Meryl Streep has revealed which of her former co-stars ‘annoyed’ her during the filming of an iconic movie.
The 76-year-old Mamma Mia star is once again back on the big screen to reprise her role as Miranda Priestly in the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.
Joined by the original cast members from the 2006 movie, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, the film has so far received rave reviews from fans who have hailed it as ‘phenomenal’.
However, speaking ahead of its release, the Oscar-winning actress revisited some of her earlier roles, including one which proved problematic at the time.
Talking to Vanity Fair, Streep said she had one particular bone to pick with Goldie Hawn, who she starred alongside in the 1992 movie Death Becomes Her, which also featured Bruce Willis.
Recalling their time together on set, she said: ‘Goldie, she was always late to set. And I’m always on time, you know, and annoying.’
‘But she was so adorable. She had a red convertible, I remember, and she’d drive herself to set. So that was probably the problem.
‘She’d drive herself to set. She had her hair all… “Oh gosh, sorry!” And everybody thought, “Oh, she’s so cute.” Yeah. So I had a beef with her.’
Despite their ‘beef’, Streep emphasised, however, that she loved their time working together.
Calling it ‘silly and fabulous’, she said that they ‘had a lot of fun’ and are ‘good buddies’ today.
‘We just laughed. We just had a lot of fun. And she’s the best laugher in America, really,’ she added.
‘She laughs like, “Ahahaha!” And then they have to stop shooting. But that part was fun.
‘Over the years, we’ve had some laughs about that movie because people love it. I thought it was like a documentary on Beverly Hills.’
This comes after the reason why Streep has never attended the Met Gala was revealed earlier this week.
This year’s Met Gala on May 4 will take place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, with Beyoncé returning for the first time in 10 years as she serves as a co-chair alongside Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams.
But, despite the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2 coming just days prior to the fashion event, Streep will not be making an appearance.
A representative for the 76-year-old icon told Metro: ‘Meryl has been invited to the Met Gala for many years but has never attended.
‘While she appreciates Vogue, Anna, and her incredible imagination and stamina, it has never quite been her scene.’
Metro has approached Goldie Hawn’s representatives for comment.
