MERYL STREEP What She Is Really Like As A Mother ★

Mamie Gummer admits that her mum Meryl Streep sometimes would talk about her on talk shows, and she didn't like that as a kid. She also told me what it's really like bringing friends home from school when your mum is Meryl Streep. This interview is for Ricky and The Flash where they played mother and daughter in 2015.

MY VLOG SERIES - A SNEAK PEAK INTO HOLLYWOOD AND BEHIND THE SCENES:
I also have a VLOG series where I take you behind the scenes from when I meet with Hollywood stars at different interview locations and give you a little sneak peak of what it's like to interview some of Hollywoods biggest stars. In my VLOGS I also take you to premieres, Hollywood parties, premiere after-parties, red carpets, The Oscars, The Golden Globes - and travels to film festivals, like Toronto, Cannes and Venice, comic-con in San Diego, as well as the typical film junket. I share some of my favorite interview tricks, some amazing, funny moments, but also some of my bloopers and less proud or awkward moments. So please come along for the ride behind the scenes in Hollywood, and don’t hesitate to ask questions or leave comments in the description section. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

She looks like a mixture of her mother and Princess Diana

[@anamairarezendedebritogama3]

What??? Princess Diana ??? No way... Diana was very beautiful and unique!!!

[@siennaioana6763]

Princess Diana was a beauty, what a strange comparation 😂😂😂😂😂

(And Laura Dern :-)

[@daCubanaqt]

I actually see Carolyn Bessette Kennedy

[@princepeterwolf]

Her voice is SO similar to her mom's

[@pile333]

Like her smile and her eyes and the facial profile.

[@rikomw]

Even the cadence of her speech is just like Meryl's. Wild.

[@pleaseloveitt3306]

I think is similar to dakota johnson's voics

[@oscarrimore]

Yes she speaks exactly like her

[@emilyeld]

i was thinking that too

[@zephyrusb.2834]

Fans of Meryl know this from me, she is a good person when she is not being interviewed or onstage. I wrote her a fan letter, and she wrote me back in cursive.

[@alaoros]

How did u send it?

[@ronricooandasan9612]

um... would you be willing to share with us her response? If not, we understand. :) hehe Happy Easter from the Philippines (in advance)

[@zephyrusb.2834]

Ron Rico Oandasan i asked her about her costumer and if some of her costumes like from lemony snicket and in to the woods were uncomfortable. apparently they were made by the same person (colleen atwood) and they were tremendously itchy. she also said she loves music and work very much which makes her weird. (she mentioned she was weird 3 times). she also said she loved having younger fans. thats mostly it the other stuff was private. nice side-note though she thought the year was 2005 and had to blot out the second 0

[@zephyrusb.2834]

Pancake Gaming sorry for the late response* I don't remeber i was eleven

[@littleheath3376]

Meryl Streep has a house in Aspen where she spends a few months of the year. According to the locals she only answers to the name of Mrs Green . My friend who is Australian and stays at a ski lodge not far away from Meryls home. One morning as he walked past he saw her on the balcony drinking a coffee , he said loudly " good morning Mrs Green " & she looked at him and smiled and replied " good morning kind Sir ".

[@distantraveller9876]

That doesn't sound like her at all tbh and she was never married to anyone named Green so not sure why she would answer to that name.

[@EvaSofie]

@@distantraveller9876 Well she is very humble so that part is right though.

[@anjou6497]

@@distantraveller9876 using a pseudonym if you're famous is a very wise idea in some situations, for safety & anonyminity .. She probably wanted some peace ! I like the name Mrs Green., simple and unpretentious.

[@patricelockertanthony7630]

​@@distantraveller9876 It sounds exactly like her actually. She was using a false name so as to not draw attention from tourists. They don't want to be overcome or overwhelmed by celebrity fanatics, or paparazzi. The people who live there, and those who find out, and address her by the pseudonym "Mrs. Green" are graciously greeted with "...kind Sir" or "...kind ma'am" for doing her and her family the FAVOR of keeping her identity pretense going. I'm sure that if you'd thought about it just a bit longer, you'd have figured that out. Hmm...?

I remember the day when in front of me in the check- out line of our local supermarket in Millerton, NY, there was Meryl Streep in overalls with this young woman who was then probably one year-old being carried on Meryl’s hip. Couldn’t have been a more down to earth sight!

All her characters rise triumphant in the end. Please! Overrated.

[@fullmoon5971]

No one is perfect.

[@Flaawsometalk]

Please take into consideration: This interview is about what the title indicates. Meryl and Mamie were acting in a movie were they played mother and daughter so that is the angle of this interview. A lot of people keep commenting on why I asked Mamie so many questions about her mother, and the reason is because I think a lot of people would like to know what it's like to grow up with Meryl Streep as your mother. That is probably also why so many people have watched this video. If it's any consolation I did ask Mamie a lot more questions about her own career, because my interview with her was a lot longer than what I am showing in this piece. She was very sweet and I had a lovely time with both ladies who didn't seem to mind at all that they were talking about each other. After all they did sign up to do a movie together - where they also play mother and daughter. Thanks for watching, and thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope to see you again here on my channel. Love K

[@Sebastianmaz615]

She sounds like her mother and some of her mannerisms are similar, but other than that I'd probably never guessed that Meryl Streep was her mom. 👍🏻😊 Love Meryl's outlook when she talks about her children not being seen as "props" and keeping them away from cameras; extremely smart parenting, imo. 5:02

[@davidgray8739]

What a wonderful woman ❤️ I’d be so proud as a parent to have such a humble, intelligent person as a daughter x

[@victorseger6044]

but would you be proud of an arrogant indoctrinated piece of shit for a mother ?

[@viviangerow6114]

I watched the interview and realized that she was Nancy Crozier on the Good Wife. She was sweet and a b-word at the same time. She was great.

[@sarahfaber5335]

I really respect that she was kept safe from public scrutiny by her parents.

[@awkwardrama]

I can’t get over how similar she is with her mother. The way she speaks, even her mannerisms. *side note: I saw this film and she did a remarkable job! I was so impressed by her acting, I wasn’t even paying attention to Meryl most of the time.

[@Ladywrip]

OMG, I didn't know SHE was Meryl Streep's daughter! She's actually a very talented actress in her own right, I looooooooooooved her on "The Good Wife" - she was so funny in her role, and I always enjoyed the episodes where Felicia had to go against her in court. She was also my favorite character in "Jenny's wedding" (honestly, that movie SUCKED, but Mamie was great in it).

[@creative45630]

ViXenBeats YES the Good Wife, that’s where I’ve seen her! Thanks. Agree she was brilliant in that

Was good movie Jenny wedding fun fun really educative at that moment of time !!&

Mamie Gummer starred in a show of her own called Emily Owens MD about 8 years ago that was absolutely funny and heartwarming and even has a 7.5 on imdb. I don't know why that show was canceled because it was great. I can't believe it was only on for one season.

[@gailcaldwell1512]

I LOVED that show too. And I was so sad that it didn’t make it And I couldn’t figure out why. It had everything a great show needed. I thought Mamie was great in it. Not many remember it, so I’m so glad to know someone else out there was digging it.

[@margarethoffmann8427]

Not accurate. They were raised very normally in a quiet Parr of Connecticut. Sure, they had money. But this is not how they were raised. It is one reason people gravitate to the NW corner of CT. Meryl came from a good family, went to Vassar & Yale, has had one marriage to a lovely artist and zero scandals. She is the real thing.
