Beyonce Knowles says people will be "shocked" by her "dark" new film.
The singer-and-actress, who plays blues legend Etta James in 'Cadillac Records', insists her latest movie character is a huge departure from her previous roles.
She said: "I have been saying for a long time now that I wanted to do something dark. This was a scary and dark role. People are going to be very shocked. It is the complete opposite of me. It was emotionally draining."
The 27-year-old star admits preparing to play Etta - the Grammy Award winning singer with a heroin addiction - was difficult, particularly when she visited a New York drop-in centre for people with drugs problems.
Beyonce added to Britain's Glamour magazine: "I was really afraid. I didn't know what I would see. I didn't want to ask questions that were inappropriate, but the people there were very open. Before that, I didn't understand how if you had children and so much to lose you could be so deep in your addiction that you just let it all go."
