Cher and Meryl | Photos: Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and Mamma Mia!
Cher and Meryl Streep locked lips at the London premiere of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again last night.
The Oscar-winning actresses and long-time friends play mother and daughter in the new movie, inspired by the music of ABBA.
However, Cher’s on-screen daughter Donna is actually played by Cinderella actress Lily James in the new prequel.

Believe singer Cher has previously won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in Moonstruck in 1987.
Meanwhile, Meryl has taken home the statue three times: in 1980 for Kramer vs. Kramer, in 1983 for Sophie’s Choice and 2012 for The Iron Lady.
‘Meryl was behind a piece of scenery watching me do my number’
Cher attended the premiere after paying tribute to Meryl at the London press conference for the film on Saturday.
Admitting she was ‘terrified’ about joining the film, she furthermore added: ‘Everyone had been together. And also, my character wasn’t very liked! By anybody! So, I was really nervous.’
‘But everyone was so nice to me,’ she furthermore continued. ‘And Meryl was behind a piece of scenery watching me do my number, so that made me feel good after the fact, because I didn’t know it!’
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again hits US and UK cinema screens on 20 July.
