Beyoncé's Ego Cost Her a Role
Being an international pop icon can make stars feel like auditioning for a role is unnecessary. When production began for Disney's The Princess and the Frog, the pop star simply assumed that the role of the main character would just be given to her. Turns out that 'Queen Bey' was wrong.
She and other well-known stars like Alicia Keys still had to audition for the role of Tiana. Thankfully, Beyoncé's Dreamgirls co-star Anika Noni Rose did audition – resulting in her landing the much-coveted role. This anecdote sheds light on the competitive nature of the entertainment industry, where even established stars may need to prove themselves through auditions for coveted roles in animated films.
