Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant talk "Florence Foster Jenkins" and politics

[@JustAnotherFangirl67]

I'm glad Hugh is back on the screen

[@mollydyke2313]

God I don’t like the tone of this interview at all. Meryl looks really uncomfortable. I hate how they started with “so how was it to work with an academy award winning actress Hugh?” both of them looked really uncomfortable. Meryl must be so fed up of people saying that. She just wants to be valued the same as any other actress. Not more or less. They should have focused more on the movie rather than on politics!!

[@gabrild2]

0:59 Her sudden facial expression change out of a sudden is just a slice of her theatrical genius. Should've win all 18 times she was nominated.

[@vanessaabiola1340]

19* times she was nominated - i agree

[@victormunoz7209]

Gabriel Augusto Now 20

[@vanessaabiola1340]

yes and thats is wonderful

[@johnmac91]

She is a very good actress, but I think Trump was right in a sense when he said she was overrated. And before you jump down my throat, NO, I'm not saying she isn't a great actress - she IS. All I'm saying is that now that she has obtained, as the interviewer says here, "icon" status, people automatically praise everything she does, whether it's deserved or not. (Everyone here oohing and aahing over her facial expression in this interview is a perfect example). A movie comes out now with Meryl Streep in it and everyone fawns over it. No one wants to be the first one to say that a Meryl Streep movie sucks, or is just okay. Everything she does is "wonderful" and "brilliant", etc. If she had gotten up and defecated on that sofa, people here would be admiring her excrement and saying it was a brilliant piece of method acting.

[@vanessaabiola1340]

I can't agree on you, that people are saying, everything she does is wonderful and brilliant, etc.. Cuz when she had an opinion about Trump, she got a lot of hate, and now every time she opens her mouth about politics she gets hate from somebody. And another thing i can't agree on is that she is overrated, like you dont hear a lot about her, on a daily basis, like paparazzia takes pictures of her (before all that with politics) Im not the right person to defend Meryl, but i like the way you share your opinion

[@rossen8384]

Goodness she is 67, and she looks beautiful!

[@BrokebackBob]

....thanks to her stylist and CBS....don't kid yourself...get yourself a stylist if you don't want to look like an old shoe at 65.

[@BrokebackBob]

***** That is true! But I still look 7 years younger than her without makeup and I don't wear makeup. Love Meryl forever though.

[@cugierkoteczka]

your judgment may be impaired

[@CJCappella]

Roshii Senn - is 67 supposed to look bad?

[@johnmac91]

Professional makeup and lighting also help.

[@YKTurner1]

It's one of the BEST comedy movies of 2016..both Streep and Grant put on excellent performances as does the actor Simon Helberg who played the pianist. It's a must watch movie even if you get it on DVD it will make the best Christmas present for an older generation with an acute sense of humour and a soft heart...love it

[@daisyhoward5472]

Well said.

[@thedarci1368]

Indeed it is:)

[@AJtraductora]

She looks so much younger than she does on film! Love her!

[@jimbuxton2187]

She was 66 in this movie!

[@silvanamariaga2281]

I didn't quite care for the tone of these questions...seems to me that the reporters wanted to come off looking cool rather than have a genuine interest for Meryl, Hugh or their work.....it's painful to see the PR gigs some of our greatest actors have to endure....

[@timeandsilence1]

So disappointed to see those awful people trying to trick Meryl and Hugh into taking sides politically. Ugh. Go away media. Stick to your art, Meryl and Hugh--that's why we love you. Shame on Charlie Rose, the old goat.

[@bojack40]

Kate Johnson all life is political, and Merck’s politics are well known

[@lray1948]

I think she spoke at the Democratic national Convention in 2016. That's where those pics of her at the podium were made

[@sarahm.5356]

I don't think either of their political views are unknown.

[@kriziatesta4863]

She's a living legend !

[@himamamo]

Meryl streep is one of the most amazing actresses , she is beyond any act 🙏🏾👏🏾, Hugh was great 👍🏾 in this movie , they have a wonderful chemistry.

[@merienmikeri4994]

Omg! Grant never looked better. He is so wow!

[@KariAaraas100]

Yes, he did actually look better back in the nineties. He's awesome in every way. But he does NOT look better now than 10-20 years ago.

[@rumblefish9]

@@KariAaraas100 he aged wonderfully. Naturally rather than have surgery. He looks great!

[@liilu8]

you know what im amazed about. I have watched all their interviews... as a classical singer I am happy for once Hollywood has made something about classical singing so I have watched all their interviews and what is amazing to me is that they repeat themselves like billion times and every time they tell their jokes it seems they are telling it for the first time....for example Hugh's dancing.... he has made that same joke in at least 5 interviews :))))

[@kelleymomelley]

I love Florence Foster Jenkins....and I was so excited when I heard Meryl Streep was playing her. I had high expectations for the movie...and all of the actors exceeded my expectations.

[@Mark-zu6oz]

It was really well done.

[@jewgirl952]

Yes, Meryl is beautiful, with a natural beauty, and a wonderful actor!

[@petrfrizen6078]

Mr. Grant: TOGETHER WE’LL MAKE AMERICA AND THE WHOLE PLANET DANCING AGAIN!!! Wunderbar, vraiment!

[@larrydirtybird]

I love the expression she makes at 1:00. She always rolls with the humor. I remember at the Oscars when Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt were presenting and said they had forgotten to get Meryl her cappuccino and she immediately gave them a Miranda Priestly cold stare.

[@TGATP]

Florence brings me such Joy. She teaches us all the vital lesson to just do what you love in life despite your limitations and what others say. Just do it.

[@belkamaltezerka4934]

Meryl took the Oscar,but Hugh was brilliant!! He was really magnificent...He is a great actor...!!

[@VeNuS2910]

she is a very nice lady. she doesn't like to make fun of anybody and she's very careful with the words she'd say. :)

[@pennynewell2965]

VeNuS2910.I agree, she's very gracious and I believe her interviewers were trying to set her up with their rude comments...didn't work, though...Meryl's a pro and she eats rude press hogging idiots for breakfast...you go, girl!

[@tuainengametua9371]

0:59 her face though just made me laugh all night actually made my night buahahah lol

[@yourmajesty5197]

liked the movie very much. but i love watching them do press together for the film. so charming together friendly very nice to see

[@cattogirl999]

#Fact Hugh Grant has nice vocal ❤ And he's brilliant on this movie 👍

[@faifai2961]

ohhh meryl streep.... I love you so much....

[@springhernandez7417]

Huge Grant! 🤗🥰

[@BeemerTwelve]

The laugh @1:00 came straight from Marlboro country.

[@klaasvanderkrabben8136]

LOL!! :)

[@helenvalencia8016]

hahahahhahahhahaha!!!......................

[@rumblefish9]

I watched this in 2021 and it was jarring...

[@conniegee8664]

This interview started with the two actors talking about the movie, but then switched to politics rather quickly at the 3:05 min mark. I knew Streep was a passionate Democrat, but I didn't know Grant was also active in England.

[@rhondarust7969]

I have now watched several interviews with Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant.....they are both hilarious...but [particularly Hugh...had no idea he is so flippant about himself ad him craft it amazinglhy refreshing and sooooo funny!

[@MultiSUPERLATIVO]

This film puts you in such an embarrassing situation, as a spectator. You feel sorry for Florence and for the people in general. It is so disturbing and magical at the same time. I never felt like this before, about a film. It is a very surprising work of art and it shows the magic of the movies. 10/10

[@hillaryd.t.gillings8567]

I just saw this movie for the first time by surfing the channel at my friend's home and I tell you I laughed so hard. It was so funny and sad, and at the end it was a true story. I should have known it was a true story--it felt so real. And to top everything, all the actors were great, but Meryl Streep and Simon Helberg, OMG! It was so, so, so good! And guess what, no profanities! We don't have to have cuss words to get a movie across to someone. It was so so good. I am looking to download the movie. Wait a minute, Meryl can sing. I'm trying to remember the words before she died (in the movie) I cannot remember. It came home to me. You should get a chance to watch it!

[@monalouss4895]

Hugh grant the best ❤

[@maryannewhite7300]

Je t'aime Hugh Grant !

[@lauracrvs]

I'm sorry but I can't stand the lady in the red dress. She just makes the interview uncomfortable.

[@winterramos4527]

laura v racist😂

[@mollydyke2313]

laura v so true!

[@mariendal1962]

I wonder how many times Meryl and Hugh broke down of laughter when making this film. Probably many times.

[@VivienneFinch]

I love true stories. This movie was so entertaining. They were both incredible!

[@louiel8368]

When they said meryls singing was so bad. That was the quickest face drop I've ever seen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂♥️

[@joanne1114]

Not only are they great actors, they’re also both great people.

[@seradar5000]

Meryl is one of the greatest film actresses of 21th century. She is so great! Good actors change in their roles.

[@DoloresGarcia-ly6ux]

Excelente película, los dos protagonistas estàn magníficos sin olvidar el "pianista" qué està también magnífico, su cara de sorpresa cuando escucha por primera vez cantar a la gràn DIVA, és muy divertido. Por muy raro qué parezca ese personaje existió, la realidad supera la ficción...

[@sunnivab302]

I thought this interview was about the movie.....

[@johnmac91]

Professional makeup and lighting don't hurt either.

[@MultiKarola]

they were quite rude to Meryl ;

[@johnob3710]

well they are so important after all

[@jukvox]

Agreed

[@ohwhatworld5851]

What parts were they rude?

[@jukvox]

i watched it again, it didn't impact me as rude as it did the first time i watched it, but I think the "rude bug" was triggered when the woman cut Meryl off on min 2:00... and how they spent so much time talking with Hugh at the end about politics while they have this 3 time oscar winner who has just made another amazing performance... i dont know...

[@ohwhatworld5851]

I think she just wanted to move the interview along, hosts do it all the time. I doubt they were being intentionally rude to her.

[@PatriCoop]

She's the bestest!

[@maryk.7376]

Meryl is great of cource!, but i believe that they should not talk about politics ! And the journalist is rude or something like that to Meryl.

[@mariaszczygielska3530]

When i was younger they used to say i looked like her but all they wanted from me was to make money out of me as a prozzie or as a stepping stone for themselves to be someone. Saying that i do not disrespect her because of the way life mistreats me, i was epitomized for so many years to be encouraged to go into the business and yet i felt that it was not for me. I stayed with my own values and office practice and yet i never became anything more than a dogsbody as a woman for the management that i worked for to attain credit in the companies that i worked for.

[@checkyourhead9]

She seems so humble and when someone calls her icon legend oscar winner she seems uncomfortable. Maybe thats just mebut if it were me i would feel awkward in a setting like that. Gayle definitely is an annoying interviewer. Talks over them, isnt very personable.she talks to them like they are aliens almost. Meryls answer that ended with "a huge wave of wonderfulness" was such a beautifully deep answer and it was completely ignored. P.s. ive been in love, seriously inlove with mr. Grant since 1991. He is still handsome and beautiful I love this movie so so much. Pity they didnt have the gentleman who played cosme mcmoon

[@ninafryd]

I am a general fan of Meryl Streep, and I do sincerely apologize for asking such a shallow question: but do anyone know which brand her blouse might be from, please? 🙏😍

[@Jabberstax]

It's a brilliant movie

[@kiahjones1746]

0:58 her face is so cuteee

[@scottdelong1]

Just saw the movie and it was hilarious yet touching. Great chemistry between Streep and Grant. BTW, doesn't Meryl Streep look beautiful here? She is aging with the grace that typified her film career.

[@wall-e7179]

So women's rights are important to Streep...yet she knew fine well what Harvey was like.

[@stilettonon4182]

She aged well !

[@DAreturner]

minor work done. Looking good now, looked even better Before.

[@seriousone8030]

Charlie Rose should sit up straight instead of slouching forward like that.

[@alexleders5789]

I think he can't do it

[@jennifercuddy5663]

How did I miss this film??

[@youngplacentaplacenta2863]

can't wait for mrs doubtfire 2!

[@bringiton5282]

All those pretentious pricks down there in the comment section ... I can't pinpoint the moment Charlie Rose has become a parody of himself but I can tell you that he is now.

[@herewegokids7]

😊

[@baconlab]

What about the movie? Why should this be political.......do not like this at all and I love Hugh. Bad interview.

[@richardc8029]

These are two of the greatest actors of our generation being asked some of the stupidest, most mundane questions imaginable. That they remained is a testimony to their genius.

[@katie4623]

Geez her skin is perfect! What's her secret?

[@skdreamers5401]

she is alway look pretty but how ?

[@Orangina4482]

Even Voltaire lived under the illusion that he could influence emperors. Dear lady, of such incomparable gifts do not fall into the same trap.

[@Orangina4482]

Dear X allow me to respectfully suggest you read your history sources with greater attention to detail. You might discover other versions to your interpretion of my message. But thank you for reading my comment.

[@davesolomon7995]

the most boring interview I've seen in my entire 30 years of existence

[@honggiangvogia]

Omg in his younger years, Hugh could play Meryl’s son, but now he plays her husband and it looks like there’s no age gap between them with or without the make up

[@rumblefish9]

The age gap between them is just 12 yrs and Florence's husband was younger than her irl. Also, men tend to age more than women. Hugh hasn't gone the way of plastic surgery unlike most Hollywood men his age.

[@barnabyrt1012]

Hugh Grant is more attractive than ever.

[@hongkijeremy5236]

Lucky for Jenkins. She met Chopin!!!

[@lordkingston]

Self-righteous Charlie Rose wanting to jump in and talk about politics would soon be exposed for his own hypocrisy and sexual misconduct and scandal...... such karmic justice..... broadcasters acting like they are the moral arbiters when they themselves are guilty of the same.

[@melaniexoxo]

Thats not a face that has had surgery. People need to chill

[@jaynebastone6856]

I was so surprised when saw movie!! I took piano lessons from Cosme McMoon when I was 11yrs old. I'm 80yrs old.now. He was very different than actor that played him!!

[@ternitamas]

she is talking about Trump right? He is scary, I would be scared if I lived in US and he won...

[@ambercheney6939]

I do live in the US and I'm more scared of Hillary winning.

[@Nazaba09]

+Amber Cheney agreed. It's like they say-it's the quiet ones you gotta watch out for. Trump doesn't scare me. He acts like a spoiled child so I just ignore him. Clinton could do real damage.
