Amanda Seyfried talks about ‘super chill’ and ‘easy to work with’ Meryl Streep

Amanda Seyfried talks about working with Meryl Streep.

The actress, who starred with Streep in Mamma Mia 2008, says it is a delight to be with.

Discussing Streep, 77, Seyfried admitted at the Hamptons International Film Festival on Oct. 4: “She’s super chill and always honest in every performance. It’s just you could have a script written by the worst computer and she would make it make sense and feel authenti.”

“And so you can’t go wrong, unless you are intimidated — and then you can, you can totally just ruin the vibe.”

“But she was cool. She was so chill,” Seyfried said of Streep.

Speaking about the movie, Seyfried added: “They did also send me to Vegas and had me watch the show because I was in LA. So I, it really wasn’t that crazy, the hoops that I had to jump through. You know, right place, right time, right people.”
