| Interview With Simba Actor JD McCrary On Working With Beyonce - Haute Living Posted: 29 Jul 2019 10:06 AM PDT
JD McCrary may be just 12 years old; however, don't let his age fool you. Though he's young, he's already making waves in Hollywood, both for his acting and singing abilities. Earlier this year, the budding superstar released his first EP with a track called "Stole My Heart" produced by Atlanta-based, music producing legend, Jermaine Dupri. He was also in the hit movie Little with another young sensation, Marsai Martin, as well as Regina Hall. But one of his most impressive feats was more recent: he played the voice of "Young Simba" in Disney and Jon Favreau's The Lion King alongside Beyoncé Knowles Carter and Donald Glover. Here, I sit down with McCrary to discuss his experience on one of the most epic film releases this year, working alongside an iconic cast and what's next for him in the near future. What was your experience like on-set/recording for The Lion King?It was super fun. I laughed a lot and got to do a lot of running around in the Black Box theater. Mr. Favreau even let me say "Action!" My part was different from the original with Jonathan Taylor Thomas because he only did the acting, not the singing. It was really cool that I got to do both and really get into the mindset of Simba. What was it like working alongside legendary talents like Donald Glover and Beyoncé Knowles Carter?It's a blessing and really exciting to work alongside such talented and nice people. At the press conference after the movie and even at the premiere, the whole cast was treating me like we were old friends. It was awesome. Did you receive any helpful advice from any of your fellow cast mates and if yes, what was that advice?I had actually met Donald Glover before when he and I performed together at the Grammy Awards, so its as such a coincidence being cast as Simba. One of the best things he told me to do was to make the role my own. And that's what I tried to do.
How did your experiences prior to The Lion King, including having your song produced by Jermaine Dupri, working with Childish Gambino and on the film Little, help and prepare you for this massive project?Having other projects and working with Donald Glover at the Grammy Awards prepared me for enjoying a huge moment, like being Simba. I had shot The Lion King before Little, so that actually helped me working on set with my peers like Marsai. And just in general, feeling more confident and getting to know other young ones who are out there doing their thing. It's pretty special. What advice would you impart on other young Hollywood hopefuls who wish to lead a similar path to yours?Definitely to "dream big" and "you're never too young to pursue your dreams!" How did you get your start within this industry?Music has always been something in my family and I knew from an early age that it's what I wanted to pursue. One time when I was 6 [years old] watching the Disney channel, I just thought to myself, "Wow, I really want to be on the T.V. just like them." My parents helped get me started and I went from commercials to guest roles, music to films, and here I am. It takes hard work and focus but it's been so much fun. Who are some talents that you hope to work with one day and why?I would love to do a duet with Beyoncé, a film with Will Smith and play Miles Morales in a Marvel film. I really respect a lot of the artists out there today, like Ed Sheeran and Benny Blanco doing everything. It is super inspiring and I hope to get a chance to work with those people. What's next for you and what are some exciting projects you have coming down the pipeline?I have a new single that's coming out soon and I am working on a bunch of other fun projects coming out before the end of the year. So stay tuned! And definitely check out my Instagram and YouTube channel for all the updates on JD!

| Posted: 21 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT  Beyoncé has blessed the masses with her new album The Lion King: The Gift, and one song in particular has everyone in a frenzy. The four-minute tune "BROWN SKIN GIRL" — which features the silky croons of Nigerian singer Wizkid — includes a special vocal cameo from Bey's daughter Blue Ivy. The track is an ode to the beauty of black women and their afrocentric features, so it's only right that Beyoncé gives Blue a chance to shine. The 7-year-old talent adorably opens and ends the song with the catchy hook, "Brown skin girl / Your skin just like pearls / The best thing in the world / Never trade you for anybody else." Blue is steadily developing her music career (and her red carpet poses). Back in March, she had her own track on Bey's Homecoming: The Live Album. Before that, she was featured in Beyoncé's 2016 hit "Daddy Lessons" as well as the "Mi Gente" remix the following year. She's gathering her coins at such a young age, and we have to stan. While we wait for Blue to drop her own solo album — because you know it's going to happen eventually — check out all the celebratory reactions to her feature in "BROWN SKIN GIRL" ahead!  |
| Posted: 10 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT  The members of Destiny's Child — Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams — had a mini reunion last night, July 9, at the Lion King premiere. And well, since the ladies just plain haven't aged in years and have always stayed true to their signature styles, we swear the night could have taken place in 15 years ago! But we must admit after Tuesday night's red carpet one question did cross our mind: Is Destiny's Child made up of three time travelers? After all, they look the exactly same as they did over a decade ago from head to toe! It took a minute and then we realized we weren't in a time warp and that the ladies of Destiny's Child are actually still just killing it in their own signature ways. We looked through the archives and found similar looks from years back that will have you doing a double take… seriously. Starting with Beyonce, the "Single Ladies" pop sensation stunned on Tuesday night's red carpet in a custom-made Alexander McQueen tuxedo dress. It wasn't your average jacket dress, though. The entire thing was covered in crystal chandelier embroidery, including the dégradé crystal embroidered skirt. Also incredible was her glam look, rocking cornrows with the ends tied in a low pony and a sultry smoky eye and glossy nude lip. This whole esthetic reminded Us of her look at the 2007 BET Awards. The "Irreplaceable" singer attended the awards show in a form-fitting Dolce & Gabbanna dress that was just as blingy as her custom McQueen (even if the fit is a bit different). Her makeup was even similar, with a pinky nude lip and smoked-out black lined eyes.  Now for Rowland, who definitely embraced a lot of current trends through the 2000's. But there's one thing that has remained the same — she loves a zebra print. At the Lion King premiere, the performer donned an animal-print shirtdress with studded heels and silver hoops. When attending the Tuleh Fall 2007 fashion show in New York City, the "Dirty Laundry" singer wore a nearly identical black and white print top with boot cut pants (because it was 2007), pointy-toe boots and silver jewelry that, of course, included hoops.  Last but certainly not least is Williams, who slayed in a sheer silver dress from Atelier Zuhra at the premiere. Now she's definitely the most evolved in terms of style, but there was one sparkly silver dress we spotted on her at the 2005 World Music Award that was reminiscent of Tuesday's. The shiny pieces may be bigger and the neckline may be chicer, but there's definitely still a showgirl within the Chad Loves Michelle star.
