HOLLYWOOD, June 28 (UPI) -- Meryl Streep plays Miranda Priestly, editor of a U.S. fashion magazine in the film, "The Devil Wears Prada," but in real life, she is quite down to earth.
Both Streep and Anne Hathaway, 23, who plays Priestly's assistant in the comedy, are so tired of being dressed to the nines that "we made a pact to become fat communists" when the shooting ended, Hathaway said.
Streep said she doesn't care about fashions and trends, USA Today reported.
"I was so glad to take everything off at the end of the day and put my jeans on and my rattiest, rattiest things and just go home and veg," the Academy Award-winning actress said.
The editor is condescending to her young assistant, Andy, ending every invective with a sharp "that's all."
Though Streep claims not to be a method actress, she kept her distance between scenes, reading a book to keep Hathaway and Emily Blunt, who plays the senior assistant, slightly uncomfortable.
Streep based Miranda on "three people that I know who are, by the way, much, much worse-behaved. Not one of them female."
