Since the first season of Empire, Gabourey Sidibe has entertained as Becky Williams, the tenacious, no-nonsense executive assistant to Empire patriarch Lucious Lyon. Even though her recent rooftop sex scene also caused a lot of unnecessary controversy, she’s still up for another. “I’ll do a sex scene later today, I don’t care, yeah,†Sidibe told Vulture at the New York Women in Film and Television’s Muse Awards Thursday afternoon. “They’re fun to do.†On a rooftop? “Wherever, it can be right now.â€
The soapy shenanigans on Empire all are good fun, but for Sidibe, she’d like to see more action. As in guns! (Get your mind out of the gutter.) “When I was doing American Horror Story, I shot this scene where I get shot and I fall to the floor … and then I take the gun, crawl out of the room, and put the gun in my mouth and shoot myself through the head,†Sidibe told Vulture. “I love that scene so much because I felt like an action star. I would like to feel like an action star more often than I’ve been able to. I would love to be seen as someone that can do those more physical things.†Alas, don’t expect Becky Williams to throw down in any future Empire episodes. “I keep asking, I don’t know, and they keep telling me to shut up!â€
