Beyoncé gushed with pride over her daughter Blue Ivy in a touching behind-the-scenes clip from Mufasa, declaring, «Nobody’s prouder than mommy.»
Beyoncé is bursting with pride as her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, takes on the role of Kiara in Mufasa: The Lion King, while Beyoncé herself reprises her role as Nala.
In a heartwarming behind-the-scenes clip shared by Good Morning America on December 10, the singer, 43, becomes emotional as she praises her daughter’s dedication and effort in the upcoming live-action Disney film.
The footage captures the mother-daughter duo recording their lines in the studio, with Blue playfully telling her mom, «Don’t stare at me.»
«I can’t help it, you’re just too beautiful, girl,» Beyoncé responds, adding, «I’mma be right here closing my eyes.»
During an interview with the news outlet, 12-year-old Blue Ivy shared, «If I had told my younger self that I was in a movie, I would never have believed it.» Beyoncé lovingly responded, «Well, you are, girl. You are.»
The proud mom became emotional as she spoke to the cameras, saying, «Seeing Blue as Kiara and hearing her voice come out of that character — give me a second because I can’t believe that’s my baby… It’s so amazing. It was hard to focus and do my job after that. I was like, ‘Wait, hold up, guys, y’all gotta give me a second. I need to process this.’ I’m so proud of her.»
Blue described her experience working on the film as «amazing,» adding, «Everybody that’s a part of this is so helpful and supportive.»
«I feel like this is such an amazing experience for me, and I’m really happy for all the girls who look like me around the world, who can watch this movie and see themselves in it,» the pre-teen shares.
Beyoncé, equally proud, expresses admiration for Blue’s «natural» talent for voice acting, saying, «She did such a beautiful job, and I can’t believe how effortless it is for her. I’m just so proud of you. I can’t believe how big and grown-up you’ve become.»
She continues, «And I’m proud that she’s going to represent so many young brown girls around the globe.» With emotion, she adds, «Nobody’s prouder than Mommy.»
Beyoncé’s 7-year-old son, Rumi, then adorably appears on screen holding a director’s clapboard. «And cut!» he enthusiastically says as he claps the board together.
On Instagram, Beyoncé shared more love for her «gorgeous baby girl,» posting several photos from the movie’s premiere on December 9, where Blue wore a stunning strapless gold gown. «This is your night.
You worked so hard and did such a beautiful job voicing Kiara. Your family is beyond proud. Keep shining,» she wrote.
