She continued: “I’m thinking in my mind, ‘Who is this?’ And I looked at [Jay-Z] and he looked tall, and thin, and had curly hair, and was really good-looking.” When she spotted Beyoncé, she reveals she thought: “Oh, my God!”
Monaghan, who in New York to visit her daughter that weekend, said: “I looked at her and all I could think was, ‘No one is going to believe me.’”
