The Devil Wears Prada 2 star Meryl Streep had one big complaint about working with Goldie Hawn
The Devil Wears Prada 2 star Meryl Streep has revealed she had a "beef" with Goldie Hawn while they were working on Death Becomes Her together because the Private Benjamin star was "always late to set".
Meryl Streep had a "beef" with Goldie Hawn while they were making Death Becomes Her because she was "always late to set".
The pair teamed up for the 1992 black comedy in which they played friends caught in a love triangle complicated by a magic potion which gives them everlasting life and Meryl - whose latest film The Devil Wears Prada 2 is in cinemas from Friday (01.05.26) - has admitted she wasn't a fan of Goldie's tardiness.
In an interview with Vanity Fair - posted on YouTube - Meryl explained: "Goldie, she was always late to set. But she was so adorable.
"And I’m always on time, you know, and annoying. But she’s late, and 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."
However, The Devil Wears Prada 2 star Meryl insists they pair went on to become close friends and they still look back fondly on Death Becomes Her.
She added: "I loved her. I love her. She’s one of my buddies, and 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."
Meryl and Goldie shared the screen in Death Becomes Her with Bruce Willis - whose character finds himself at the centre of the love triangle between the two undead women - and the Oscar-winner admits the Die Hard actor was "divine" to work with despite his "bad boy" reputation.
She added: "Oh Bruce was divine! I guess he was a bad boy on certain sets and came with a little reputation for being difficult but we had so much fun with him.
"He was such a gent and so game and willing to be ridiculous. And I just thought he was wonderful."
It comes after Meryl Streep confessed she was "ready to retire" from Hollywood before she signed up for The Devil Wears Prada.
The 76-year-old actress almost missed out on playing Miranda Priestly, the formidable Runway Magazine editor, in the 2006 comedy-drama film, but decided to "double" her salary ask.
Appearing on Wednesday's (29.04.26) edition of NBC's TODAY with Jenna + Sheinelle, Meryl revealed: "They called me up, and they made an offer, and I said, 'No, not going to do it.'"
After Jenna Bush Hager, 44, quizzed the Hollywood legend why, Streep replied: "I knew it was going to be a hit and I wanted to see if I doubled my ask... "And they went right away and said, 'Sure.' And I thought, I'm 50, 60, it took me this long to understand that I could do that. They needed me, I felt.
"I was ready to retire, but that was a lesson."
