Laverne Cox: 'Beyoncé asked me to be in her 'Sorry' video'

Actress Laverne Cox has revealed that she was asked to appear in Beyoncé's promo video for 'Sorry', but unfortunately wasn't able to shoot the scene on time. 

She told Access Hollywood Live that Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, called her up with specific directions for the clip: "She's (Tina) like, 'Could you make a video of yourself with some great lighting... I know you're shooting... and could you get the DP (director of photography) to shoot you saying I'm not sorry in the camera?'"

"They were just gonna try to do it at the last minute; they wanted to get me and other powerful women doing this... I was like, 'Well, I'm shooting this movie... I'm in this very specific costume. And then Beyoncé had to deliver the album and so they scrapped the idea. But, for 48 hours we trying to figure (it) out... It was just an amazing honour to be asked."
