Recently, Taraji P. Henson reflected on her sexy strip tease scene in Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist and how she was shy about filming it.
Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist is a series following streetwise hustler Gordon “Chicken Man” Williams, played by Kevin Hart who works his way to throw a party after Muhammad Ali’s historical comeback fight in 1970. Hart and Henson take center stage of the Peacock Original with Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Terrance Howard, and many more.
Henson said, “It was difficult dancing in front of all of my peers like that. But that’s when you have to just black out, and that’s what I did. I removed myself from the room, mentally.”
She continued, “I just remember going, ‘We’re never going home.’ Because there were so many moving pieces, but it was fun. The night was exciting. A lot of moving, a lot of running, a lot of action. It helps when you have a fun cast. It was a lively cast.”
