I’m sure that some of you will be happy to see these images of some of the lead cast members of Empire for the June vacation issue of Essence. Absolutely NONE of them do anything for me or they are too young but I must just be in a bad mood today but I just do not like light men lol. More pics inside for those of you that are all hot and bothered to see ha! Inside they have their own covers too, pick your fav!
Jussie Smollet, 32, on getting Lee Lee Daniels attention: “I jumped on Instagram and direct-messaged Lee and said, ‘Sir, I know you get this all the time, but I’m a singer, actor, dancer, songwriter and musician. I am Jamal Lyon in more ways than one.'”
Bryshere “Yazz” Gray, 21, on youth mentoring: “I would hear things like, ‘My dad was never in my life…’ and my response was, ‘My dad was never in my life…Don’t feel like you don’t matter.'”
Trai Byers, 33, on working out prepping for Mrs. Right: “I work out for two reasons: one, because I’m an actor and two, because I’m somebody’s [future] husband. I want to be prepared for the woman God has for me.” Swoon!
