Streep Compares Herself to Will Smith
Posted by
Meryl Streep has compared herself to Will Smith.
The actress says her hit 2008 movie Mamma Mia! – which has taken in an estimated $573 million at the box office – is reminiscent of the star’s achievements with Men in Black and I Am Legend.
“I’m like Will Smith now! Mamma Mia!… It changed everything,” Streep said. “Now the studio bosses say, ‘Let’s put this movie in the Mamma Mia! summer slot’, like that’s my slot, as if I were Will Smith or something.
“I’m pleased to say my family and my friends and other actors don’t see me any differently, but in Hollywood it’s just incredible how the perception of me has changed.”
