Tyler Perryhas worshippedOprah Winfreyfor as long as he can remember.
AsForbesnotes, the “Madea” creator actually credits the TV host with inspiring him to become a writer.
He recalled, “She turns around and she puts an O on the page.
It was a good moment” (viaPeople).
Perry advised they’re always 100% honest with each other and can work through pretty much anything.
She’s even the godmother of Perry’s son, Aman.
As the talented multihyphenate toldForbes, “She inspired me from day one.
Watching examples like Oprah, owning ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show,’ and understanding what that meant.
That was very, very important to me.”
When Perry left to launch his own streaming service, he did so with Winfrey’s blessing.
