Of course, Henson shared during the Empire panel on Tuesday that despite her shorter hair, fans still recognize has as her beloved character, Cookie, when they approach her on the street.
ET's Leanne Aguilera spoke to Henson at the event, where she talked about working with Demi Moore, who's guest starring on the Fox hit's next season.
"I have a lot of scenes with Demi Moore. She is just incredible," Henson gushed. "I love working with her. She's everything I thought she would be -- funny, just down to earth ... like a girlfriend."
As for what viewers can expect from Cookie on season four, Henson was tight-lipped.
"She's just keeping true to who she is, and that's being a mama lion," she shared.
