Still, he doesn’t sing nor does he plan to go into the family business.

Hm, what does he want to do when he grows up?

“Soccer player!”

Here comes Beyoncé, who calls filming the documentary “awesome.”

And now it’s director Ed Burke’s turn.   

“I think it’s important for people to see her for who she really is, which I think nobody has experienced,” he says. “She is humble, down-to-earth, normal.”

He admits the boat moment he captured with Beyoncé and Jay-Z is the most intimate.

“He is an amazing father,” the director says. “It was the most surprising thing in the whole documentary. He’s in there, and it’s a beautiful thing, as her husband.”
