Destiny’s Child Star in ‘Goldmember’
It must have been destiny.
Beyonce Knowles played it straight opposite comedian Mike Myers in her first audition for “Austin Powers in Goldmember.”
But when the Destiny’s Child singer got a callback, she was ready to show she could play Foxxy Cleopatra, a spy posing as a singer at a 1970s roller disco.
“I went back in wearing a Pam Grier-like catsuit, an Afro wig and had memorized every blaxploitation film ever made,” Knowles told Newsweek magazine in editions on sale this week.
Myers, whose third installment of the spy-comedy series opens this week, says Knowles worked hard on the part.
“She came to the set prepared in every way, every day,” he said.
