Idris’ Experience With Bey “Your Team Needs To Sit Down”

Beyonce & Idris

Obsessed hit theaters on Friday, and Idris Elba says that although the film ended up being great, Beyonce’s controlling team hindered their progress in the beginning:

Connecting With Beyonce…
“I think this was a very important role for her, because it was the first time she wasn’t playing a singer. But when we first started taping, it was difficult for us to really connect as artists because she has such a huge machine behind her. So in the early going it felt divided … almost like it was her and her team on one side, and everyone else on the other. But once the cameras started rolling, she really opened up and those walls began to fall. As a result, I really saw her grow as an artist, and I think you’ll be able to see it as well when you watch the film.”

Elba’s take on the film receiving a PG-13 rating …
“The process of making a movie with Beyoncé was unique, just because she’s such a huge superstar. So when I first looked at the script, I thought the film could have and probably should have received an “R” rating on subject matter alone. But Beyoncé has such a responsibility to her younger fans that I believe it was necessary for them not to try certain things because of that responsibility.”

Damn. Even sexual chocolate referred to her team as a “machine.” Who’s planning on going to see Bey kick some pseudo ass on Friday?

Check out this surprisingly good performance of like 50 chicks in Piccadilly Square in London doing the “Single Ladies” routine. Apparently they were shooting for Trident.

    Especially if it involves Idris Elba withOUT a mustache.

  • Me No Likey

    I think Idris is being shady by discussing her team. All BIG stars have a machine/team around them to look out for their best interests.

  • facefacts

    Well he’s stating facts…she ‘s so unpolished and robotic im sure he was like “Man, can you pee by yourself?? Ur a grown woman for pete’s sake!!!”

    She talks so stupid to me. She sounds so stupid when she talks. Yuck
    *************************************************
    After she sang at the Inaguration Ball, she did an interview. SHe said that the President makes her want to be smater. That was teh dumbest thing I have ever heard. So are you saying, I am dumb and I want to understand what he is talking about?

  • Smoovee Sayz

    I think Beyonce messed up because she allowed herself to be “typecast”…She only played one type of role before and that was a singer. A singer always playing a singer cant be a good look especially if you are trying to become a “serious” actress. A lot of ppl just arent buying it. But who knows she might suprise us…on dvd that is.
    Idris is looking nice as usual.

  • Telly

    Can’t wait to see this! I think Idris was looking for some one on one time! Not mad at you at all Mr. Deep Chocolate! I can’t wait to see this!

    I would like to see this though.

  • jb_1030 (.35 seconds is like a lifetime in the 40)

    Remember Bey made $80 million last yr.. and who knows how much this yr she doesnt need the attention she is already getting it
    ***********************************************
    What does this have to do witht he fact that she can’t act? SHe didn’t make all that money from acting did she? I mean did I miss something, is she up in the Julia Roberts price range, $20 million per film?

  • Missunderstood

    @ luv-lee

    The Wire, go cop seasons.. oh hell, go cop them all. You will see Stringer Bell, I mean Idris Elba :) , and how he got his start, and his fame, AND his following…. One of the best dramas EVER on TV…

  • MsStarStatus82

    lol @ jb1030, not u didn’t miss a thing. her money came from her tour, product endorsements, ring tones, having witters credits(even tho we all kno some of that she didn’t deserve cuz she wasn’t the writer) and her cd being multi-platinum. Acting will NEVER give her that kind of wealth, she’ll never be a Halle or a Julia.

  • http://undressingher.com undressingHER

    well if they’re holding back for Beyonce….then they should have got someone else. Kerri Washington??!!!

  • Divine

    If Drug Dealers looked and acted like Stringer Bell on “The Wire”….*sigh*…
    I would really have to question my morals, because I would SOOOOO be his woman…

  • http://Bossip.com IDL

    who cares.

  • chaka1

    Bey does has an extremely thick accent, however she can overcome that:
    1. Speak the way she sings. Form words as if you are about to sing them.
    2. Stress the correct words in the sentence for emphasis.
    3. Don’t trail off at the end of sentence.

    I taught a class on this. Excuse me for being so academic.

    Ibris sound like he was mad that he wasn’t able to push up on her or have any alone time with the A-lister. He probably thought he would be able to practice some love scenes with just them two in a trailor.

  • jb_1030 (.35 seconds is like a lifetime in the 40)

    Question for everyone who thinks we are Haters.

    Why do you call us Haters when we only state facts and the obvious?

    1) She can’t act
    2) She hasn’t sold out her European Tour (I checked this morning on Ticket Master)
    3) She will never seel out stadiums like Madonna, Areosmith, Rolling Stones
    4) She is average looking
    5) She can dance better than most but not as good as Ciara
    6) House of Dereon will never do as well as Sean John, L.A.M.B, or even Apple Bottom or RockaWear
    7) She is the top selling R&B artist right now, but in a contest she will never out sing Mariah Carey
    8) When she speaks, she doesn’t think first about what she should say (see my earlier post)

    These are just some of the facts

    We give her the props she is due and only what is due.

  • juicy

    I just started vistiting this site and I am already disgusted. Believe me when I tell u that the majority of the people who respond on this site have low self-esteem and dont have s*** going for them.I mean ok we all know she is not the best actries in the world but so what, shes learning. Its not like she came on the scene as an actress she is a singer. And for tb the s*** for brains who said she cant sing r u f***ing serious. Tell me another artist who can put on a show while actually singing and dancing at the same time while also hitting notes.She is a superstar, deal with it. She cant be stopped. So all haters please continue to hate because she is going to countinue to be flawless and make money on all u b****es

    @jb_1030
    “7) She is the top selling R&B artist right now, but in a contest she will never out sing Mariah Carey When she speaks, she doesn’t think first about what she should say (see my earlier post)”

    I disagree. She can’t out sing the Old Mariah Carey. The new Crazy MC she can out sing.
    She can’t out sing Jennifer Hudson or Whitney Houston.
    They SANG…she hollers.

    And she can’t speak well. Not a good extemporaneous speaker. And that’s a sign of no quick wit or intelligence.

    But I agree with everything else.

  • Me No Likey

    People are all entitled to their opinion but why must people take the time to really pick apart/discuss in detail something or someone that they supposedly don’ like or support.

    I only call people “Haters” when they say stuff about a person’s family, marriage or innocent children based on photos and NO PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE.

    All the other stuff about whether you think Bey can sing, act, dance, dress well, speak well yada yada is your personal opinion.

    Ok, that’s how I feel too, I was just making sure because I think it’s very fair for someone to have an honest opinion about a famous person and be critical without being considered a ‘hater’. It’s gotten to where no one can say anything about anyone without being called one. I’m a Bey fan, but I’ll be d@mned if I stand back and get called a hater simply because I think her acting leaves more to be desired…

    Absolutley NOT, As I stated before, a HATER is one who displays hate and dislike for someone for no apparent reason. I am NOT a celeb and I have HATERS everyday, it dont bother me cuz ppl dont know me, and if they did they would love me, just like ppl dont know Bey, they just speculate and draw conculsions from that (NOT smart)
    I am also proud u are a STAN for yourself, I am my own STAN too, so I can respect that.
    You dont necessairly have to Not like DIVAS, its cool, but when you are hateful and resentful for no apparent reason then it becomes HAte…

    @ Brooke

    Why do people call us haters when weare stating what is public record or a fact about something? I would say it about anyone. Everyone has an opinion, that what makes this country so great, The 1st Amendment, Freedom of Speech.

    But to say we are untalented, uninteresting and unattractive because wemay not like someone or we may not agree with your views does not make us haters.

    I mean I don’t like Kobe, I don’t think he is all that. Does that make me a heter because he can play basketball and I can’t? No.

    I can put a 1000-lb bomb together and set teh fuse in my sleep becasue I was trained to do that. I am sure you and Beyonce can’t, but will that make you a hater because you can’t do something I can? No.

    Like I said she can sing, she can dance. However she is not the end all of the entertainment world. I like her music, but I am no fan nor am I a hater. I point out what others don’t want to see, the truth.

    I have no problems with you. We just have a difference of opinions. You like her and I think she is ok

    Thanks for clearing it up. Very few people had anything personal to say about beyonce. It’s mostly opinions about her acting and what Idris Elba had to say.
    You had a few people who have Hateration. But the comment you made was a blanket comment about haters without clarifying what you were including as “Haters”.

    At least you didn’t curse people out…like Juicy…

    ————————————————-
    I disagree with you….
    You opinion for someone is no more or less valid than a person who has opinion against someone.
    It has nothing to do with credibility as this is an anonymous site and we don’t know anyone.

    I also disagree with, If people can’t do any better with looks, talent, income then I say keep ya hate to a minimum..
    Because:
    Bey is too fat
    Bey is too skinny
    Bey need to sithave kids
    Bey is ugly
    Bey needs to drop outta sight for 5 years
    Bey is sooo average…
    etc. (Cant type all of em cuz my nails are super long..lol)

    Whether wrong or right, whether you agree or disagree are all opinions.
    And I just don’t think it’s hate.
    And by the definition you gave before, neither do you.

  • Southern L.A. Gal

    Brooke only saying we all can have an opinion but it doesn’t have to hit below the belt and somethings we don’t have to post we can just keep it moving. At times, I do that and sometimes, I bang on what I don’t think is creditable. We all do. Just short some of the hate. It’s so popular, that’s why. Now, can we have more love. Illumanti isn’t creating that buzz.. That’s why… Keep us against one another and only a few leaders, when we all are leaders of our lives.

    BUT I THINK SHE LOOKS GOOD WITH RED HAIR? DOES THAT MAKE UP FOR THE PREVIOUS COMMENT?

    ********************

    I actually don’t like the Red hair on her, doesnt make her UGLY some a HATER would probably say, to me it makes her look a bit pale and washed out… Opinions are great u guys!!! lol

  • Let’s talk truth…

    J. Hud will succeed what Bey wants- an academy, Tony, and Grammy Award. All J. Hud need is a Tony which no doubt she will be fabulous on a broadway stage.

    Thanks for the warning, Idris! :)

  • Let’s talk truth…

    For all those who think people are hating on Bey because she can’t act….

    GET OVER IT!!!!Cause ya girl can’t act!

    That’s my opinion- Get over it.

    My solution to her problem: Don’t act or quit singing and devote your time to learning how to act. You can’t serve to masters.- (calm down to all my spiritual people)

  • Let’s talk truth…

    @ why?

    Because bey stated she wanted to win an academy, tony, and grammy award…thats why.

  • Demeter

    It ain’t like he dissed her. I see nothing wrong with the qoute. If she ever wants an oscar she needs to become the character. It’s always “Beyonce” playing whatever role. She needs to aim at reaching a level where the audience forgets its “beyonce”.

  • Let’s talk truth…

    Bey know she is not 28 yrs. LOL. Let me stop.

  • why?

    her Birthday is September 4, 1981 so clearly she is 28 and headed towards 29 this year, WTF???? Why does this woman have to lie about her age??

    Hollywood hardly HAS any STARRING roles for MINORITIES and this LACK of SUPPORT will ENSURE that it REMAINS SO

  • Let’s talk truth…

    You last comment is evidence enough you don’t live in reality.

  • Let’s talk truth…

    I agree.

  • jb_1030 AKA Milkshake (.35 seconds is like a lifetime in the 40)

    And for you folks thinking this lady doesnt work hard, look at what she does for the community? What have you done:

    Let’s see: didn’t she pass on doing a community concert during Christmas to appear on the Today show?

    But since you want to compare my community service to hers her goes:

    1) After School Math tutoring to kids at a high school.

    2) Big brother and Big Sister memeber, mentoring kids about during positive things.

    3) Go around the neighboorhood and help people clean thier yards to keep up the neighboorhood.

    This is just a few of the things I do to give back. But if she is so abot the community, how about Beyonce and all her millions, go into the Houston area or downt o NO and tell someone, hey your house was destroyed, I have hired a contractor and we will rebuld it. Random act of kindness. With all her millions that would be chump change.

    Stop putting this girl on a pedastal. When you do that, it makes her look even worse compared to people that actually have money adn do alot more community service, like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and Oprah

  • why?

    And your last comment is evidence that you clearly cant interpret what I am saying

  • Reign

    I hate when singers think they can act and take roles that should have been given to real actors and actresses. Those people have paid their dues, attended acting classes and everything else and just because someone is a superstar, they take precedent over real actors. Not good! Why would this chick have her “machine” with her for this? I would think that takes away from the process and the connection with the film’s characters.

  • Let’s talk truth…

    @ why?

    Let me ask you plan and simple?

    Do you think Beyonce can act?

  • why?

    It is not her responsibility to go out and do anything with her money, but what she does do with her money is her choice. I was not saying you did not do anything in your community but I guess you felt guilty and compelled to point it out. I am not putting her on a pedastal, but I will not kick her around on the floor either. And you think the stuff Oprah, Angelina, and Brad isnt for the betterment of themselves, give me a break!

    If she isnt on a pedestal, then dont act like it is her responsibility to take care of any communities problem!

    LMFAO

  • Beyonce’s image is…

    I don’t know bout yall but I heard ya girl, the good, clean girl cuss on Dreamgirls and in the lyrics of more than one of her songs. I don’t think that it has tanished her image. That and the numerous coochie shots. I don’t think Beyonce caters to anyone necessarily. I truly think she’s on a whole nother level. Listen to her old all the way to the new music and see what I’m saying.

  • Party favor

    Disclaimer: This has nothing to do with her music acting or n e thing else.

    I wis Kelly was as big as her. I like looking at that chocolate thang

  • Let’s talk truth…

    @why?

    I respect that response and I can agree with you on that. I am a black woman who wants to see all of my sistas make it and get that money. I don’t know bey personally and most likely never will so like most people I have to go off her actions, interview, etc..etc…

    I just think that because she has had a mostly privledged life (where her father and mother) were able to work and provide her with the opportunities that most actors and singers never have – she has had this fairly easy road to success. Let me explain…

    Now I know alot of people will disagree..and I know she paid her dues in performances and gigs (I give her that) but she has had a father lay down her path and do all the dirty work where as other artist had to hustle they azz off just to get gigs (themselves).

    That doesn’t take away her accomplishments. I have seen her do performances that blew me away and even bought some of her music so I support that. But I just cannot support her in acting until I see her put forth some efforts to seriously train (like you said) and take a few risk.

  • Let’s talk truth…

    @why?

    Agreed. It’s the way the cookie crumbles. This is why actors are so upset with singers who venture into their world. Years of training and hardships and because of your singer celebrity status they can take roles -serious roles at that. Its a tough situation.

    @Chocolate Tide
    I think she can do Wonder Woman. It doesn’t take a lot of skill for that. She can wear her show costumes, twril around in a cap and a lasso! That’s right up her alley!

    I also heard she is politicing hard to be Angela Davis in her Biopic….She needs to pass on that one! She can’t do her justice! I would be so mad if she butchered that role.

  • jb_1030 AKA Milkshake (.35 seconds is like a lifetime in the 40)

    she may not be the best at everything but this BLack young lady tries her best and keeps going.
    ************************************************
    This is exactly what I have been saying. She is not the best at everything. I thank you for saying the same thing. She does keep on trying and she does work hard. But she is not the best at everything like some (not you) think that she is

  • Jasmine

    Yea I’m glad that he was honest about the working experience with her. Most people would say something like: “She’s very easy to work with blah,blah,blah” and he was polite but honest about her “Team” being in the way. Actors are very different from performers and when a performer enters an actors world, I beleive they should be humbled and very gracious on set.

  • Let’s talk truth…

    @Pimp or Die

    Interesting and true what you say…but Bey also hides her true self. And although I (for one) believe whole-heartedly about a person’s privacy…showing your true self to people by doing interviews, or being seen with friends or hmmm…naturally just being…I could have a different perception of her. But all I see is what she allows people to see.

    Can I hate on that…no I can’t because the little privacy that she can withhold is hers to keep.

    I am changed. Mission accomplished.

    I really don’t think acting is something you can learn. Either you have it or you don’t. I’m not saying that Beyonce is a horrible actress, but I’m not saying that she is a good actress either. I think she should probably stick to singing and dancing, but who knows, she may actually fool us.

  • Let’s talk truth…

    LOL!!Let’s not even go there…LMAO.

  • jb_1030 AKA Milkshake (.35 seconds is like a lifetime in the 40)

    She can’t connect well sexually on film because she is stiff and uptight.
    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

    If her “machine” is on set, maybe that is why she is nervous.

    1) Who wants to get busy in front of hubby or daddy looking
    2) She is so scared to disappoint daddy that her acting reflects it and you get what we see on screen

  • My Opinion

    Her commitment to her young fans? Please, her songs are very suggestive. Beyonce’s voice is terrible, she sounds so ghetto, despite her claims of being bought up upper class. We all know her parents made good money, but obviously lacked class and breeding.

    I agree. I am soo wanting Beyonce to take a small hiatus and come back and completely SHUT IT DOWN!
    Like come out with something so different and profound that it just WOWs everyone.

    You can’t please everyone, but there comes a time when you have to evolve as a woman and artist.
    If she is a TRUE ARTIST and not just a performer, she knows this.
    But my guess is she is just a performer. I would love for her to prove me wrong.

    I support all the black women in my life and they support me.
    But I don’t support foolishness and NOTHING I simply don’t believe in.
    Just because some folks don’t support Beyonce, doesn’t mean Black women don’t support each other.
    If you view of the world is that limited I think you should get out and meet more black women.
    In my life, I have learned the opposite.

    I have learned that Black women throughout time have SUPPORT our community (including other black women) to no end. Beyonce OBVIOSULY has black women supporting her, because haven’t you all mentioned time and time again her record sales and so forth.

    Stop putting that nonesense in the atmosphere. That’s simply untrue.
    If anything, that’s apart of the divide and conquer mentality people are talking about.

    Well, I applaud you because you’re obviously an exception in some ways, but based on some of your previous comments…I beg to differ b/c if I’m not mistaken…Beyonce is also a black woman.

  • jb_1030 – that is Madam Concubine to you(.35 seconds is like a lifetime in the 40)

    My point, which I should have elaborated more on, was I am sure they took notice and someone will take the chance and will come out on top.Someone like Quentin Tarantino. They did it with Raisin in the Sun. Steven Spielburg did it with The Color Purple. It will happen, but when black actors go in for a screen test and wow the producers, i am sure they will be like, um no she/he is the one.

  • LawdhavMercythisshitis real

    well i love my bey and copped my I AM>>> tickets yesterday i support this chick in all rhelms … she is humble and does the damn thing she is 28 and in time will break away from the strings the industry and her father has given her she must first build the courage up and mentally prepare herself for this departure .. so weird like dina in Dream Girls i think thats really why she loved that role so much she really relates sideye to dad lol

    Well dzam if you can’t let go of your ego for 5 seconds that speaks volumes about your insecurities as a BIG star.

    Let’s face it, Beyonce still has a lot to prove in the acting department. She would have gained a lot more respect had she shown up alone and ready to work.

    And I’m sure it will be reflected in her performance just how much of a distraction her “team” really was.

  • Short Stop

    Why do people keep saying she made 80 million? Just because she made $80 million does not mean she has that in a bank account. I would love to see her financials. I bet she has more debt than the US Government. WAKE UP and get knowledge. This is why so many Entertainers get in financial and tax trouble…they only look at what they made not what had to be paid.

    I would have had no problem with beyonce dabbling in acting….had she started out with small minor rolls. I mean DreamGirls should’ve been her wake up call, she thought she had that in the bag playing her self……Didn’t work. She needs to take baby steps when it comes to acting and not just force herself into the art. She needs to be patient and humble, and actually train herself, and not be so damn pressed to put her damn name all over things. Now had she done that, I would’ve probally been a positive supporter for her acting career.

  • Divab

  • Lexie

    ref – bored@work: THANK YOU!!! You took the words right out of my mouth! It just rides my nerves when people like Beyonce think acting is so easy and they don’t need to train for it. She has no respect for it the way she does for her singing in my personal opinion, it emanates from her. It is clear that she does not have any preparation. She should have started out in bit parts, cameos etc but her ego directed her otherwise with a little push from her father who thinks that she can sell anything to anyone. She needs to give the public a much needed break from her presence quite frankly, let us miss you Beyonce because you are about one nanosecond from over exposure.

    Idris is such a passionate man which carries over and ignites whatever character he plays, he is an ingenious actor and clearly an intelligent gentleman. I applaude him. Very classy. I hope to see him in some roles that show up his versatile facets and acting ability, like an urban”Usual suspect”. Yes he’s handsome, but that’s the least of his gift, the man is compelling to an audience, and a role that really displays the attributes he embodies as an actor would be his jackpot role.
