Who would have ever guessed from Gabourey Sidibe's breakout role in 2009's Precious that her chops in drama would soon be overshadowed by an impressive panache for comedy?

If you haven't already seen the Tower Heist scene stealer, please take a moment to watch the brilliance that is Gabourey's Jamaican seductress, Odessa.

With deliciously dry delivery, Sidibe details how little she actually needed to prepare for the scintillating role, explaining she's "naturally sexy" as she let her hands roam across her body in exaggerated movements.

"I ooze sex appeal. I wake up in the morning and I'm just like, 'Ooh... so sexy,' and then I just decided to bring that in front of the camera."

Watch the video for the must-see exhibition, plus more from the cast of the film, including Eddie Murphy's surprise reaction to his daughter's spread in this month's Maxim.

The Tower Heist begins November 4!
