Would actress Nina Millin try to mock Queen Bey’s greatness? We watched, phone in hand in case a call to the [Beygency](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGxe83lXgJg "undefined") was necessary, and were overall impressed. Millin gives Beyoncé the Shakespearean gravitas she is owed. “I think I misunderstood how beloved Beyoncé is,” Millin admitted to [_Esquire_](http://www.esquire.com/blogs/culture/the-beyonce-monologues?click=main%5Fsr "undefined")_._ “I think we’re really on to something here.” There are currently three total videos and hopefully more on the way.
