Here’s what the Empire actors had to share with the mag:

Jussie on coming out gay: “If I can help someone else feel less alone, no matter what they’re going through, I’m happy to have that opportunity…”

Bryshere on hearing tough tales from his fans: “I would hear things like, ‘My dad was never in my life…’ and my response was, ‘My dad was never in my life…Don’t feel like you don’t matter.’”

Trai on working out: “I work out for two reasons: one, because I’m an actor and two, because I’m somebody’s [future] husband. I want to be prepared for the woman God has for me.”

Empire co-stars Grace Gealey and Trai Byers are reportedly dating!

The pair – who play Andre Lyon and Boo Boo Kitty aka Anika Calhoun on the show – were spotted at a wedding together looking very much like a couple, TMZ reports.

“They started seeing each other during the shooting of the show. There was an instant attraction, people working on the show are aware about it,” a source told Us Weekly. “When they all hang out together they’ll cuddle and give a kiss, but it’s nothing obscene.”

Empire just wrapped up its first season a few weeks ago.
