Meryl Streep's Wild Career Stories

0:00It's May 2nd. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI, what everyone's talking about. Meryl Streep just dropped some wild stories from her career in a vanity fair chat. She's gushing over Robert Redford from their 1985 flick out of Africa, calling him the most divine man ever during that famous river, hairwashing scene. She insists it was pure love, not sex, just tender care that felt so real she hated for it to end. But things got real scary on that same shoot. They were filming by the river with hippos lurking close by, and one charged the crew mouth wide open, forcing everyone to bolt for safety. Streep new hippos killed more folks in Africa than lions, and those imported lions weren't even tame like promised. She also spilled on a little said beef with Goldihon back on. Death becomes her in 1992. Goldie rode up late every day in her red convertible, super adorable, but frustrating since Streep's always punctual. Still, no hard feelings.

1:01Fast forward to the Devilwares Prada. Streep turned down the iconic Miranda priestly role at first, because the pay was too low. At 56, she doubled her ask, knowing it'd be a smash, and they caved since they needed her bad. Two decades on, she's reprising the role in the sequel. Proving she knows her worth after all these years of killer instincts on and off screen.
