Beyonce was actually photoshopped into her cast picture for The Lion King

She’s one of the lead stars in the remake – but Beyonce actually had to be photoshopped in to the official cast photo for The Lion King.

The Single Ladies singer “wasn’t there” according to her co-star John Oliver (who plays ZaZu).

Speaking to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, John said: “She wasn’t there. No she wasn’t there… I think almost everyone else was there.”

The photo features Beyonce alongside John, along with cast-mates Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, Eric André, Florence Kasumba, Keegan-Michael Key, JD McCrary and Shahadi Wright Joseph all dressed in black.

Beyonce is in the centre of the photo in the back row, but as soon as the picture was released fans became suspicious that she was photoshopped in.

Oliver, who appears in the frame just to the right of queen Bey, recalled to Colbert his experience at the shoot.

“Chiwetel Ejiofor was sitting in the front and he said, ‘You need to be careful where your foot is.’ I looked down and and there was just this piece of tape on the floor with Beyonce’s written name on it!”

John joked that he was nervous even imagining the singer being there.

“It was like an electrical reaction. Just the future presence of Beyonce was so intimidating,” he admitted.

“If you look at my face in there, I look really intimidated and that’s because what I’m doing is imagining that I am about to be put into a photo with Beyonce one day, and that was nerve-wracking enough!”
