Cher "thrilled to death" about playing Meryl Streep's mother in 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again'
All's good in the "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" hood again as Cher has dropped some severe truth bombs regarding her playing the role of Meryl Streep's mother in the much awaited for sequel to the original musical, "Mamma Mia!" In an interesting turn of events, however, Cher - who had previously spoken about how she had "no choice" in being cast in the role of Streep's mother, has now revealed that she is happy to have played the role, despite her being just a couple of years older than Streep in real life. The 72-year-old music sensation - who plays the role of Amanda Seyfried's grandmother in the sequel - shared that the age differed hardly bothered her.
“That doesn’t make any difference,” said Cher on People magazine's exclusive Facebook live talk with the cast, which was moderated by People deputy editor Dan Wakeford. Speaking further about what it was like to play the mother of the 69-year-old Streep, she added: “I was thrilled to death, and it was so silly. It was great fun, and I love her [Meryl], so it was perfect.”
