Goldie Hawn is finally responding after Meryl Streep, 76, revealed the “beef” that brewed between the pair on the set of the 1992 film Death Becomes Her. While speaking to Vanity Fair, Streep complained that Hawn “was always late to set,” joking that everyone excused it because “everybody thought, ‘Oh she’s so cute.’” That habit, Streep laughed, sparked her “beef” with her co-star. Now Hawn, 80, is owning up to it. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on Thursday, the actress admitted she is chronically “15 minutes late to everything.” “I mean, honestly, it’s unbelievable,” she said. Still, Hawn insisted there was never really bad blood between them. “It is our joke,” she explained, adding: “She said I was too late on the set. Maybe she’s too early. I don’t know.” Streep also offered her own theory for the delays, recalling that Hawn used to drive herself to set in a red convertible. Despite the on-set frustrations, Streep said the pair eventually became close friends and described filming together as “silly and fabulous.”
