Meryl Streep made a lighthearted revelation about her game nights with Hollywood friends during a recent appearance on the Today show, ahead of the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Speaking in an interview, she highlighted her long-standing friendship with co-star Stanley Tucci while recalling some memorable group game moments.
Robert De Niro singled out in charades story
Streep joked that one actor she would prefer not to have on her team during charades is Robert De Niro.
“I love Stanley… try not to get Robert De Niro on our team because he’s the worst,” she said, adding that he struggles with the game despite being a great actor.
“Very shy and not good at it”
Streep explained that De Niro’s style makes charades difficult, describing him as “very shy” and simply “not good at it.”
She even mimicked how he might act out clues, turning the moment into a comedic highlight during the interview.
Long history of collaboration
Despite the joke, Streep and De Niro have worked together several times over the decades, including in films such as The Deer Hunter, Falling in Love, and Marvin’s Room.
Their long professional history added context to the playful teasing shared during the interview.
Cast reunites for sequel
The interview also featured discussion about returning to the world of The Devil Wears Prada, where Streep reunites with Hathaway, Blunt, and Tucci.
The cast reflected on how much their lives and careers have changed since the original film was released nearly two decades ago.
New story continues iconic characters
The sequel brings back Streep as Miranda Priestly, alongside returning and new cast members, exploring how the fashion and media world has evolved.
The film is set against the backdrop of a changing publishing industry and shifting power dynamics in luxury media.
