THE secret to a cameo role dancing in a game-changing Beyonce music video?

Just let loose.

Tennis champion Serena Williams has recounted how she came to have a part in the singer’s visual album, Lemonade.

Williams says, “I have known the director since I was like nine years old. I know Beyonce pretty well, so they were like, ‘We would love for you to be in this particular song. It’s about strength and it’s about courage and that’s what we see you as’.”

Williams’ twerking appearance came on the song Sorry, which features Beyonce showing her man the stupidity of his cheating ways.

“She told me that she just wants me to dance, like just be really free and just dance like nobody’s looking and go all out,” the tennis star said.

“So that wasn’t easy in the beginning, but then it got easier ... I thought that particular song on the visual album was really a strong song, and it was also really fun at the same time.’’

In a video online, featuring the star and her dog Chip, Williams said she was honoured to take part in the video.

“It was fun. It was a great experience,” she said.

“I love to dance — little known fact — but, I actually really love dancing. It’s just makes me really, really relaxed and it’s also a good way to work out without, like, being on the treadmill ...

“But yeah, it was great. I love her and she’s a great person. Her visual album was an amazing thing and I just felt really honoured, really, just to be a part of it.”

She added that her dog was also on-set but hasn’t made his music video debut — yet.
