Emily Blunt Recalls Meryl Streep Dancing to ‘Mamma Mia’ at Her Wedding to John Krasinski

Emily Blunt Recalls Meryl Streep Dancing to ‘Mamma Mia’ at Her Wedding to John Krasinski

It turns out Meryl Streep just can’t resist a little bit of “Mamma Mia.”

During an appearance on the Tuesday, May 26, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Emily Blunt recalled her Devil Wears Prada costar dancing to the hit ABBA song at her wedding to John Krasinski.

Streep, 76, of course, starred in the hit 2008 musical movie Mamma Mia!, inspired by ABBA’s discography.

Blunt shared that Streep was coaxed into dancing to the song by both her mom, Joanna, and Krasinski’s mom, Mary Clare, during a boat party on Lake Como in Italy, where Blunt, 43, and Krasinski, 46, tied the knot in 2010.

Mamma Mia! left a lasting impression in 2008 as the cast transported viewers to Greece while singing ABBA’s greatest hits — and one film just wasn’t enough. Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried captivated audiences as mother-daughter duo Donna and Sophie in the original movie. In hopes of getting answers about her father’s identity, Sophie contacts three of her mom’s former […]

“[The DJ] would sing the songs in half-Italian, half-English … he started playing ‘Mamma Mia,’ and my mom and John’s mom started dancing ominously towards Meryl,” the Oscar nominee revealed.

Blunt continued, “She indulged them. I asked her afterwards, ‘What did you feel when they came for you?’ and she said, ‘I wanted to hurl myself into the lake.’”

“[But] she did it! We have pictures of them all dancing together. It was amazing,” the actress added.

Blunt and Streep first worked together on The Devil Wears Prada, which was released in 2006, and recently reprised their roles in The Devil Wears Prada 2, reuniting with costars Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci.

A timeless beauty! Meryl Streep has been in the business for more than forty years and shows no signs of stopping, continuing to stun on the red carpet and earn 18 Oscar nominations for her acting abilities — see photos of the celebrated actress!

In April, Blunt admitted to being “scared” of Streep on the set of the original film because Streep stayed in character as acerbic fashion editor Miranda Priestly.

“I mean, on the first one, I was quite scared because I feel like you were in a zone,” she told her costar in a SiriusXM interview moderated by Andy Cohen.

“Oh, yeah. I was in that zone,” Streep admitted.

“Not impenetrable, but we could come up and tell you a funny story, but you wouldn’t do your extraordinary laugh that I normally heard,” Blunt said.

As well as The Devil Wears Prada franchise, Streep starred in Mamma Mia! and 2018 sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again as Donna Sheridan opposite Amanda Seyfried, though her character died in the latter movie.

Over the years, the three-time Oscar winner has weighed in on a potential third film.

“If there’s an idea that excites me, I’m totally there,” Streep told Vogue in 2023. “I’m up for anything … I told [producer] Judy [Craymer] if she could figure out a way to reincarnate Donna, I’m into that. Or it could be like in one of those soap operas where Donna comes back and reveals it was really her twin sister that died.”

Streep quipped, “We may have to call it Grand-Mamma Mia! by the time we make it!”

In 2024, Streep told Deadline that she wasn’t sure how the franchise’s producers would address her character’s death but noted, “They have an idea. I haven’t heard it yet but … I’m going to hear about it pretty soon. Of course I want to do it. I think folks love it.”

Where 8K TVs Flopped, Samsung Hopes 6K Monitors Will Push Screens Forward<div> <p>While 8K resolutions on TVs <a href="https://gizmodo.com/sorry-8k-tvs-have-flopped-2000716663">didn’t change the game</a> for big screens, Samsung still imagines a future where 4K is seen as old hat. We now have to consider the latest Odyssey G8 gaming monitor with support for 6K resolutions, promising sharper detail and crisper visuals in the paltry few games that support such high pixel counts.</p> <p>The new <a href="https://shop.gizmodo.com/go/8549/">Samsung Odyssey G80HS</a> is a 32-inch IPS LCD monitor that pushes the fabled 6K (6,144 x 3,456) resolution at 165Hz. With a flip of a switch, the monitor can drop its pixel count down to 3K (3,072 x 1,728) and 330Hz if you’re hoping for faster gaming scenarios. Higher resolutions will necessitate higher pixel counts, and the new G8 can max out at 224 PPI (pixels per inch). Visual clarity is less about resolution and more about maximizing the pixels on screen, which is where 6K resolution may make more sense for a 32-inch monitor.</p> <p class="text-center not-prose"><a class="comp-button" href="https://shop.gizmodo.com/go/8548/" target="_self" rel="sponsored nofollow">See Odyssey G8 (G80HS) at Amazon</a></p> <p class="text-center not-prose"><a class="comp-button" href="https://shop.gizmodo.com/go/8549/" target="_self" rel="sponsored nofollow">See Odyssey G8 (G80HS) at Samsung.com</a></p> <figure id="attachment_2000763657" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2000763657" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2000763657" src="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HS-Monitor-6K-1.jpeg" alt="Samsung Odyssey G80hs Monitor 6k 1" width="1920" height="1280" srcset="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HS-Monitor-6K-1.jpeg 1920w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HS-Monitor-6K-1-336x224.jpeg 336w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HS-Monitor-6K-1-1280x853.jpeg 1280w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HS-Monitor-6K-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HS-Monitor-6K-1-672x448.jpeg 672w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HS-Monitor-6K-1-960x640.jpeg 960w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HS-Monitor-6K-1-1600x1067.jpeg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 639px) 100vw, (max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 1258px) calc((100vw - 3.68rem) * 2 / 3), 800px"/><figcaption id="caption-attachment-2000763657" class="wp-caption-text">© Samsung</figcaption></figure> <p>Samsung’s Odyssey monitors are gaming-focused first and foremost, so you may be wondering what’s the point of a $1,600 non-OLED monitor like the G80HS. Samsung does promise a relatively wide viewing angle for LCDs at 178 degrees without losing visual quality. It also meets a 1ms pixel-to-pixel response time, meaning the monitor can change images relatively quickly. But, in reality, it’s to see content at an even higher pixel density.</p> <p>For comparison, 6K is nearly 2.5 times the number of pixels as 4K, often referred to as UHD. The problem with 8K TVs was less the technology and more the dearth of content that could support that scale of resolution. Some titles, like <em>Cyberpunk 2077</em> and <em>Ghost of Tsushima</em>, should manage to hit 6K resolution. Samsung’s latest monitors still support its own HDR10+ standard but not Dolby Vision for high dynamic range content.</p> <p>The Odyssey G80HS promises to hit a typical brightness of 350 nits and a peak luminance of 400 nits. It doesn’t exactly seem very bright for an IPS monitor that demands such a premium price.</p> <p>If you were looking for something more standard, the $1,300 Odyssey G80SH (don’t get confused now) is the 32-inch 4K OLED variant that promises 300 nits typical and 1,000 nits with HDR.</p> <p>Samsung is also pushing another <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=od*Q8WWyV14&mid=47773&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.samsung.com%2Fus%2Fmonitors%2Fgaming%2F27-inch-odyssey-g8-g80hf-5k-gaming-monitor-sku-ls27hg802efxza%2F%3Fr%3Dtrue%26referrer%3Dusnewsroom">G80HF</a> (okay, seriously…) 27-inch monitor that tops out at 5K resolution and has an IPS display, though this one only costs $950.</p> <figure id="attachment_2000763660" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2000763660" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2000763660" src="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HF-27-Inch-5K-monitor.jpg" alt="Samsung Odyssey G80hf 27 Inch 5k Monitor" width="1200" height="800" srcset="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HF-27-Inch-5K-monitor.jpg 1200w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HF-27-Inch-5K-monitor-336x224.jpg 336w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HF-27-Inch-5K-monitor-768x512.jpg 768w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HF-27-Inch-5K-monitor-672x448.jpg 672w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Odyssey-G80HF-27-Inch-5K-monitor-960x640.jpg 960w" sizes="(max-width: 639px) 100vw, (max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 1258px) calc((100vw - 3.68rem) * 2 / 3), 800px"/><figcaption id="caption-attachment-2000763660" class="wp-caption-text">The Samsung Odyssey G80HF is the 27-inch variant that hits 5K resolutions, or you can drop it down to 1440p for 330Hz gaming. © Samsung</figcaption></figure> <p>Whether you can hit playable frame rates at that top resolution and still push graphics settings or ray tracing to the max will depend on your PC’s capabilities. There are reasons why 5K or even 6K monitors exist. Those working in creative fields who need ultra-high-end, pixel-perfect screens like <a href="https://gizmodo.com/apple-studio-display-xdr-review-it-looks-so-good-i-wish-it-were-an-imac-2000733073">Apple’s Studio Display XDR</a> can make use of those higher resolutions, though mostly when editing video or 3D objects that require higher resolutions.</p> <p>Compared to 4K, 6K is relatively untested in gaming circles. At the very least, you’ll likely avoid a situation like what occurred with the <a href="https://gizmodo.com/5-years-later-ps5-has-destroyed-xbox-but-ps6-faces-bigger-threat-2000685720">PlayStation 5</a> that promised it was 8K-capable. Sony eventually <a href="https://gizmodo.com/sony-ps5-8k-sticker-1851523702">removed all mentions</a> of 8K from its console packaging when it became clear few games supported the resolution. Things may be different with 5K and 6K, though we can’t promise you’ll be able to tell the difference between UHD and the new hotness of high-resolution monitors.</p> <p class="text-center not-prose"><a class="comp-button" href="https://shop.gizmodo.com/go/8548/" target="_self" rel="sponsored nofollow">See Odyssey G8 (G80HS) at Amazon</a></p> <p class="text-center not-prose"><a class="comp-button" href="https://shop.gizmodo.com/go/8549/" target="_self" rel="sponsored nofollow">See Odyssey G8 (G80HS) at Samsung.com</a></p> </div>#TVs #Flopped #Samsung #Hopes #Monitors #Push #ScreensGaming,Monitors,Samsung
