Actress-singer Jennifer Hudson, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her debut film 'Dreamgirls', admits being successful at her career's start has made her conscious of her acting in subsequent movies.
"When I did 'Dreamgirls', nobody was paying attention to me so I had nothing to prove. Now, I'm the 'Academy Award winner, Jennifer Hudson', so everybody is watching." said Hudson.
The 32-year-old star, who first came to the limelight as a contestant on singing competition 'American Idol' in 2004, believes her acting career is God's reward for embracing her talent of singing.
"For me, music is always there. Music connects me to my emotions," said Hudson.
The 'Black Nativity' star has a four-year-old son David Jr with her fiance David Otunga, a WWE wrestling star.
"Right now he wants to be an actor, the next minute a wrestler, the next he is singing. I am so curious to see what he is going to be. I know he is going to take over the world," Hudson added.
