Jennifer Hudson relished her return to American Idol. The 44-year-old actress was a finalist on the third season of the series in 2004, and Jennifer recently enjoyed a full-circle moment when she returned to the TV show as a guest judge.
Hudson - who made her film debut in Dreamgirls in 2006 - told E! News: “To be on the other side of everything is insane, but it puts how much time has passed into perspective. I’m like, ‘Wow. Idol was 22 years ago. Dreamgirls was 20 years ago.’”
