In a world where Hollywood stars shine brighter than the sun, it seems that even friendships can take a hit under the spotlight. Goldie Hawn, beloved actress and all-around icon, has reportedly been shaken by some public remarks made by her long-time co-star, Meryl Streep, regarding Hawn’s alleged tardiness on the set of their classic film “Death Becomes Her.” Now, let me ask you this: Does the cosmos have a hand in how we handle our friendships, or is it just Mercury in retrograde messing with our communication?

Sources suggest that Hawn didn’t just shrug it off—she felt the sting of Streep’s comments, especially considering how challenging it can be for seasoned actresses to snag those coveted roles. With the stars aligning for new opportunities, Hawn’s Hollywood journey seems to have taken an unexpected detour, fueled by an offhand remark that some might say was more ‘publicity stunt’ than ‘friendly banter.’ What does this cosmic flare-up mean for her career, especially at a time when every role counts? Let’s dive deep into this celestial saga of friendship, opportunity, and the quirks of the star-studded life.

Goldie Hawn was reportedly unhappy with Meryl Streep‘s comments about her tardiness on the set of “Death Becomes Her.”

Sources close to Hawn claim the remarks struck a nerve, with the actress feeling that her former co-star should not have addressed the issue publicly.

It was also suggested that Goldie Hawn is concerned that the comments could further impact her chances of landing major roles, particularly at this stage in her career.

Despite sharing a close friendship, Streep didn’t shy away from calling out Goldie Hawn recently over what she claimed was the actress’s past habit of being late to set and sometimes being difficult to work with.

While Hawn hasn’t given any public response to the comments, sources close to her have revealed that she heard everything and felt “stung” and unhappy that her so-called friend would make such remarks about her in public.

“The pain is not what Meryl said — it is that she said it in public,” a source told Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice Substack.”

According to the source, Streep could have stopped herself from making such comments during her chat with Vanity Fair, where she discussed the 1992 comedy-fantasy Death Becomes Her, in which they both starred.

“She did not have to say it. She chose to. And Goldie heard the message loud and clear,” added the insider.

Adding to the conversation, another source hinted that there was no upside to Streep making such a comment about Hawn.

They pointed out that Hawn has allegedly struggled to land top roles over the years, despite having both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe.

Now, the negative attention on her persona, caused by Streep, could make it even harder for her to secure such roles.

“Goldie has spent years trying to quietly find her way back into meaningful roles,” shared the insider about the actress, who had been in only a handful of movies since the last decade.

The insider added, “Hollywood already gives women her age fewer chances, fewer scripts, and far less grace. Being publicly branded unreliable by one of the most respected actresses in the business is the last thing she needed.”

Per the source, the situation hurts Hawn even more due to how Streep’s comments wouldn’t affect her own chances of getting roles.

“Meryl loses nothing by saying it,” the source shared. “She still gets the scripts. She still gets the calls. Goldie is the one who pays for it.”

Streep’s interview was published on April 30 and included a recollection of her time with Hawn on the set of Death Becomes Her.

In addition to noting that Hawn was often late to set, she reflected on how her tardiness sometimes frustrated her, as she herself was always punctual.

“She had a red convertible, I remember. And she’d drive herself to set, so that was probably the problem,” Streep further recalled, per E! News.

Streep’s remarks about Hawn weren’t entirely critical, as she also described her former co-star as “adorable” and said she “loved her.”

Streep further shared that over the years they had become even closer, adding that any differences they experienced on set had long since been put behind them.

“She’s one of my buddies, and over the years, we’ve had some laughs about that movie because people love it,” the Oscar winner said.

“I thought it was like a documentary on Beverly Hills,” she noted about the cult classic.

Elsewhere in the interview, Streep opened up about starring alongside Bruce Willis in the film.

The actor, who is currently living with frontotemporal dementia, played the love interest Ernest Menville, over whom Streep and Hawn’s characters battle.

Unlike her comments about Hawn, Streep had nothing negative to say about working with Willis, despite the actor having a reputation at the time for being difficult on some film sets.

“Bruce was divine,” she said of the Hollywood veteran who quit acting after his diagnosis. “I guess he was a bad boy on certain sets and came with a little reputation for being difficult, but we had so much fun with him. He was such a gent, and so game, and willing to be ridiculous. I just thought he was wonderful.”
