@@تتاللننتالتا he meant that he taught her how to act , obviously as a joke , every one knows how good an actress meryl streep is

The full context is that he build up the sentences like he was expectedly nervous working with her because he'd feel inferior at acting with such a legendary actress but ended it like (as a joke of course) he was nervous because she's the inferior one but turned out it was unnecessary to be nervous because she was open minded and willing to learn. That "willing to learn" line is the turning point that reverses the meaning of why he was nervous in the beginning.
