On the “Late Show” Emily Blunt said she saved Meryl Streep from an awful fall on the set of their new movie, “Into the Woods.” And Blunt says Streep owes her for it.
During rehearsals, Streep was supposed to jump on a table with a cape. But her foot got tangled up and she started falling to the concrete floor. (Video via Walt Disney Studios / 'Into the Woods')
“Rob Marshall and James Corden froze, didn’t move, and the pregnant woman caught her. ... So she owes me,” said Blunt on the "Late Show with David Letterman."
Wow. So, a pregnant Emily Blunt was the one to save Meryl Streep from her fall. Great job there, fellas.
And to dig the hole for himself even further, Corden, their co-star in the new flick, revealed his true colors about the crazy fall during a Q&A with his fellow castmates. (Video via BBC)
He’s quoted in Page Six saying, “Time slowed down and I thought, ‘I’m about to watch Meryl Streep die. It’s happening.’ I wish I could say I didn’t consider my own career in this and think, ‘This film’s gonna go down the [bleep].’
Well, at least Streep was able to a laugh it off and lived to see another day.
After all, Monday night President Obama awarded the 65-year-old actress with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Not too shabby. (Video via The Washington Post)
And you catch her alongside Blunt and Corden in their new film, “Into the Woods” when it hits theaters nationwide Christmas Day.
