One of the most famous singers in the world, Beyonce has officially announced the end of her acting career. This was reported by her mother, Tina Knowles, on her Instagram page. According to her, Beyonce decided to quit acting after the heavy and emotionally demanding role in the 2008 film "Cadillac Records".
Beyonce's career in the film industry
Beyonce began her acting career in the 2000s and appeared in several popular films. She actively participated in projects such as Cleopatra in "Austin Powers", "Pink Panther", and "Dreamgirls". Such films showcased her highly praised performance on screen.
However, the work in the film industry was very challenging for the singer. According to her, actors are required not only to memorize complex dialogues but also to convey emotions naturally in every scene. This process created a lot of mental and physical pressure for her.
Beyonce's experience in "Cadillac Records"
The 2008 musical biographical drama film "Cadillac Records" was Beyonce's last full-length feature film. The film tells the story of Leonard Chess, the head of the prestigious Chess Records company, and the famous musicians he worked with. The singer portrayed the famous blues artist Etta James in this project.
Etta James struggled with addiction in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. To authentically portray this character, Beyonce visited real-life rehabilitation clinics and studied the rehabilitation process of drug-addicted patients.
Her mother Tina Knowles' reaction
Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, expressed her thoughts on social media by posting clips of the singer's role in "Cadillac Records", commenting on her daughter's decision to quit acting:
"Looking at these clips, I feel that Beyonce's performance in this film is one of my unique memories. My daughter attended addiction centers to prepare for the role and observed real patients. Her performance in this film was indeed powerful, so I regret that she has given up acting."
Beyonce's future in cinematography
After "Cadillac Records", Beyonce has not acted in full-length films. However, she voiced the character Nala in the animated film "The Lion King" and recently played Queen Tara in the film "Mufasa".
The film industry has been challenging for Beyonce with its complex and demanding processes. She decided to fully express herself in other fields of art, especially in music. Therefore, her decision to quit acting was a natural one. According to Tina Knowles, despite leaving the world of cinema, Beyonce continues to showcase her unique talent in other areas of art.
