Cher and Meryl Streep: A Match Made in Movie Magic
Speaking of movie magic, Cher plays Meryl Streep’s mom in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. And yes, you read that right—even though they’re only three years apart in real life. But does that age gap matter? Not one bit, according to Cher. “That doesn’t make any difference,” she told People. “I was thrilled to death, and it was so silly. It was great fun, and I love her, so it was perfect.”
Meryl even got a front-row seat to Cher’s incredible performance in the film. “It was great, and she was hiding watching me sing, and I was so excited. I didn’t find out until afterwards—I would have been more nervous,” Cher admitted. Imagine singing with Meryl Streep lurking in the shadows!
