“And we were doing a photoshoot and I said something like G.O.A.T. and Meryl kind of said, ‘That’s right. Just tell the old goat where to go.'” Lawrence said. “I was like, ‘Meryl, you know that G.O.A.T. means greatest of all time, right?’ And she was like, ‘Oh, no!'”
According to Hill, Streep, who plays his mother in the film, is “cool” and the “best actor.”
Hill said that while doing press for the movie, he used the complimentary acronym to refer to her, which caused Streep to comment during a press conference ‘You know, Jonah is so comfortable with me, he’s been calling me a goat all week.’
Hill said Lawrence explained what it meant to Streep, who, he said, is “so cool she wasn’t even offended by it!”
“Don’t Look Up” debuts in select theaters Friday and on Netflix on December 24.
