US actress Meryl Streep said she had difficulties on the first day of shooting of her new film after a lonely quarantine phase.
"I was so bad," said the 71-year-old in an interview with talk show host Stephen Colbert.
"I couldn't remember anything."
Before shooting the sci-fi comedy "Don't Look Up", in which Streep plays the US President, she was in quarantine - "totally alone," as she explained.
"And my first scene, as president, was walking into a stadium full of 20,000 people, my face on the big screen in front of me, and I was totally nuts," she said with a laugh.
In reality, of course, her audience consisted only of individually distributed people with masks and visors that would later be duplicated when editing, she explained.
In addition to Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet will appear in the new Netflix comedy by director Adam McKay.
