Meryl Streep, a renowned actress, has expressed her strong dislike for working with Julia Roberts in the future.
The reason behind this animosity stems from Julia's actions during the filming of their latest blockbuster movie.
According to insider sources in Hollywood, Julia Roberts took advantage of her position and altered the ending of the film, disregarding Meryl's input.
This decision led to the removal of Meryl's scene from the movie's final cut.
The source revealed, “Julia has an insatiable desire to be in the spotlight.
When given the opportunity, she pushed Meryl aside to secure more screen time for herself, a glorified close-up shot solely featuring her, and an entirely new ending for the film.”
Meryl, feeling disgusted by these actions, decided to boycott the premiere of the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The premiere was an important event for the film's promotion, but Meryl's discontent with Julia's behavior outweighed her commitment to attend.
In the upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway hit “August: Osage County,” Meryl, aged 64, portrays Julia's mother.
The star-studded cast also includes Juliette Lewis, Ewan McGregor, and Dermot Mulroney.
The movie delves into the lives of three generations of a dysfunctional family from Oklahoma and has already generated significant buzz surrounding potential Academy Award nominations for both Meryl and Julia.
Despite reports suggesting that Meryl and Julia had an amicable relationship on set, the original ending depicted Meryl's character in a scene following her abandonment by her daughter.
However, this ending did not resonate well with test audiences.
It was at this point that Julia intervened.
She approached director John Wells and expressed her concerns, stating, “I love her to death, but seeing her so sad on screen brings down the mood.
Perhaps the final shot could focus solely on me.”
Although the movie's ending may still undergo further changes, it appears that Julia successfully influenced the decision.
As of now, the final scene features a shot of the 45-year-old
