| Beyoncé's 10 Best Acting Roles, Ranked By IMDb | TheThings - TheThings Posted: 22 Oct 2020 01:30 PM PDT To be fair, Beyonce is a music icon, a singer and performer, not necessarily an actor. With that said, she has tried her hand at acting on a handful of occasions, making her one of the most hard-working women in entertainment. Note, however, that the majority of her most popular acting gigs have been in music videos and other video shorts (Lemonade, anyone?) where she has flaunted her sex appeal, signature moves, gorgeous, flowing hair, and amazing singing voice while also telling a compelling story to the tune of her music.
She has, however, had a few acting roles. And while not all of them have been in top-notch films that were well-received by critics, at least five of them rank above a 6 out of 10, according to IMDB reviews. advertising 10 Wow Wow Wubbzy: Wubb Idol (2009) – 5.0 The children's educational flash animated series is centered around Wubzzy, a yellow, rectangular-shaped creature who has a diverse group of friends, including a rabbit-like creature who likes to build things, a super-smart bear-like creature, and a flower-loving puppy-like creature. In this voice role, Beyonce plays the secondary character of Shine, a light blue colored member of the Wubb Girlz. While Beyonce doesn't have a main role, she starred in the spin-off film Wubb Idol, which received a KidScreen Best TV Movie award. 9 Obsessed (2009) – 5.0 In good company with Idris Elba and Ali Larter, Beyonce starred in this psychological thriller about Lisa (Larter), an office temp who has feelings for her boss Derek (Elba). Despite those feelings not being reciprocated, she continues to try and seduce him. Beyonce plays Derek's wife Sharon who, upon learning about Lisa's obsession and actions, starts to suspect that the two are having an affair. Not surprisingly, the film was inspired by Fatal Attraction. And though the film wasn't very well-received, Beyonce's status as an entertainment icon helped its box office numbers. advertising 8 Black Is King (2020) – 5.4 This musical film, designed as a companion to the 2019 album The Lion King: The Gift, was also a visual album. The story is about a young African prince who becomes exiled after the death of his father. Years pass and, now a grown man, the prince begins to reflect on his life and true identity.
Beyonce plays the prince's ancestor, one of three people who help him reclaim the throne. In addition to starring in the film, which features appearances from a number of other celebrities, Beyonce also co-wrote the story and directed the film. 7 The Fighting Temptations (2003) – 5.6 Another music film, this one is a romantic comedy and stars Beyonce opposite Cuba Gooding Jr. as a man who returns to his hometown in hopes of reviving a church choir so he can enter a gospel competition. He comes across a beautiful lounge singer named Lilly (Beyonce) who is a perfect fit for the choir and, it seems, his personal life, too. While the film itself received mixed reviews, Beyonce was praised for her performance, most notably her rendition of the steamy song "Fever." advertising 6 The Pink Panther (2006) – 5.7 In this 2006 comedy-mystery film and remake of the classic 1963 British film, Steve Martin stars as Inspector Jacques Clouseau, who must solve the murder of a famous football coach Yves Gluant (Jason Statham) and the theft of the Pink Panther diamond. True to her talents as a singer, Beyonce stars as Xania, a famous pop star and former girlfriend of Gluant. Others in the cast include Kevin Kline, Emily Mortimer, Kristin Chenoweth, and Clive Owen. 5 Austin Powers In Goldmember (2002) – 6.2 Beyonce joined an exclusive group of women who have played the love interest in Austin Powers films, which serve as loose parodies of James Bond films. The role represented Knowles' theatrical film debut.
She played the fierce and beautiful Foxxy Cleopatra, who becomes Austin's sidekick and rival of Goldmember, the Dutch supervillain working with Dr. Evil and the main antagonist of the film. advertising 4 Dreamgirls (2006) – 6.5 Beyonce is Deena Jones, a character based on Diana Ross, a shy woman who becomes the lead singer of the Dreams once her talent is discovered. She is at odds with Effie (Jennifer Hudson) in the film. She marries Curtis Taylor, Jr., played by Jamie Foxx and based on Motown founder Berry Gordy, Jr., and gets a lead role in the group. Beyonce received a Golden Globe for her role while Hudson took home both the Globe and an Academy Award. While the film doesn't exactly have an amazing rating on IMDb, it's much better received on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. 3 Epic (2013) – 6.7 Another computer-animated film, in this action-adventure, which is loosely based on the 1996 children's book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs by William Joyce, a 17-year-old girl moves in with her father, an eccentric scientist, who is determined to find tiny humanoid soldiers called Leafmen. Beyonce voices Queen Tara, a queen of the forest who has Mother Nature-like powers. She is also the childhood love of Colin Farrell's character Ronin, leader of the Leafmen. Other actors who voice characters in this film include Amanda Seyfried, Josh Hutcherson, Christoph Waltz, Aziz Ansari, Pitbull, Steven Tyler, Jason Sudeikis, and more. advertising 2 The Lion King (2019) – 6.9 In this 2019 photorealistic computer-animated remake of the Disney classic, Beyonce joins a star-studded cast of voice actors, including Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, Billy Eichner, John Oliver, and others. She provides the voice of Nala, Simba's childhood best friend and eventually, love interest. While she isn't seen on camera in this role, she got to use not only her talents as an actor but also her knowledge as a parent and beautiful singing voice. 1 Cadillac Records (2008) – 7.0 Interestingly, this 2008 American biographical drama is Beyonce's top-rated film role. It explores the music scene in the early 1940s through to the late '60s, with a focus on Leonard Chess, a record company executive from Chicago, and some of the musicians who recorded for his label. Beyonce had huge shoes to fill, starring as the great Etta James. Adrien Brody starred as Chess, and Cedric the Entertainer, Mos Def, Columbus Short, Jeffrey Wright, and Eamonn Walker also had starring roles. Even better than the rating for this film: Beyonce reportedly donated the money she made from it to help women in Brooklyn trying to recover from drug and alcohol addiction.

| Does Beyoncé Have a Clone? No, But Here's Why Some Fans Think So - Showbiz Cheat Sheet Posted: 22 Oct 2020 04:31 AM PDT Beyoncé is the stuff of legend. From her stunning talent and her multi-pronged career to her dramatic personal life, she's amazed fans for decades. But some people don't seem to believe that her actual life is impressive enough, so they've taken to making up their own stories, claiming to know the truth behind the image. Although it's not unusual for people to invent tales about famous people, some of the ones about Beyoncé are truly amazing. Beyoncé is a multi-talented superstar RELATED: Strangest Beyoncé Rumor Emerged from Social Media Claiming She Kidnapped Sia She's never been merely ordinary. Born Beyoncé Giselle Knowles, she quickly became the kind of star who only needed one name. According to Biography, Beyoncé started singing early, dominating local talent shows as a child. She was only nine when she became a member of the R&B group Destiny's Child, and by the time she was 16, they had landed a record deal. Beyoncé became a solo artist in 2003, and she went on to become one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, with an astonishing 200 million records sold. She not only crushed it in the music industry, but she also appeared in some big-name movies, such as Dreamgirls. She's also gotten involved in the fashion world with her own clothing line, Ivy Park. If that isn't enough to capture the public's interest, Beyoncé is also married to rap star Jay-Z, and they have three gorgeous kids, Blue Ivy, age 8, and twins Rumi and Sir, age 3. Some conspiracy theories about herBeyoncé has gone through some dramatic moments in her personal life. She had to fire her father as her manager, and she and her husband have weathered a painful cheating scandal. At the same time, she works hard to keep her private life out of the press. All of this comes together to make her a perfect target for people who like to invent stories. The Sun reports that just a few of the conspiracy theories that have been widely shared about her are that she and Jay-Z are members of the Illuminati, that she's not actually Black, but secretly Italian, that she was never pregnant with Blue Ivy, but used a surrogate, and that she's a witch. But the wildest notion out there suggests that the singer died 20 years ago, and her music has been carried on in a bizarre way. Does Beyoncé have a clone?According to Daily Dot, in May, someone tweeted two pictures of Beyoncé, insisting that the one on the left was the real Queen Bey, while the one on the right was a clone. The two images didn't look similar enough for the poster, who took it as proof that she's been replaced by one or more clones. Of course, the fact that this theory is outlandish isn't enough for some people to realize that it's not true. If anyone is wondering if Beyoncé is really herself, or just a cheap copy, here's a few facts on cloning. Live Science explains that no humans have been cloned yet. Furthermore, to clone a person scientists would have to take that person's DNA and, through a complex process, replace a donor egg's DNA with the new set. The result would be a single-cell replica of the original person. That cell would then have to be transferred to a uterus, grow and develop into a fetus, be born, and then grow up. To have a fully grown clone that is the same age as Beyoncé is today, the whole process would have had to start back in 1981, when cloning was still the stuff of science fiction. Of course, for many people, there's no reason to let facts stand in the way of a good story. Fortunately, Beyoncé's true fans know that no matter what gets published in the dusty corners of the internet, Queen Bey will always be one of a kind. |
