Meryl Streep said she wants to “correct” her pal Clint Eastwood after he said he’d support Donald Trump in the election.

In an interview with Variety, the 67-year-old actress said she was surprised to hear Eastwood had said of the two candidates running for president that he would be supporting Trump over Hillary Clinton and that she planned on fixing that decision. (RELATED: Meryl Streep Dresses Up As Donald Trump In Stage Show [VIDEO])

“I didn’t know that,” Streep said. “I’ll have to speak to him. I’ll have to correct that!” (RELATED: Meryl Streep Is Headed To Africa With Michelle Obama)

“I’m shocked,” she added. “I really am. Because he’s more–I would have thought he would be more sensitive than that.”

Streep also talked about the emotions running high this election among all the candidates supporters, and especially Trump’s.

“When you get a lot of people in a group, it can go good or it can go bad in a way that [overrides] each individual person,” she said. “The aggregate of everybody’s emotion, it’s such a powerful thing. You can see it in the Trump rallies, where people I just know, in their living rooms, would be better people, are driven to the worst possibilities by the bloodlust in a crowd.”

“It just gets ginned up and they’re outside of themselves,” she added. “They’re behaving as a larger unit, not just themselves.”
