Meryl Streep Would Be Perfect For Margaret Thatcher Role Says Jim Broadbent
According to British actor Jim Broadbent, Hollywood legend Meryl Streep would be perfect for the lead role in the upcoming Margaret Thatcher biopic that is due to go into production in January.
In an interview with New York Magazine, Broadbent revealed that he believes Streep would be perfect…
“I think years ago a film about Thatcher was attempted, and they had a phone-in vote on a BBC morning news programme – ‘Who do you think should play Margaret Thatcher?’ And Meryl actually came out on top! I think it’s perceived that Thatcher needs a star, really, and she’s perfect casting in many ways. She’s got a good look, and she’ll absolutely do it in a brilliant way. She’s also got an interesting eye on the script. She can bring an outsider’s view on the story, so that it won’t become a lazy, parochial piece that Brits understand but where nobody else really knows what’s going on. She can ask the questions that foreign audiences will ask.”
