Meryl Streep has opened up about a long-standing 'beef' with Goldie Hawn, stemming from their time filming the 1992 movie Death Becomes Her. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the 76-year-old actress admitted that Hawn's habitual lateness irritated her during production.
Streep, known for her punctuality, recalled: 'Goldie, she was always late to set. And I’m always on time, you know, and annoying.' She noted that Hawn would drive herself to set in a red convertible, apologising with 'Oh gosh, sorry!' which only added to the frustration. 'So I had a beef with her,' Streep said.
Despite the tension, Streep emphasised that the pair are now 'good buddies' and look back on the film fondly. 'We just laughed. We just had a lot of fun. And she’s the best laugher in America, really,' she added. Streep described Death Becomes Her as 'silly and fabulous' and noted that they have shared many laughs over the years about the movie.
The revelation comes as Streep promotes the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, in which she reprises her role as Miranda Priestly. The film, released on Friday, has received rave reviews from fans.
Streep also addressed her absence from the Met Gala, revealing she has never attended despite being invited for years. A representative said she 'appreciates Vogue, Anna, and her incredible imagination and stamina, but it has never quite been her scene.'
