Tom Hanks threw a few jabs at his The Post costar, Meryl Streep, while being interviewed by Stephen Colbert.

After asking the actor what it was like working with Meryl, Tom replied:  “You mean, can I just say, ‘high maintenance Meryl Streep?’”

“You know what’s scary about Meryl? She comes in and does it just like everybody else does,” he explained. “You’re expecting French horns before she enters the stage.”

“You expect a guy in livery to come out: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, the actress known as Meryl Streep.’ And she comes in and waves to the crew the way the royals used to.”

He added: “She was mad at me because I didn’t tell her Steven doesn’t rehearse. He just wants to figure it out as he goes along. He’s almost like a guerrilla filmmaker. He has the set, he has the space and he wants to fill it with something he hasn’t imagined before. I don’t mean to [say] that he’s not prepared — he’s the most prepared man in the world.”
