Just call Beyoncé an overachiever. Despite having a shelf full of Grammys (16, to be exact), a string of movie roles under her belt and a catalog of sing-a-long hits, the pop superstar has recently scored the lead role in Clint Eastwood's remake of "A Star Is Born," an opportunity she calls "the biggest opportunity of my life."
Speaking with Reuters, B opened up about the iconic movie role (previously played by Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland), sharing her jitters about the first time she met Hollywood heavyweight Eastwood.
"I met with Clint and I was so nervous and I know that it is the biggest opportunity of my life," she said. "I will work as hard as I can, because I can't wait. And I am so happy that he trusts me and I am in good hands and I am so fortunate."
B's resume résumé is filled with singing-superstar roles in flicks like "Dreamgirls," "Cadillac Records" and "The Fighting Temptations," so she won't be straying too far from familiar territory with "A Star Is Born." However, after years of watching earlier versions of the film, the big-voiced diva said she understands she has big shoes to fill.
"It's when I became a fan of Barbra Streisand's. And I then saw Judy Garland's version of 'A Star Is Born,' and I realized every 20 to 30 years, a new star is born and a new talent represents that generation and era — so I didn't think that I would ever get the opportunity to be the star," she explained.
There's still no confirmation on which actor will play opposite the singer, but it has been rumored that Leonardo DiCaprio may snag the role for the Warner Bros. film. Shooting is set to begin at the end of the year.

Barbra Streisand:
Your film career recently took an interesting turn. You've gone from "Dreamgirls" to "Cadillac Records" to "Obsessed," and now you're working with Clint Eastwood on the latest remake of "A Star is Born."
It's a dream come true; I'm still in shock that it's really going to happen. Clint Eastwood is clearly the absolute best, and I'm so honored and humbled. I was in no rush to do another movie unless it was the right film, and I didn't even want to touch "A Star is Born" unless it was with him. I actually learned that this project was in existence, and kind of claimed it. I want to get to work right now!
