Rumours are flying that Beyonce will voice Nala in the new ‘Lion King’ movie

Plans are afoot (or apaw) for Disney’s live-action Lion King movie.

Rumours are flying around Hollywood that mama-to-be Beyonce will voice Nala in the upcoming remake. Sources have told Variety that Beyonce is director Jon Favreau’s top choice to voice the lioness. The insiders have stressed that the singer, who is pregnant with twins, has yet to make a decision on the voice-acting role. However, the studio and director have apparently said that they will do whatever it takes to accommodate the soon to be mum-of-three. The original Lion King movie was released in 1994 and remains one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time. Join the conversation on Twitter @HerFamilydotie
