'You made me too skinny. It's not me'
The project's producer John Lyons also shared that the singer took on a"really tough physical regimen and diet" for the role, going on a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet for the part.
"[Beyoncé's team was] keenly aware of the expectations that both the music business and Hollywood frequently have for how young, beautiful women should look and were smart about making those ideas work to their ends," he noted. The oral history also revealed that Beyonce's sister, Solange Knowles, was originally going to appear in the film as well -- but Tina Knowles allegedly nixed the idea.
"I put her sister, Solange, in it as Foxxy's backup singer," recalled choreographer Marguerite Derricks."I remember Beyoncé and I giggling because she was young and everything in Austin Powers is so suggestive. 'He's got the Midas touch, but he touched it too much' — that was a lyric that we were freaking out about for her sister."
Added costume designer Deena Appel:"What happened, the way I understood it, was when Tina heard the song and realized what that really meant, she felt it wasn’t appropriate for Solange. I want to say the costume had already been built, so it was a mad scramble to find somebody to replace her."
