Relationships October 26, 2022
Jennifer Hudson says her famous movie love interests have helped manifest her big award wins.
On Wednesday’s episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” JHud interviewed her good friend Marlon Wayans, who portrayed her husband and manager in the 2021 Aretha Franklin biopic, “Respect.”
“When are we doing another movie together?” Marlon asked.
But before Jenn could answer, Marlon couldn’t stop admiring — and kissing — her EGOT ring, reminding everyone that she is the 17th person and the youngest female to achieve the honor.

“You did speak it into existence,” she replied.
Lo and behold, following the release of “Respect,” Jenn completed her EGOT when she won a Tony Award for co-producing Michael R. Jackson’s Broadway play, “A Strange Loop.”
Jennifer also revealed that her “Dreamgirls” love interest Jamie Foxx predicted her 2006 Best Supporting Actress Oscar.
“So I need another movie husband to tell me what I’m going to win next,” Jenn said.

“Well, if we do another movie together, I’m going to tell you,” Marlon said in response.
If Jenn and Marlon were to do another movie together, Marlon pitched that they portray actor Billy Dee Williams and Diana Ross, who starred in classic films such as 1972’s “Lady Sings the Blues” and 1975’s “Mahogany.”
“That’s dope,” JHud said about the idea.
While Marlon said parts of “Respect” were “so beautiful,” there were also “violent” elements, as his character was abusive toward Jenn’s.
