Beyonce Knowles certainly had some challenging shoes to fill by playing the legendary Etta James in the upcoming “Cadillac Records,” and the task took its toll on the world-renowned performer.
“I walked off set and went home at night with swollen eyes and very grouchy women,” Beyonce told Tarts. “I definitely was — let’s just say after the movie I said I have to go and make me a bunch of love songs and get back into my own life.”
It is no wonder the “Irreplaceable” singer battled the blues while working on the film given that she was spending so much of her spare time with real heroin addicts to prepare for the part.
“I went to go visit the Phoenix house and I met a lot of women that were recovering heroin addicts and it was really interesting to understand the need of the addiction,” Knowles said. “I had to tap into things in my life that gave me as much pain which was something that taught me a lot about myself.”
Even though the music mogul and her hubby Jay-Z just topped the Annual Forbes Highest-Earning Couples list after boosting the bank balance with an estimated $162 million collectively in the past year, Beyonce insisted she is just like you and me.
“I have many challenges like everyone else, I’m no different. I’m human you know, I have my insecurities,” she said. “I’m a vulnerable, emotional person but I can’t complain, I’m very blessed and fortunate.”
Pop Tarts spies also spotted Beyonce and her wealthy hubby having dinner at Miami’s new Fountainbleu Hotel on Friday. The music moguls were approached for a pic from some excited fans but while Jay-Z said he was happy to be in the picture, he told them he wouldn’t pose.
