No matter how busy life gets, family has a way of pulling you right back to what matters. Even for someone as iconic and beloved as Meryl Streep, this feeling is sincerely relatable. Amid her packed shooting schedules, long flights, and demanding career, she works hard to carve out priceless moments with her loved ones. Streep recently opened up about being an overinvolved grandmother to 6 under-6s during an interview with Vogue.
Meryl Streep spills what’s it like to be grandmother of 6 under 6
Meryl Streep recently had a rather interesting conversation with Anna Wintour and the celebrated filmmaker, Greta Gerwig, for Vogue. She ended up discussing many aspects of her life, as well as her experience returning to her role as Miranda in “The Devil Wears Prada 2.”
However, the most emotional part of the interview was when she opened up about being an ‘over-involved’ grandmother, and just how much her children and grandchildren matter to her.
During the interview, Gerwig expressed how excited she was to ask Streep about being an over-involved grandmother, as it is a very rarely asked question. While discussing this, she asked her how she can balance being a grandmother while, of course, working as a hyper-successful actor.
To this, Streep replied, “It’s just grabbing seconds, just grabbing everything you can of them, with the knowledge of how completely fleeting it all is and how rapidly time goes. This is what my mother said to me, and I said, ‘Yeah, yeah’.”
She further elaborated, “It’s the longest, shortest time. And you can’t get anything back. So take as much as you can…. I find it divine. I have six grandchildren, six under six. They’re six, five, four, three, two, and one. I hope we’re not done, but we’ll see.” The star of “The Iron Lady” went on to admire how her kids give her time “as much time as they do with their kids.” However, she also pointed out that, “The only thing is that they’re on two coasts, so I’m in the airplane a lot!”
