Emily Blunt says Meryl Streep owes her after she "saved" her life.
The 31-year-old actress came to the rescue of the Mamma Mia star after she tripped and fell on the set of the big-screen adaptation of Into The Woods.
Emily explained: "I did save her life. We were rehearsinga scene where she's playing the witch and she's supposed to jump onto the table with a cape and everything.
"Meryl Streep's foot got caught in her cape and we just started to watch her slowly topple head-first toward the concrete floor."
The 65-year-old actress - who is starring as The Witch in the fairy tale story alongside Emily, who plays the Baker's Wife - will be expected to pay her co-star back for the rescue mission.
Emily joked on The Late Show With David Letterman: "She owes me! She should play my lowly dressmaker. She owes me big time. She was tormenting me in [The Devil Wears Prada], and now she's tormenting me in this movie. She's this witch that has cast this horrible spell on our house. I just said, 'This is it'. We couldn't have any other dynamic now: 'You just have to hate me in films.'"
"She owes me, that's why I think at some point I should play the Queen of Versailles and she can be my lowly dressmaker. I did mention it to her. I think it's a great idea and I mentioned it to her, and her response was, 'Dream on.' That's Meryl Streep... She's so amazing, it's annoying at this point. It's annoying."
