Beyoncé Knowles says losing weight for her ‘Dreamgirls’ role left her feeling ‘unsexy’.
The star, famous for her curves, shed 20lbs for the musical role on a liquid-only diet, but didn’t like the results.
Beyoncé said: ‘I’m a black woman and in our society hips and thighs are what is considered beautiful.
‘I’d go to radio stations and guys were like, ‘What’s happened with you? Where’s Beyoncé?’ ‘I would look in the mirror and not feel like a woman. I didn’t feel sexy.’ Although Beyoncé, 25, hated her svelte look, she was surprised by the amount of compliments she received.
The former Destiny’s Child singer - who is dating Jay-Z - said: ‘People in the fashion industry were like, ‘Oh my God, you look beautiful.’ But it’s more important to feel like me in my own skin and I didn’t feel like myself when I was thinner.
‘Plus, it’s heaps more fun to be able to eat pizza again!’
