Beyoncé Giselle Knowles - Carter is known for many mythical gift , but performing is n’t incisively one of them . Nevertheless , that did n’t stop director Bill Condon from trying to cast the ethnic ikon in his live - action Beauty and the Beast moving picture . Spoiler : Beyoncé said no .
Condon , of course , had antecedently train Beyoncé in 2006 ’s Dreamgirls — and at some distributor point in Beauty and the Beast ’s production , seek her out to act as Plumette , the fly feather duster who ’s part feature in one of the motion-picture show ’s major set pieces . But as he recounted toYahoo ! Entertainment , when Condon near Beyoncé ’s people , he was eventually rick down because Plumette was n’t “ a swelled enough part . ” There are a few here and now in the flick where we see Plumette dancing with her husband Lumiere the candlestick , but Beyoncé ’s judgment of the part was an accurate one , all thing said and done . ( Gugu Mbatha - Raw ended up with the role in the terminal . )
All of this makes the rumors that Beyoncé ’s in dialogue to sound Nala in Disney ’s upcoming Lion King reboot that much more interesting . Why be a mere plumage duster when you may be fagot of Pride Rock alternatively ?
