Beyoncé was moved to tears while witnessing her and Jay-Z’s eldest child, Blue Ivy, record voiceovers for the upcoming Mufasa: The Lion King film. Queen Bey, 43, was featured in a video this week with her 12-year-old daughter, shared on social media by Good Morning America. The footage shows Beyoncé, who lends her voice to Nala, and Blue, who voices Princess Kiara in the prequel, recording in separate studio rooms with headphones on.
In the GMA clip, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer says: “We’re here today recording the Lion King.” She sat beside her child Blue. Later on, as the two are seen recording, Blue says to her mother: “Don’t stare at me.” The “16 Carriages” artist then replies: “I can’t help it. You’re just too beautiful, girl. I’ma be right here closing my eyes.” Blue expressed her continued amazement at the news that she will appear in the Disney movie.
Blue then said: “If I, like, told my younger self that I was going to be in a movie, I’d like, never believe myself.” The “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” hitmaker responded: “Well, you are, girl. You are!” The Grammy winner then became emotional as she described the profound experience of hearing her daughter’s voice in the recordings for the first time.
“Seeing Blue as Kiara and hearing her voice come out of that character… Give me a second ’cause I’m still just — I can’t believe that’s my baby!” she said.
