Golden Globe-winning actress Taraji P. Henson says there are so many diverse genres that she want to explore in showbiz, adding that she would like to swap her gender for a role once.

"I haven't played a superhero yet, I haven't played a psycho character yet. I want to play a man, like I want to really disappear. I have so much to do," ew.com quoted Henson as saying.

The actress also spoke about her character Cookie Lyon from the popular show "Empire", of which Season 3 will air in India on Star World and Star World HD, her upcoming films.

 

Talking about the upcoming season, Henson said: "I guess the theme of Season 3 would be light versus dark."

The actress is currently gearing up for the release of her memoir - Around the Way Girl, a new cosmetics line with MAC, and "Hidden Figures" - a film where she plays real-life NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson.
