Meryl Streep: Mamma Mia! splits were real
Meryl Streep has denied rumors she used a body double in new movie Mamma Mia! – insisting she performed the “splits” for real.
In one scene the star is seen bouncing on a bed before flinging her legs out in midair to perform the notoriously tricky manoeuvre.
But Streep, 59, insists that she didn’t need any help.
She says, “They ask – was there a body double? Yeah, right! Or was it CGI? Of course! They grafted my face onto (Olympic gymnast) Olga Korbut’s body! I just did the splits on instinct. That’s what always happens with my acting.”
