Meryl Streep slams male stars over surgery

Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep has hit out at male stars who have plastic surgery in a bid to retain their youthful looks – insisting they should give up and “embrace getting older”.

The 59-year-old claims she has always resisted the temptation to go under the knife, but is worried about the growing number of actors who are looking to surgeons for a helping hand with their appearance.

She says, “You’d be amazed how many men in the industry have gone down that road. I don’t get it. I think you have to embrace getting older and celebrate life.”

And Streep insists she is actually more secure in her work now that she is no longer considered a Hollywood beauty.

She adds, “The good thing about getting older is that when they do cast you it’s often something interesting – you’re no longer asked to be the beautiful leading lady. You’re allowed to do different things. I’ve had some very interesting parts over the past few years in films that examine all the idiosyncrasies people have.”

Meryl Streep: Mamma Mia! splits were real

Meryl Streep

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.”

Helen Mirren was cast in The Last Station after Meryl Streep rejected the part

Helen Mirren

Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren was only cast in a new epic movie because Meryl Streep turned down her part.

The star plays the wife of War And Peace author Leo Tolstoy in new movie The Last Station, but she wasn’t director Michael Hoffman’s first choice for the role.

But Mirren insists she is unfazed by the knowledge she failed to make the top of Hoffman’s wish list – and instead the knock back inspires her to work even harder to prove herself.

She says, “Michael, I know very well that you offered the part to Meryl Streep before me, but it just makes me want to work all the harder. It’s a really great role, and Meryl: I’m afraid you made a big mistake.”

Tom Hanks urges SAG leaders to begin talks to avoid summer strike

Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Meryl Streep, and Robert DeNiro have all taken out newspaper ads appealing to leaders of the Screen Actors Guild to start talks with movie studios in an effort to avert a possible strike. SAG members will reportedly hold a mass walk-out this summer after their current contract expires on June 30th if negotiations with studio bosses over pay and conditions do not prove fruitful.

The Hollywood stars want SAG directors to enter talks with studios before it’s too late to avoid strike action, and took out ads in trade papers Variety and The Hollywood Reporter to appeal to the leaders of the 120,000-strong union.

Their call comes just days after the Writers Guild of America (WGA) members voted to end a three-month strike over Internet royalties – which has crippled the American TV and movie industry – earlier this week. SAG national executive director Doug Allen insisted the union would open negotiations “at a time that will most benefit our members”.
