Beyonce Left Star Struck

The 25-year-old star was so overwhelmed when she saw Diana Ross – who Beyoncé’s Dreamgirls character is loosely based on – that she was too nervous to speak to her.

Beyoncé told Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper: “I was so nervous, it was like she wasn’t real.

“She is such a legend, and I had been studying her for so long, and suddenly she was right next to me.

“I was too nervous to say anything because I didn’t know how she felt about the movie, but she told me she was a big fan and wishes me luck. I felt I could breathe again.”

Dreamgirls, which was inspired by the true story of 60s singing sensations Diana Ross and The Supremes, is Beyoncé’s biggest movie role to date.

The multi-talented star shot to fame with girl group Destiny’s Child before having huge success as a solo artist.

Beyoncé, who is rumoured to be engaged to US rapper Jay-Z, is hoping Dreamgirls will be a real boost for her movie career.

She also revealed she may focus on acting rather than singing in the future.

Beyoncé said: “After this movie, I feel that I’m an actor.
“If there’s another movie like this that I’m able to be a part of, then I would be willing to put music to the side.”
