Singer and songwriter Beyoncé Knowles wants to do more challenging roles in films, reports say.
Knowles has so far been seen in eye candy roles in comedies like ‘Austin Powers’ and the latest ‘The Pink Panther’. Now the sultry beauty wants to do roles that can hone her acting skills.
Comingsoon.net quotes Knowles as drawing analogy between her singing acts and acting in films: “I can come out of my shell when I’m on the stage. Now I’m learning in films I can do the same thing with different characters.”
Knowles is hopeful that her upcoming film ‘Dreamgirls’ would showcase her acting abilities.
The film is directed by Bill Condon and stars Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy in the lead roles.
In the film, Knowles plays Deena, who matures from a 16-year-old girl to a 36-year-old woman in the course of the story.
“I have dramatic scenes and emotional scenes and all these colors, and I’m so excited because people are going to see me act for the first time,” Knowles is quoted by comingsoon as saying about her role in the movie.
