What role did Beyoncé play in the 2009 film Obsessed?

Beyoncé played Sharon Charles in the 2009 film Obsessed.

Obsessed is a psychological thriller directed by Steve Shill. Beyoncé stars opposite Idris Elba, who plays her husband Derek Charles, and Ali Larter, who plays Lisa Sheridan, a coworker who becomes dangerously fixated on Derek.

Sharon is Derek’s wife and the central character who confronts the threat to her family. The film was released in April 2009 and became a commercial success despite receiving mixed reviews from critics.

Beyoncé’s role is sometimes confused with her other film characters. She played Deena Jones in Dreamgirls, Foxxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers in Goldmember, and voiced Nala in the 2019 remake of The Lion King. Sharon Charles is specifically the character from Obsessed.
