Golden Globe-nominated Precious star Gabourey Sidibe is ready for her close-up in the Feb. issue of Harper’s Bazaar!

“I feel like a model. It justifies everyone in my life who told me I wouldn’t be anything until I lost weight. It justifies that little girl who cried because she didn’t think she could be in front of the camera. And it’s for other girls who feel like they can’t do this or that and feel like they’re not pretty and not worthy of having their photo taken.”
