For Meryl Streep, playing the formidable Miranda Priestly in
The Devil Wears Prada
was absolutely no fun, quite the contrary.
Indeed, the Oscar-winning actress had decided to use Method Acting, a technique consisting of emotionally connecting to the character in order to deliver the best possible performance.
Except that the depressive character of Miranda Priestly ended up literally depressing Meryel Streep!
" It was horrible.
I remained very sad in my dressing room.
I could hear everyone laughing and letting go.
I was so depressed!
I was like, “Well, this is the price you pay to be the boss!”
This is the last time I try this Method (Acting) thing!
“, She recalled during a reunion of the cast of the film organized by Entertainment Weekly.
However, fifteen years later, the other stars of the 2006 film have fond memories of the actress.
Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway agree
“Meryl is so sociable and fun to be around.
In a way, it wasn't much fun for her to have to change her character.
But it's not like she was unapproachable.
You could go up to her and say, 'Oh my God, something super fun has happened,' and she was listening, 'said Emily Blunt, for whom
The Devil Wears Prada
has been a real stepping stone.
Same feeling with Anne Hathaway who, even if she had found Meryl Streep "intimidating", had also felt her benevolence.
