The Drunk In Love hitmaker is reportedly keen to tell the story of Saartjie Baartman, a woman who was exhibited in freak shows in the 1800s for her large bottom, in a bid to bag an Academy Award and has hired a whole host of acting coaches and writers to make the movie happen. A source told The Sun newspaper: "Beyoncé is desperate to be taken seriously as an actress. Even though she's had a string of well-received movies, she still feels her breakthrough role is yet to come, News24 reports.
"She now wants to write a screenplay that gains her respect - and hopefully awards - from the film industry, and thinks Saartjie's story could be her ticket. Winning an Academy Award would mean everything to her, and she's a woman who is used to getting exactly what she wants."
