Wonder Woman herself turned to Queen Bey right before doing a camera test for 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. “That was torture,” Gadot admitted of the experience. “They were looking at six or seven girls, and we were all in separate trailers and were told to stay inside until they called us.” So how did the 31-year-old mom of two beat her nerves? With Queen Bey. “Who runs the world? Girls!” said Gadot, quoting Beyoncé’s “Run the World (Girls).” She added, “I just started to dance, and I let my anxiety go. Thank you, Beyoncé!”

<p>Sure, Beyoncé is known to get serious when it comes to her projects, but that doesn&#8217;t mean the star is all work and no play – which Lady Gaga made apparent <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/1625516/lady-gaga-on-beyonce-she-is-a-real-real-woman/">when she opened up to MTV</a> about working alongside the &#8220;Daddy Lessons&#8221; singer on 2008&#8217;s &#8220;Video Phone.&#8221; &#8220;You know, [Beyoncé] is such a beautiful person, and I gotta tell you, I just adore her,&#8221; says Gaga. &#8220;I had kind of lost faith a little bit in meeting artists in the business – and then I met Beyoncé. She is a real, real woman. I have never laughed so hard on a video set in my life. We had the best time doing &#8220;Video Phone.&#8221;&#8221;</p>

<p>The <em>Pitch Perfect</em> star might just have the best Beyoncé encounter story of all time. &#8220;I know everybody is, but I&#8217;m obsessed with Beyoncé.

You&#8217;re such an inspiration.&#8217; And she stood up – she was so nice – and she points to Jay Z and says &#8216;We just watched you in the Kennedy Show Honors. You&#8217;re so great, you&#8217;re so cute in your little red dress,&#8217; and she saw I had a little red dress, which means she actually watched it!
