Meryl Streep says young actors "get nervous" around her.

The 'Devil Wears Prada' star admitted that many of her younger movie co-stars are intimidated by her reputation as one of Hollywood's top actresses.

She told Psychologies magazine: "Young actors get nervous about working with me but then I'll forget my lines, which I do all the time, and they'll go 'Oh!'

"I've been nominated for an Oscar 15 times and won twice, but it still feels like it's happening to someone else. I wish I could feel it more.

"It's lovely when people say nice things about me - but these things enter the room like a big gorilla before I arrive on set, and I have to escort him out and introduce myself."

The 59-year-old star - who is the most nominated actor or actress in Academy Awards history - lost out on this year's Best Actress gong for her performance in 'Doubt' to 'The Reader' actress Kate Winslet.
