Meryl Streep Can't Watch Her Old Movies

Meryl Streep has revealed that she struggles to watch her old movies, because they remind her of when she was "so unhappy" with her body image.

The Hollywood Icon told Stephen Colbert at the annual Montclair Film fundraiser: I'll come upon a movie I'm in, and I'm very young and very beautiful. But I was so unhappy. I thought my nose was too big, I thought I was fat. Because these are things that people tell you."

The actress admitted that throughout her career she has often portrayed roles that took away her beauty, so audiences had to focus on her talent.

She explained: "I could play older when I was young. I could play a man in 'Angels in America'. I could screw around with how I looked, which to me is a political act: to say 'it's not always going to attract your lust or your interest, or anything to do with ingratiation'."

Despite her body hang-ups, supermodel Cindy Crawford recently revealed she used to look up to Meryl as a "beautiful woman" when she was dreaming of her modelling career.
