As everybody at upfronts and beyond knows, Fox TV Group chairmen Dana Walden and Gary Newman gifted the team behind big hit Empire with fancy Rolex watches. But actor Jussie Smollett told THR he still has yet to put the bling on his wrist. The Billboard Music Awards performer explained in a recent interview, “I never would’ve bought a Rolex in my life. I’m going to have it sitting there only for a momentous occasion, because I can’t imagine going outside with something that expensive on my wrist unless I bring pepper spray.” Smollett added that he doesn’t need a reminder of his good times, saying, “It feels like a billion dreams are coming true. I wake up every day and thank God, my mom, Lee Daniels and Danny Strong.”
