As an ardent admirer, let me share a heartwarming story that Ayo Edebiri recently recounted. She described the moment her father encountered Meryl Streep in person for the first time. You see, this actress from Bear took her dad to the Emmys, and when he laid eyes on what appeared to be one of his beloved actresses, well, let’s just say he was taken aback!

During a recent conversation in an interview, Ayo Edebiri shared that she met Meryl Streep and immediately felt starstruck because her father was standing behind Streep’s head.

According to Edebiri, he kept saying something like, “Honey, honey, honey. Honey, could you, could you…”, repeatedly. However, he stuttered for a while without getting a chance to finish his request because the Dont Look Up actress moved quickly past him.

During the interview, Edebiri shared an interesting incident where she recounted asking her reserved and eloquent father if he would like to take a photo with Meryl Streep. She also confessed that she wasn’t certain if she herself could have approached the legendary actress. Furthermore, Edebiri explained that when confronted by celebrities, her father transforms into a completely different person, becoming noticeably starstruck and less verbose than usual.

In addition, Ayo Edeiri shared that her father’s preference for various movie genres significantly influenced her interest in arts and entertainment. Specifically, she noted that her father enjoys watching Westerns, Bollywood films, and classic Hollywood musicals.

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I’ve had the privilege of watching Ayo Edebiri shine in her latest masterpiece, the nail-biting Opus! This film boasts an incredible ensemble cast including none other than John Malkovich, Murray Bartlett, Rosario Dawson, and Tatanka Means. It was an absolute joy to witness such a talented group of actors in action together!
