Who'd have thunk it, but it turns out that Meryl Streep is big fan of guilty pleasure TV, in particular British reality shows like Come Dine With Me and Homes Under the Hammer.
She let slip her obsession with catching daytime shows when she is in the UK during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show to promote her new film Florence Foster Jenkins about an aspiring Opera singer who was ridiculed for her poor singing ability.
"I'm addicted to everything where they do real estate. I love Grand Designs and Homes Under the Hammer.
"Also Come Dine With Me is fabulous."
Despite decades of famous roles, Streep revealed that "the sky came down on me" in terms of being recognised only after two of her more recent movies, The Devil Wears Prada and Mamma Mia.
"I used to be able to float about between characters and somehow things changed. Everything was much bigger and I became a celebrity rather than an actress - there's a difference. Everyone is really kind but it just gives you hyper self-awareness, which is not the greatest thing", she said.
Her film co-star Hugh Grant also appears on the sofa and said that it was a combination of Meryl and a "classy" script had lured him back into acting.
Grant initially told director Stephen Frears that "showbiz is in my past" but later was forced to change his mind.
"He sent me the script and it was classy and I don't do classy films. This was Meryl Streep and a rather good part."
He also admitted that "I've never felt such fear" by working with the Oscar winning actress. "I had a whole year to dread actually having to do emotional scenes with Meryl Streep. So I did enormous amounts of preparation, which was all probably utterly useless", he said.
The Graham Norton Show is on BBC One at 10.35pm.
