Amy Adams reveals how Meryl Streep calmed her down on the sets of their 2008 film 'Doubt'

Hollywood actor Amy Adams, who is currently seen in Netflix's The Woman in the Window, recently appeared in Kelly Clarkson's daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show to talk about her movie. In the show, when asked about her experience while working with her Doubt co-star Meryl Streep, Amy revealed that Meryl shared her hobby to help her focus while bonding with their movie characters.

Amy Adams calls Meryl Streep very crafty

Amy told Kelly that the Academy Award winner taught her how to knit. The actor stated that while filming for their 2008 drama Doubt in which both Amy and Meryl played the role of nuns, Streep shared her hobby of knitting with Amy in order to calm her down on set. Calling Meryl a big knitter and very crafty, Amy said  "She did it in two parts - to sort of creating a bonding experience between our characters, and also probably she felt sorry for me because I tend to be a bit energetic. So I'm sure she thought it was a great way for me to direct my energy instead of just skipping around in my (nun's) habit."

Sharing that knitting is not the only thing that she had learnt from The Devil Wears Prada star, Amy further added that Meryl Streep taught her many things and she still carries a little Meryl in her heart. She also mentioned that even though she has worked with her in two movies now she still feels completely enamoured by the iconic cine star. Whenever Amy feels like she is stuck with a tough decision she asks herself, "What will Meryl do in this situation?"
