Taraji's family weren't the only people there to support her on her big day. John Singleton and Mary J. Blige also made moving speeches honouring their friend. As Taraji took to the stage, she couldn't help but get a little emotional about the whole ceremony. "I keep looking at that star, going, 'Is this real?' You know I've imagined it and here it is," she said.

She also opened up about her journey to fame and ageism in Hollywood for actresses over the age of 40. "I want to be around forever," she said. "I want to break through glass ceilings when they tell women over 40 that, 'Ah, you're done. We're sending you out to pasture. We're going to hire something young and sexy.' Then when I look up and see these men doing these kick-ass roles at 60, I'm like, 'Wait a minute, I still look good.'" See more of her big day ahead!
