Wanted to become a comedian
When Sidibe was young, her parents split. She grew up in Harlem, New York, but at a young age it wasn’t acting that was her passion.
“Gabby would say, ‘No, I’m gonna be a comedian,’” her mom told US Magazine in 2010.
She starred in several school plays as a child, but it wasn’t what she wanted. Since her mother worked as a performer in the New York subway, among other places, she had seen her struggle financially and wanted more stability for herself. That meant getting an education.
Growing up, Sidibe was often teased about her looks. In college, meanwhile, while hanging out with her friends who were in theatre, she noticed it was always someone else who got the attention.
Sidibe found her inspiration in comedian and plus-size actress Mo’Nique, and wanted to be just like her.
