During a recent episode of “The Graham Norton Show“, Meryl Streep left Hugh Grant speechless with her candid remarks about their co-stars. Grant, known for his charm and wit, didn’t hold back when asked about his leading ladies. Emma Thompson, known for her cleverness and humor, was described by Grant as “mad” and having a peculiar chair. Renée Zellweger, on the other hand, was deemed delightful but known for sending 48-page-long emails that Grant couldn’t understand and jokingly suggested putting them on Twitter.
Grant also praised Sandra Bullock‘s genius but remarked on her love for dogs, noting that she had too many for his taste. The segment continued with Grant admitting that Julianne Moore was a brilliant actress who, unfortunately, loathed him, while Rachel Weisz was both clever and beautiful but also despised him. To everyone’s surprise, Grant revealed that he had made Drew Barrymore cry, and she now hates him.
Amidst the playful banter, Grant was asked about his own nerves when working with such talented co-stars. Streep, who had previously stated she was aware of the effect she had on a cast, asked Grant if he ever felt nervous. Grant admitted that he was nervous every day, to which Streep lightheartedly responded, “Aren’t you nervous right now?” Grant confessed that while he may appear relaxed on chat shows, internally he was still uptight.
The conversation took a more serious turn when Streep reminisced about a particularly nerve-wracking moment during the shoot, where they performed at Carnegie Hall. Grant admitted that he was shaking with nervousness, making it clear that even seasoned actors like him can experience jitters.
Although known for his magnetic performances, Grant admitted that chat shows were hard for him. Streep, a master at putting uptight individuals at ease, praised Grant for his ability to relax the most anxious guests. Grant, in his modesty, acknowledged Streep’s talent and remarked that he didn’t know how she did it.
Overall, this episode of “The Graham Norton Show” provided a glimpse into the humorous and candid world of A-list celebrities. It served as a reminder that even those at the pinnacle of their craft can experience nerves and difficult moments. Grant’s insights into his co-stars and his own insecurities added depth to the entertaining conversation, making it a must-watch for fans of both the chat show and the talented celebrities involved.
