And she went, ‘What?'”
Cox recalled to Blunt.
“I said, ‘I never liked you because I was jealous.’
How can anybody be that good?”
Both of their characters fell under the shadow of Streep’s domineering fashion magazine editor Miranda.
“I loved it,” Cox said of the film.
“And to work with one of the greatest screen actresses of all time, I so envy you.
One of my ambitions, before I snuff it, is to work with Meryl.”
“Oh, don’t say ‘snuff it’!”
She’s amazing and was slightly terrifying on that film.
She said it was one of the first times she’s tried Method acting.
But it made her so miserable, playing Miranda."
Cox and Streep both appeared inSpike Jonze’s 2002 dramedyAdaptation, though they did not share screen time.
They also voiced characters inWes Anderson’s 2009 stop-motion animated comedyFantastic Mr. Fox.
Elsewhere, Cox touched on Method acting.
“There’s this whole debate about Method acting and all that,” Cox said.
“I’m all for whatever gets you through the day.
But the great thing is how you transmit energy.
If you hit it right, it just works.
Not to dwell.”
“But knowing a character and what the character does is only part of the skill set.
He’s still that guy, because he feels if he went somewhere else he’d lose it.
But he won’t!
He’s f—ing gifted.
When you’ve got the gift, celebrate the gift.
Go back to your trailer and have a hit of marijuana, you know?”
