Why Meryl Streep Had “Beef” With Death Becomes Her Costar Goldie Hawn

Now, a warning. Take care of Meryl Streep’s time.

Otherwise, you could annoy actress Meryl Streep. The 76-year-old recently revealed she was a little bothered by a frustrating habit of her Death Becomes Her co-star, Goldie Hawn.

Oh my god, Meryl was talking about Goldie Hawn in Vanity Fair! It was published on April 30th, and she was just gushing! Apparently, Goldie was always running late to filming, but Meryl said she was just so cute you couldn’t even be mad! Meryl’s all about being punctual – she even admitted she’s a bit of a perfectionist and probably annoying about it – but Goldie would just roll up in her red convertible, driving herself. Meryl thinks that was probably why she was late! It’s just… the image of Goldie in that car! I’m obsessed.

Despite some disagreements, Meryl Streep and Jane Fonda never had a real falling out, even though their characters in the film were rivals. As Meryl put it, “I had a problem with her, but I loved her.”

Even though the 80-year-old is often late, the two have been close friends ever since their movie came out in 1992. The Mamma Mia! actress explained, “We’re good friends, and we’ve often joked about how much people enjoy that film. I always felt like it was a realistic look at life in Beverly Hills.”

This darkly humorous film offers a shockingly funny look at Hollywood’s fascination with staying young. It follows Madeline and Helen as they go to extreme lengths – and suffer increasingly painful injuries – in their pursuit of eternal youth.

Meryl admitted that one scene involving a beheading was particularly challenging. She wasn’t sure exactly how the special effects were achieved, but emphasized it felt very different from performing dialogue written by a playwright like Arthur Miller.

I always loved seeing Goldie Hawn and Demi Moore together – their friendship is so genuine! But remembering those days on set also brings back such warm feelings about Bruce Willis. He played Ernest Menville, the guy both their characters were interested in, and he was just fantastic to watch. It’s lovely to recall those fun times with all of them.

She fondly remembered Bruce, describing him as a truly special person. While some people said he could be challenging to work with on set and had a bit of a reputation for being difficult, she always had a great time with him. She said he was a kind, playful, and enthusiastic performer, and she thought he was just wonderful.

Even though Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn have resolved their differences, let’s take a look at some other famous celebrity feuds…

In January 2024, Bobby addressed speculation about a disagreement with Tan, following his announcement in November 2023 that he was leaving Queer Eye after eight seasons. (Bobby is pictured second from left.)

He told Vanity Fair that he and Tan are doing okay despite a personal issue they’ve been dealing with. He emphasized that the situation is between the two of them and isn’t related to their work on the show, and clarified it wasn’t a romantic issue – just something personal that had been building up.

In March 2024, Tan addressed claims that he tried to get his friend Jeremiah Brent to replace Bobby on the show Queer Eye.

Netflix and the production team held extensive auditions. I didn’t recommend my friend for the role, but they ultimately landed it because they were the most qualified. I also want to clarify that I didn’t help them get the part by having anyone else removed from consideration, as he explained in an Instagram post.

During a September 2023 game of “Stir the Pot” with her daughter Kelly Osbourne on TopMob News, Sharon Osbourne revealed that she considered Danny Masterson, known from “That ’70s Show,” to be the rudest celebrity she’d ever encountered. She described him as a consistently rude and unpleasant person.

He did not respond to her remarks publicly.

Five years ago, Sharon shared with Larry King that Ashton seemed upset when he was on The Talk in 2014, after she mispronounced his name.

She remembered him asking, ‘Who are you and what have you accomplished in this field?’ She said she responded with a fierce warning, telling him, ‘Don’t underestimate me, because I will completely destroy you.’ She finished by saying, ‘You have no idea who you’re talking to.’

In August 2022, Cassadee Pope and Maren Morris clashed with Brittany Aldean, the wife of country singer Jason Aldean, after Brittany posted a video on Instagram. In the video, posted on August 23rd, Brittany thanked her parents for not allowing her to transition genders during a phase where she preferred traditionally masculine interests, stating she appreciated her current feminine lifestyle.

In a 2022 TikTok trend, JoJo Siwa called Candace Cameron Bure the “rudest” celebrity she’d met, explaining that Bure had once refused to pose for a photo with her at a red carpet event. Soon after, Cameron Bure apologized, saying she regretted hurting Siwa’s feelings when she was eleven and admitting, “I feel terrible about not taking a picture with you, JoJo, and I’m really sorry.”

Look, I’m all about second chances, and things were definitely smoothed over with a former colleague. But recently, I was asked about the kind of stories we’re telling at Great American Family, where I’m leading the creative side. I was honest: we’re focusing on stories that celebrate traditional marriage, and that’s what you’ll continue to see in our holiday movies. It’s really about staying true to our brand and the audience we serve.

JoJo, who publicly shared they are part of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021, responded to the actress’ comment on Instagram, calling it “rude and hurtful to the entire LGBTQ+ community.”

In June 2021, Courtney Love claimed Olivia Rodrigo had copied the album cover art for her band Hole in a promotional photo without proper credit. Olivia responded with a simple, “Love u and live through this sooooo much.” Courtney then playfully replied, “Olivia – you’re welcome! My favorite florist is in Notting Hill, London! DM me for details! I look forward to reading your note [winking face emoji].”

While on Watch What Happens Live, the Happy Days actor explained the reason for his difficult relationship with the Forrest Gump star while filming their 1989 movie, Turner & Hooch.

I directed the film for thirteen days, and then Jeff Katzenberg, the producer, told me to go home – that I had everything I needed, he said.

Winkler and Hanks’ dog seemed to get along very well. “I really loved that dog,” Winkler said.

He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick. 

“You know what you did!”

Those who watched The Hills likely recall Lauren’s famous line from the start of season three. The drama between them began when Heidi started dating Spencer Pratt, and it escalated when Lauren claimed Heidi and Spencer spread a false rumor about her and her then-boyfriend, Jason Wahler, alleging they had made a sex tape.

Tyrese and Dwayne Johnson had a public falling out that started again in 2017. Tyrese criticized Dwayne on Instagram after the release of Fast & Furious 9 was delayed until April 2020. On the same day, a spin-off movie featuring Dwayne and Jason Statham, set in the Fast & Furious universe, was announced for 2019. Shortly after, Tyrese said he would leave Fast 9 if Dwayne was still involved.

Tyrese recently discussed the conflict with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, telling Van Lathan on The Red Pill podcast that he still hasn’t spoken to Johnson directly, though they plan to. He mentioned he did talk to one of Johnson’s producing partners, but not to Johnson himself.

Tyrese admitted he shouldn’t have publicly shared frustrations he’d heard from others involved with the franchise. He explained he was the one who spoke out, and he takes responsibility for that, saying it wasn’t a professional or appropriate thing to do.

No more bad blood here.

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry had a long-running public disagreement, rumored to have even sparked Taylor’s song “Bad Blood.” The conflict, which began with issues over a dancer and competition during their tours, was resolved when Katy sent Taylor an olive branch – a symbol of peace – before Taylor’s Reputation Tour began.

Taylor shared on Instagram that she found a real olive branch in her dressing room, saying it meant a lot to her.

Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”

For years, Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker, stars of Sex and the City, successfully dismissed rumors of a feud. However, those rumors resurfaced when Kim chose not to participate in a third movie and made some pointed remarks about her co-star.

In September 2017, during an episode of Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked Sarah Jessica Parker how she felt about Kim Cattrall telling Piers Morgan they had only ever been coworkers, not friends.

She said she was just devastated. They had talked about it all week, and she was really bothered because her memory of what happened was completely different.

It’s upsetting, but I believe what truly connects us is the shared experience we all had. It started as a job, but over the years, it became something deeply personal. I’m hoping that those years of working on something special, and the connections we all made, will ultimately be more important than any recent disagreements. It was a real privilege to be a part of something so meaningful with so many people.

And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.

Elton John and Madonna have been publicly disagreeing since 2004. The conflict began when Elton, while accepting an award at the Q Awards, criticized Madonna’s live performances. He famously told the audience, “Madonna, best live act? That’s ridiculous!” He then questioned her use of lip-syncing, suggesting anyone who lip-syncs during a paid concert shouldn’t be allowed to perform.

The actress, formerly known for her role on Grey’s Anatomy, caused a disagreement with the show’s creator back in 2008 when she asked to no longer be considered for an Emmy Award. She explained that she didn’t think the storylines she was given were strong enough to justify a nomination.

Shonda Rhimes discussed Katherine Heigl’s departure in a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s Next Chapter. She admitted it was both hurtful and expected. “I’ve learned to pay attention to people’s actions,” Rhimes explained. “If someone consistently behaves a certain way, you should believe that’s who they are. It’s a lesson that’s really helped me.”

The fight between Nicki and Cardi at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party during New York Fashion Week made headlines everywhere. A month later, Cardi publicly explained what started the argument with Nicki.

Cardi B recently told W magazine that another person has been repeatedly criticizing her. They had talked twice before and seemed to resolve things, but the criticism continued.

Okay, so here’s what really kicked things off, as far as I can tell. Cardi apparently noticed Nicki had briefly ‘liked’ a tweet that was critical of her parenting – and then quickly ‘unliked’ it. Nicki says she didn’t actually engage with the tweet at all, but that’s what sparked the whole conflict, from Cardi’s perspective.

Cardi B explained she turned down a potentially very profitable Bruno Mars tour because she wanted to be with her daughter. She emphasized how much she loves her daughter and considers herself a dedicated mother. She also responded to criticism about where she met another artist, saying opportunities like that don’t come around often, and she wasn’t going to wait for another casual encounter.

The conflict between Kanye West and Taylor Swift began in 2009 when he interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. They later reconciled and became friends, but their relationship fell apart in 2016 after Kanye released his song “Famous,” which included a reference to Taylor.

As a longtime fan of both artists, I remember being totally stunned back in February 2025! The day before the Grammys, Kanye suddenly only followed Taylor on Instagram. He didn’t say a word about it, and Taylor didn’t publicly acknowledge it either – it was such a strange and fascinating moment!

“I don’t know her.”

The rumored rivalry between Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez began with a 2003 television interview in Germany. When asked about Jennifer Lopez, Mariah famously responded, “I don’t know her.”
