Goldie Hawn Fires Back At Meryl Streep'S 'Tardy' Remarks With A Cheeky Twist

Goldie Hawn Claps Back with a Smile

Goldie Hawn isn't one to let a little teasing slide, especially when it comes from her longtime pal, Meryl Streep. Recently, the legendary Streep let it slip that Goldie had a knack for showing up late during their time filming the iconic movie "Death Becomes Her." But Goldie, in her signature playful style, has a different take on the situation.

In a candid chat with Entertainment Weekly, Goldie confessed, "I think I'm 15 minutes late to everything. I mean, honestly, it's unbelievable." With a chuckle, she added, "But it is our joke. She said I was too late on the set. Maybe she's too early. I don't know." Goldie and Meryl have been friends for decades, and it seems their playful banter is just another layer of their long-standing friendship.

"Sometimes when you're too early, you're still waiting for somebody and you think, 'Oh, god, where the hell is she?'" Goldie laughed, pointing out the upside of being fashionably late.

Meryl Streep's Side of the Story

The always punctual Meryl Streep has been busy promoting her latest project, "The Devil Wears Prada 2," while also reminiscing about her past work. In a recent Vanity Fair interview, she opened up about her "beef" with Goldie during the filming of "Death Becomes Her." Streep shared, "She was always adorable. And I was always on time to set, and annoying, but she's late, and she'd have a red convertible, and she'd drive herself to set. That was probably the problem."

Meryl's imitation of Goldie's bubbly demeanor had everyone in stitches. "And everybody thought, 'Aw, she's so cute!' So I had a beef with her," she joked, all in good spirits. Despite their differences in punctuality, Meryl made it clear that she loves Goldie and values their friendship, which has been filled with laughter and love over the years.

The Legacy of 'Death Becomes Her'

Released in 1992, "Death Becomes Her" turned heads with its unique storyline and star-studded cast. Starring Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn, the film followed the tumultuous friendship between their characters, who were both vying for the affection of a plastic surgeon played by Bruce Willis.

The movie tackled themes of beauty and vanity, remaining a beloved classic in both actresses' careers. Its influence has even extended beyond the silver screen, inspiring a Broadway adaptation and serving as the muse for Sabrina Carpenter's music video "Taste," featuring Jenna Ortega. "Death Becomes Her" continues to be a cultural touchstone, demonstrating the enduring appeal of its stars and story.
