Tina Knowles Says Beyoncé Has "Decided Not To Continue" Acting In Movies
Think about the last time you saw Beyoncé in a movie. I'm not talking about voice work like The Lion King or Epic. I'm not asking about concert films, either. I mean, the very last time you saw Beyoncé herself playing a human character on the silver screen. Beyoncé was deep in her movie bag in the 2000s, playing everything from an aspiring actor in Carmen: A Hip Hopera, to a "church girl" in The Fighting Temptations and the foxiest of women in Austin Powers in Goldmember. She displayed range in the award-winning film Dreamgirls and upped the ante even more in 2008's Cadillac Records and '09's Obsessed. And then that was kind of — at least, as far as onscreen appearances go. And, according to Tina Knowles, that might be for a reason. In fact, in a recent Instagram post, Tina wrote Beyoncé "decided not to continue" acting in movies. She made the revelation while reflecting on Bey's turn as Etta James in Cadillac Records. Sharing a clip of Beyoncé performing Etta's "I'd Rather Go Blind," Tina wrote, "Just came across this in my feed . I Listened to it several times . This is still one of my favorite movies and it makes me miss the fact that my child decided not to continue with movies." "She killed it in this movie.❤️," Tina continued, adding that Beyoncé also "unselfishly donated her salary to the Phoenix house❤️," a group of drug rehabilitation centers. Beyoncé notably spent time there while preparing to play Etta, who had battled drug addiction during her career. "Please tell her get back on set," another begged. "We need that EGOT!" "I hope one day she will say 🖕 it and come back swinging," said another. Seriously what they said!! Would you like to see Beyoncé in another film? Tell me in the comments below.
