Lily James Reveals What Happened the First Time She Met Meryl Streep
Lily James is on the cover of Allure magazine’s August 2018 issue!
Here’s what the 29-year-old Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again star had to share with the mag…
On not letting work get in the way of enjoying her life: “You could go home early and sleep and not drink beer and not have a club sandwich when you get in at 2 in the morning…But that’s not as fun. I don’t want to look back and think, I wish I’d made more of my life and the people in it. I don’t want that to be the cost of being an actor. It’s not worth it.”
On being anonymous in public: “I can just hang out in bowling alleys with loads of kids…I don’t think people expect to see Cinderella in jeans bowling at midday or in a pub having a pint.”
On what happened the first time she met Meryl Streep (she’s playing the younger version of Meryl’s character in Mamma Mia): “She was singing this song, and it’s a beautiful song, and it made me cry…. I just hugged her and said hi. She’s such a cool woman.”
FYI: Lily is wearing an Antonio Marras dress on the cover.
