Beyoncé Turned Down A Role In ‘Beauty And The Beast’

If Bill Condon had it his way, Beyoncé would have sung the chorus to “Be Our Guest.”

As the “Beauty and the Beast” director recently revealed to Yahoo! Entertainment, he lobbied for the Grammy-winning superstar to appear in Disney’s musical blockbuster.

“I even tried to get her into ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ but it wasn’t a big enough part,” the 61-year-old director said. “She would have been a good feather duster.”

Condon, who worked with Beyoncé, 36, in 2006’s “Dreamgirls,” helmed the live action version of the Disney classic, which has grossed a total of $504 million domestically. The role of Plumette, the feather duster of Lumiere’s (Ewan McGregor) eye, went to British actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

Though Beyoncé’s resume has grown since “Dreamgirls,” Condon believes the mother of three has an eye for the future of filmmaking.

“You look at something like ‘Lemonade‘: that is brilliant,” he says. “That is a brilliant new direction for movie musicals.”
