Beyonce is no diva y'all! There were rumors that there was an
onset feud between Beyonce and costar Jennifer Hudson during the filming of
Dreamgirls but Beyonce insists that there was no bad blood between the two while filming. "I knew that the character that I played wasn't the star," Knowles told reporters on Saturday.
Beyonce took on the role to prove herself as not only a singer but an actress as well. "I'm already a star. I already have nine Grammys. Everyone knows I can sing," she said. "I did this because I wanted people to know that I can act and I can play someone so different from myself."
On the jealousy rumors Beyonce said, "It's really unfortunate that everyone is saying I'm jealous of Jennifer. It hurts my heart because it's so clichéd. ... They're saying that I'm mad when I knew going into this that I was playing Deena," said Knowles. "Because I'm a star they just automatically assume that I'm not humble enough to sit down and take a back seat, which I am."
Beyonce actually had high praises for Jennifer Hudson's portrayal of
Effie "Jennifer Hudson had such a pressure, first of all, never being in a film and never have done an album and still having to live up to those expectations” said Knowles. "She did incredible."
