It’s not just you who is dazzled by Meryl Streep, Carey Mulligan explained on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night. On the set of Suffragette, in which Streep co-stars as Emmeline Pankhurst, Mulligan revealed that everyone—even the film’s least likely production members—were thrilled to be graced by the Oscar winner’s presence.

Colbert asked whether having Streep around changed the tone and was intimidating.

“Oh, all of those things,” Mulligan said. “Everyone’s very excited all day, all of the crew, all of the quite scary crew members who are sort of big, tough guys. They are all very suddenly quite buzzy and excited.”

Thankfully, Mulligan and her cast mates came up with a game that eased the atmosphere on set.

“We shot in the East End of London in a place called Shoreditch, which I think is like Williamsburg,” Mulligan explained to Colbert. “It’s very hip. There are a lot of trendy, trendy people that you’re a little bit scared of, and they all wear kind of antique, vintage-y clothing . . . very cool. They used to wander on our set all of the time so we used to have a game called ‘Hipster or Extra?’”

Colbert ended the interview by asking the British actress whether she or Streep has a more accurate English accent, to which Mulligan answered in the only acceptable way: “Definitely her.”

In addition to the Suffragette release—on October 23 in the U.S.—Mulligan is also celebrating the recent birth of her daughter, Evelyn, with musician Marcus Mumford.
