The nerves, it seems, didn’t stop on set — but followed Davis straight to the restroom.
Bathroom etiquette went down the drain the day Viola Davis found herself face-to-face with Meryl Streep.
The two powerhouse actors first worked together on the 2008 thriller “Doubt,” and during their time on set, Davis recalled being “absolutely overwhelmed” to be acting alongside Streep. The nerves, it seems, didn’t stop on set — but followed Davis straight to the restroom.
Appearing on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” on Thursday, Davis recounted a rather unfiltered moment that still makes her cringe.
“She went to the bathroom during rehearsal and I followed her,” Davis confessed. “I waited for her to come out the stall and I went into the same stall as her, just to smell her.”
Actor Anthony Anderson, seated alongside Davis, responding with a resounding “wow,” which was a warranted reaction to this tale.
