But first that breaking news, delta flights grounded worldwide overnight. Some frustrated travelers sharing these photos of some long lines right now, and delta now saying the delays are due to Abcs David Kerley is at Reagan National airport with the latest. Good morning, david. Lot of trouble all over the world right now. Reporter good morning, george. When this is over, tens of thousands passengers likely affected. Earlier this morning, the lines were long. Delta is telling us it was a power outage that caused the computer outage overnight and it grounded every jet that was going to take off around the globe. A passenger in sacramento of an audio file of the pie flot explaining what was going on with their flight. Back in our Operations Control Center in atlanta, a huge room, the center of the whole operation, their computers are down and if youve been trying to call and get rebooked or call the diamond desk or anything, it looks like everybody is in the same boat. Reporter delta says in a statement a computer outage has impacted flights and is advising travelers to check the status of their flights this morning while the issue is being addressed. Delta now joins the other major computer shutdowns. A year ago united had nearly 5,000 flights affected. And just last month southwest had 2300 flights cancelled because of a computer outage. Delta saying it was a power problem overnight. Computers are coming up. Were seeing planes coming and going, george. Yeah, and, david, i think most of us assume theres some kind of failsafe mechanism in place but this is affecting every flight all over the world. How reporter yeah, delta is not being specific exactly what happened with their Computer System but all this information is critical to pilots. They need to know weather data, how many people theyre carrying, dispatchers have to know weights. All these things are reliant on computers. A system goes down, youre not flying. Ripple effects everywhere. David kerley, thanks very much. All right, george, were going to turn now to that tlragc park. A 10yearold boy killed in kansas on what is deemed the tallest water slide in the world. The park closed this morning as investigators try to determine what went wrong. Abcs alex perez is in kansas city with the latest. Good morning to you, alex. Reporter good morning, lara. It was a Beautiful Day here at the park. Packed with families when something went terribly wrong. This morning, authorities investigating what went tragically wrong at this popular kansas city water park. The mother was screaming, hes not moving. Thats my boy. Reporter abc news learning the 10yearold son of kansas schwab died while riding whats known as the tallest water slide in the world here at the schlitterbahn water park. Schwab telling abc news overnight since the day caleb was born he brought abundant joy to our family. We are comforted knowing he believed in our savior jesus and they are forever together now. We will see him another day. It still brought tears to my eyes that someone else lost lost their child thats my childs age that im sure they felt was safe. Reporter this morning while are remaining tightlipped not releasing any details of what happened sunday at the kansas park. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Reporter this is what the ride called verruckt, german for insane, looks like from the top standing at 168 feet high its taller than the statue of liberty and plummets its thrill seekers a jawdropping 17 stories in just seconds. Tubers hitting speeds of nearly 70 miles per hour. Asking the question are you insane . Reporter the slide requires a minimum height of 54 inches and two to three riders have to be in a raft with a total weight of at least 400 pounds. When the ride opened two years ago, sliders had to be at least 14 years of age. That has since changed but before the ride even opened many raised questions about its safety. Especially after watching these early safety tests showing sandbag dummies flying off the the rides opening delayed at least three times while the park reworked it, adding seat belts and safety netting. Quite possibly this incident is not going to be a result of a mechanical issue, more possibly a result of an human error. Reporter and the park will be closed today as a team of investigators works to figure out what exactly what went wrong here. George. Thanks, alex. Were joined now by the president and the ceo of the National Safety council, deborah hersman. Deborah, thanks for joining us this morning. So many question raised by this accident. The company had taken many steps to put in Safety Measures before the ride opened. But what kind of questions are you asking right now . Whats on top of your mind . You know, i think first really is to let that investigation play out. Its good that theyve closed the park but we really want to understand what happened here and giving officials the time they need to do the investigation thoroughly and properly will give us a lot more answers. They added safety netting. They had weight requirements. So, is this more likely human error . You know, i think its really too early to tell. We really dont know what happened. Very tragic event here. People come to parks, water parks, amusement parks hoping to have fun but they certainly expect a safe ride and so we want to make sure that whenever everyone goes to a park that they do follow the height, weight and age restrictions, that they dont try to loosen up youre going to a water park make sure you know how to swim. Have we had many problems with water parks across the country . You know, the good news is we dont see fatalities. Theyre so rare but we do see injuries, but theyre also very infrequent. We know that some of the places that can be really dangerous in summertime are around water so making sure that when youre how to swim, parents, you want to make sure that youve got a close eye, close hand on your children. We see some injuries occur in pools every year and we see people die because of drowning. But certainly some serious injuries can occur on places like slides and so whether humans are involved or whether its equipment, you really want to be careful. We see head, neck and back injuries on slides. This ride was called insane. Are park operators taking these too far . You know, i t the question really is, is the ride safe . And if the ride is safe, we want to make sure that everyone who rides the ride is safe. And so, taking the precautions that we need, if there are changes that need to be made im sure that this park will be looking closely at that. But ultimately theres also some responsibility for local and state authorities to take a look at it, as well as the manufacturers, to ensure that everything is safe every time. Okay, deborah hersman, thanks for joining us this morning. So, lots of questions to be answered but, boy, our hearts go out to that family. Absolutely. Its so important to think about those things she said. Were going to move on now to the race for the white house and donald trump struggling to get back on track after a tough poll number. Our new poll showing Hillary Clinton with an eightpoint lead as trump steps up his attack. Abcs tom llamas tracking it all for us. Good morning, tom. Reporter lara, george, good morning to you. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton will be showcasing different economic plans this week as trump is using clintons own words against her. This morning, as some wonder if Trumps Campaign is coming unhinged, the republican nominee lobbing that same attack on Hillary Clinton. She is a totally unhinged person, shes unbalanced. Honestly, i dont think shes all there. Reporter trump seizing on this statement clinton made about her truthfulness discussing her email server. So i may have shortcircuited it and for that i, you know, reporter the Trump Campaign posting this video on social media portraying clinton as a robot. I may have shortcircuited it. Reporter and trump having a field day with that shortcircuit comment. She took a shortcircuit in the brain and shes got problems. I mean, if we had real people, this would be a real problem for her. But i think that the people of this country dont want somebody that is going to shortcircuit up here. Okay. Not as your president. Reporter trumps new attacks come on the heels of new polls that show him in a summer slump. Our abc News Washington post poll showing many voters worried about trump. Twothirds say he has the wrong temperament. Almost as many say hes unqualified and untrustworthy. A point former cia director mike morell made on this week in regards to trumps relationship from mr. Trumps perspective, right, he simply heard putin compliment him. He then responded by complimenting him. He never thought that he might be being played. Reporter trump firing back on twitter calling morell, a man who has made some serious bad calls and a total clinton flunky. And today in detroit trump will unveil his economic plan. And we have a preview this morning. Here are some highlights. Trumps want to repeal and replace obamacare and he wants to limit taxation of business, all businesses, to 15 and stop all payments using tax dollars to the u. N. Global warming programs and also exclude child care expenses from taxation. Now, the Clinton Campaign is already calling this trumponomics saying if he wins, you lose. George, lara. Thanks very much. Lets bring this to matt dowd. Matt, trump clearly digging out of a hole right now, but what hes trying today, an economic jobs and trying to consolidate republicans with a lot of ideas that have been republican orthodoxy for a long time. Yeah, i mean, i think hes much better arguing on the ground of the Economic Situation in the country today instead of this argument around the shortcircuited situation. If i were donald trump i would not be getting into an argument about in the course of this race. Its not a ground i think is very good for him in this. Hes much better off on this b in this speech he has to do the equivalent of jim furyks 58 yesterday which was an amazing situation set the alltime record, in order to break this pattern, hes going to have to hit it out of the park. Out of the park and one speech alone isnt going to do it. The question is, can he stay on message for a consistent series of days and weeks . At the same time, youre saying, you know, as we look at our poll, there is an eightpoint lead for Hillary Clinton in our abc News Washington post poll twoway race, and youre paying attention to the fourway race. You think over time those the Green Party Candidate and gary johnson, the libertarian candidate can actually have an impact. Yeah, i think, unlike years past, you know, where the third or fourth party dwindle as they get closer to election day i actually think theyre going to rise as we get closer to election day. I think because of the dissatisfaction as we see in the abc poll with both Major Party Candidates and the fact theyre both unliked and theyre both distrusted means theres an opportunity for gary johnson and to a degree jill stein to grow their support. The question, george, is can they get enough support to get in that debate, that first debate in september . I think its unlikely but thats really the threshold they need to beat which is 15 . It worked for ross perot back in 1992. Finally, Hillary Clinton stepped in it again over the weekend with those new comments about the email server. How does she hold on, consolidate this lead she now has . Dont go on the air. I think the best thing that she has done in the course of this is let donald trump occupy the media landscape which hes consistently made mistakes and as shes disappeared her poll numbers rise and that is actually pretty consistent over the last eight years. As she goes off the media platform her numbers rise so if i were her cede it to donald trump and let donald trump keep doing what hes doing. Go to the states. Local media strategy, matt dowd, thanks very much. Never a dull moment. Same thing in rio where americas olympians are hitting their stride taking home two gold medals in spectacular fashion an slowing down. Amy is live in rio with all the latest. Good morning, amy. Hey, good morning, lara.

The family of 30yearold jogger who was killed while running last week now speaking out. Her mother blasting the killer who is still on the loose. Abcs linsey davis joins us now from queens with more on the investigation. Good m reporter good morning, lara. Just one day after laying their 30yearold daughter karina to rest both of her parents spoke publicly but it was her mother who had some especially blistering words. To stress her point she started off by taking off her sunglasses and telling everyone to look in her eyes as she could address the man directly that she called a coward. I guarantee you, you will pay forever. Unbridled pain and anguish on full display. Soon were going to have a face to the piece of garbage that you are. Reporter on sunday afternoon Cathy Vetrano shared this chilling message to the person who killed her daughter. The whole entire world knows what a pathetic, puny, weak piece of filth that you are. Reporter these words are the first weve heard from vetranos family since the 30yearold was found dead less than a week ago. Her body was discovered just 15 feet away from a trail that she and her father ran nearly every day but back pain forced him to stay at home the afternoon she was killed. The retired firefighter now has a message of his own for the attacker. Justice will be served. Reporter on friday, detectives discovered a sneaker and headphones near the crime testing in the hopes of finding fingerprints or dna evidence, meanwhile, vetranos devastated parents laid their daughter to rest saturday. Her casket was met with salutes as hundreds gathered for the funeral. Even actor Donnie Wahlberg took a moment this weekend to remember her, writing on twitter ive met thousands of amazing new yorkers while filming blue bloods, none were as kind as karina vetrano. So many people attended saturdays Funeral Service so they outside where people were standing. Anyone with information will now get a 10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest. Lara. Linsey, thank you so much. Joining us now, senior legal analyst sunny hostin. Sunny, obviously family so angry, so sad. But does a press conference like this help or hurt the investigation . There is no question that it helps the investigation because department, this energizes the community. This is a plea for justice. This is a plea for help so we may get more tips being called in. I think everyone that saw that really related to that family and thought i want justice for karina, too, and thats why people do these press conferences. Because they want people to feel their private grief publicly. Its sort of a call to action. Yes, you could not watch that and have your heart i mean, just break for karinas mother, for the entire family. So now whats next . Whats next in this investigation . Well, they do leads but we know that there may be some dna evidence and theyre testing that now. Remember, this was a particularly gruesome, gruesome crime. Were talking about someone that was dragged off of a jogging path, possibly sexually assaulted. Her teeth were broken, scrapes to her legs. Were talking about something, very, very gruesome so my sense is, because of that press conference, perhaps well be getting in many more tips. I think perhaps if theres a dna hit that would be helpful first time. So lets hope this is someone that may be in a dna database. Right, right. Her mother, her father both said karina was such a fighter and she fought so there really might be a lead right there. There might be. And i also want to mention this, looking forward to a possible trial, this kind of press conference helps because every potential juror, you would imagine, now knows about this case, has seen this press conference and will want justice for the family. So this is the very beginning of a but hopefully justice for karina. Absolutely. Hopefully justice for karina, sunny, thank you so much. Oh, thank you. Were going to move on now to new trouble for Oscar Pistorius. The former paralympics champ rushed to the hospital after injuring his wrists in prison where he is serving time for his girlfriends murder and abcs lama hasan has the latest. Good morning, lama. Reporter good morning to recovering from what are being described as minor wounds to his wrists. So what happened to pistorius . Well, according to him it was an accident. He fell in his jail cell and injured himself, but there are some who believe he may have been trying to take his own life. One of the most famous former olympians in the world, Oscar Pistorius, is fighting back, denying claims he was trying to commit suicide. Saying he had fallen after losing his balance on his stumps and slipping in his jail cell but the south African Media are running a different story attempt that he was bleeding heavily claiming there were razor blades found in his cell after the incident. With reports of an inmate describing his wounds as, quote, definitely selfinflicted. His brother carl categorically denying these claims tweeting, i know that there are reports saying that he tried to injure himself, they are completely untrue and sensational. All other crazy and unreliable he slipped in his cell and injured himself, nothing serious. And the hospital he was treated at releasing this short statement, the Kgosi Mampuru Ii Correctional Centre attended to his injuries but further sent him to kalafong hospital for treatment. Pistorius is behind bars serving six years for murdering his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. Battling this verdict, the prosecution say it will appeal again arguing the sentence was, quote, shockingly lenient. While oscars brother hammering home the point was just an accident and nothing more urging people not to believe those media reports saying he himself went to see his brother in his cell sunday saying that he was doing well and in good spirits. George. Okay, lama, thanks very much. Now, lets go over to lara. Thank you, george. Coming up on the big board, camera controversy over a Fatal Police Shooting in chicago. Why wasnt it caught on the officers body camera. The yankee slugger announcing his retirement. The question is, was he forced to quit . Plus, Renee Zellweger addressing speculation about her appearance. Well talk about it all coming up on our big board in two minutes. Starbucks . Smallbatch cold brew coffee. In stores now. Strike sfx boop . Complete pair of eyeglasses, 1 year replacement warranty, 38 when people ask me what its like to win an olympic medal, i tell them, you already know. The medals youve earned are all around you. Your bronze. Your silver. And Liberty Mutual insures them all. Liberty mutual is proud to insure every team usa medal won in rio, just like we protect the medals youve earned in life. Liberty stands with you. Liberty mutual insurance. Im one of them. Yo tambien. 000 nevadans im one of them. Who rely on social security. Social security helps us pay the bills. And enjoy the retirement that weve earned. Thats what makes joe heck so dangerous. His plan to privatize n profits for wall street. Risking Retirement Security on the stock market. What if it crashes again . Wall street has given joe heck over a half a million bucks. I wonder who hes working for . Because its not us. Afscme people is responsible for the content of this ad. Welcome back. Time now for our big board. Our team of insiders standing by live for more on this mornings top stories. Sunny hostin, our senior legal analyst, is back and this comes out of chicago. This Controversial Police shooting, they released nine videos of the shooting. But one crucial video is missing, that was on the officer who was on the scene. Apparently it was not turned on. Thats what the police are saying right now but that has led to some to charge a coverup. Thats right and everybody is talking about a coverup thats because nine videos released. Some from dash cam, some from important would have been the body camera from the body cam of the officer that fatally shot paul oneal in the back and so this was supposed to be sort an air of transparency for the Chicago Police department which has been plagued by allegations of racism and Brutal Police force and now you have this Pilot Program with body cameras that should have been very helpful but now it doesnt seem like its that helpful because a lot of the behavior, quite frankly, that was caught is very shocking, very disturbing. You see officers cursing at a fatally wounded teenager. You see officers highfiving after the shooting and you also see officers, quite frankly, pointing to the body cameras and telling the other officers to turn them off. This has led not to the transparency into the good feelings in the community but, in fact, to more distrust between the police and the africanamerican community. Right. Quite the opposite so based on what you just said what those tapes have shown, could the officers involved in the shooting be charged criminally . And thats because its clear its against Department Policy to shoot at a car thats going away from the police, 15 shots were at the car, and i think its also important to notice that note that he was shot in the back and the Supreme Court has held that generally you cant shoot a fleeing felon in the back. So, looking at all of that, it is possible that we could see criminal charges stemming from this case. Yeah, were going to be following this one. Sunny, thank you very much. You bet. Got to move on to a major league retirement. Tough day for alex rodriguez. Crying during his press conference, tearfully announcing he will play his last game on friday. Take a look. I love this game. And i love this team. And today im saying goodbye to both. I never thought i could play for 22 years. So, a lot of questions given that hes so upset. Was this his decision . We have t. J. Holmes with us. Good morning, teej. So, what do you make of sort of abrupt midseason retirement . Well, its what weve come to expect from alex rodriguez, right. In his career, nothing is ever simple and its not this time at all either. Now, we can call this a retirement. But, or you can he was going to be released. That might be the truth there. Turns out the yankees essentially trying to move another direction. They want to get younger, they want to get better and look too the future. When you have a 41yearold on your books making 20 plus million a year whos batting. 200 he is not in the plan so they were probably going to release him at the end of this season anyway. But that wouldnt have been very ceremonious and they just would have parted ways but this way they brought an offer to him and said, well let you do this and keep your salary, and even the salary youre owed next season, adviser so hes essentially going to get 27 million to go away. But everybody gets to save face here a little bit. Hes had kind of a tough relationship with the yankees over the past few years. Hes repaired that to a great degree but this way on friday itll be his last game and riding the bench for the past month or so if you havent been paying close attention so he said that was embarrassing for him. T. J. , everything about alex is complicated. But look at the stats. Youve got three mvps, 14 allstar team, fourth on the alltime home run list, but, of course, the scandal including seasonlong suspension for the steroid use. So, how do you sort through it . One of the most polarizing athletes in sports, but also one of the greatest in baseball, probably, as well. Itll take some time before people forget some of the bad and remember the good. But itll take some time and it depends what he does once he walks away from the game to see how people remember that legacy of his. Lets move on. Renee zellweger, slamming tabloids firing back at speculation she had Plastic Surgery. Business but i did not make a decision to alter my face, have surgery on my eyes. Lets talk to our friend larry hackett, former People Magazine editor in chief. This has been swirling around for some time. She has a new movie coming out i think in september. Another Bridget Jones movie and this was kicked up by renee herself. It was, you know, these pictures emerge of her new appearance came out in the fall of 2014 and had nothing to say at that time. I think the idea behind this, you hit on it, is the movie. Bridget jones baby and the idea tha answer over and over at press junkets and on red carpets, did you have Plastic Surgery is something neither she nor the study gee wants to do. She answered it once. Whenever they have a question she can say i answered this once in my essay in the Huffington Post and that will be the end of it. This is absolutely a preemptive strike to stop a barrage of questions. You say to them that will be the end of it. Is that the end of it . People will decide. I have no idea whether or not she had Plastic Surgery. I think what happened here is that this story had grown. The New York Times ran a story. She mentions it in her essay and left the world of tabloids and bled into Mainstream Media and i think that would have been fair for people to say to, of course, ask the question. I think this is a way to nip it in the bud. Nice choice of words there with the nip. There are other celebrities, larry, who are taking sort of a different approach. I want to point out orlando bloom, justin bieber, both caught with their pants down, if you will, shot on vacation and dont seem to care.

Of trying to strangle and kill her. This morning, the headline making photos raising big concerns about Lindsay Lohan and her russian fiance egor tarabasov. The photos capturing them in a fight on a beach in greece. The mean girls star who turned 30 at the beginning of july was vacationing in mykonos when the dramatic scene was caught on camera. She accused egor of taking her mobile phone because she couldnt find her mobile phone in her handbag, then she tried to make a grab at his and ended up throwing his out of the jeep. It landed in either the sand or the sea, and he went for her. Reporter reporter Katie Nicholl spoke with the former child star in italy. Lohan saying, there have been so many lies printed about me recently. Ive kept quiet for so long, but now im scared of what egor might do to me and myself. To himself. Discussing the Domestic Abuse that made headlines last week, she said, its not the first time. Thats the problem. Theyd been on a night out and he attacked her.

That overpowering start for the womens Gymnastics Team building on that gold medal performance four years ago. Former medalist Dominique Dawes here to talk about it but first lets go to matt gutman in rio for all the action. Good morning, matt. Reporter hey, good morning, george. To say that the u. S. Women dominated in qualifying would be an understatement. They came in first, second and third. The team is anchored by a human rocket that we know is simone biles and get this, she hasnt lost a competition in three years. She is a 48 reporter this morning the smallest american gymnast has made her gargantuan landing on rios world stage. That human spring known as simone biles leading the american womens Gymnastics Team in team qualifying sunday dominating china and russia. The Team Includes two veterans, in the individual allaround going on to land her very own lifetime movie and reality show. And current team captain aly raisman at 22 years old now back on olympic turf after trading in her floor exercises in london for the ballroom floor on dancing with the stars. Rounding out the team, two more newcomers, 16yearold Laurie Hernandez and 19yearold Madison Kocian but every single eyeball in the Olympic Arena will be on biles. Today shes the best gymnast in the world. Reporter the 19yearold is already a threetime world champion. We know we have big responsibilities ahead of us and were just super excited. Reporter so the u. S. Women are heavily favored to win in the team competition. So the biggest question is right now, what do we call them . In the 2012 games in london they were known as the fierce five so now is it the fiercer five, the fiercest five . Theyre vying for gold tomorrow in that stadium behind me. George. Youll be working on that nickname. Dominique dawes joins us now a veteran of the magnificent seven u. S. Team in 1997. The women coming off that spectacular performance in 2012. The bar is high. It is very high. I dont know if the girls are feeling the pressure because for th they are ten point as head of their nearest competitors russia and china so theyll feel a little bit of pressure but their number one competition is themselves so team usa is versus themselves. Seems like theyre having fun with it. I met simone biles for the first time at olympic trials and she is unlike any other olympic gymnast ive ever met. Did not have the you know, the gate to the bars is up which what is myself and my magnificent seven always had, she was really relaxed, fun, genuine, and shes looks like what do you think thats about. I think thats her personality. I heard she goes through some fear factors and mental blocks every now and then but is a bubbly happy kid and got to meet her sister and mom and dad and that just seem to be loving people but shes handling the pressure if she feels any at all very well. I imagine it must be so much fun to watch. You were a trail blazer for africanamerican women in gymnastics and she is now blazing a new trail, as well. Shes definitely blazing a new trail. I was the first africanamerican to compete in the 92 olympics along with betty okino and the first africanamerican to win a medal at the 96 olympic ghams. Diane durham was amazing and would have been neck and neck competitionwise with Mary Lou Retton so a gymnast like diane paved the way for me and i paved the way for simone. What kind of advice do you fun. They truly do love what theyre doing. Those five girls out there, though theres only four or three that are competing they look like theyre loving what theyre doing so always have a passion for what youre doing and remember, even though you turn pro or start to make money in the sport, dont treat it like a job, dont treat it like a business. You got to make sure you still have the love of the sport and i truly hope that simone biles continues to have the love of the sport even while she begins to make a significant amount of gold and all around gold. Thanks for coming back in. Thanks for having me. Lets go to rob. Hey, george, great crowd out here. We are patriotic, excited about the olympics. These guys came from live free or die, how great is your summer going. Its going pretty well. You want the u. S. To bring in big gold, dont you . Yes, definitely. Love that outfit.

Reporter its the magical story of a boy and his best friend. Shhh. 40 years ago. . Look in your eyes and you whisper sweetly . . Oh oh oh oh . Reporter now reimaged. Whats so great about this petes dragon is that it doesnt step on the toes of the original. Its a very different story. Reporter the film centers on a 10yearold orphan boy named pete living in the woods with elliott, a giant green dragon. Whats the overall theme of this movie. I think this movie is really about finding your family and maybe your family isnt necessarily your blood. But your family can be your friends, your family did be an adopted family. This is a beautiful story of a boy who loses his family and finds another one and there happens to be a dragon. Have you metal yacht yet. Oh, yeah, elliott and i are very good friends. Just wanted to make sure because im waiting to meet elliott. Its a big deal when you meet elliott. I basically have a giggle fit every single time im around elliott. Very cool. I keep expecting just elliott the way i remember him from 1977. Yes. This dragon is like nothing anyone has ever seen before. Gets a very unique dragon and hes so awesome. Reporter for Good Morning America, sara haines, abc news, new zealand. On friday. Coming up here, hugh grant right happy to stay were back with hugh grant. No stranger to strong leading ladies like julia robert, Renee Zellweger. Now starring opposite meryl streep in the film Florence Foster jenkins. This is based on a true story in it meryl plays t famous not great singer. Hugh is her incredibly loyal husband and manager and in this clip hes sharing a review very carefully. The consensus was shed never sung better. Her grace and brilliant personality only added to the remarkable quality of her voice. By the end of her performance the stage was a bow of blue and madam jenkins retired to thunderous applause. Bravissimo. Steven ferrer directed this film which i could not believe is based 0en a true story. Will you share with us a little about who florence is . Well, yes, she was a millionai millionairess heiress in the 1940s. The film takes place in the 40s when she was in her 70s and ran the classical life of the city. Only problem was she herself felt that she cou wasnt just bad, she was so hilariously bad that she could fill kaCarnegie Hall and things like that and never knew people were coming to laugh at her and was protected of the knowledge of that by me her husband and group around her. Your character, so wildly loyal that he will go to any length to protect his wife and make sure that she doesnt know how bad she is. What drew you to that character . Well, the whole concept of the film i think was fascinating, this awful singer and sort of whole idea of delusion, but my character was rather interesting. Hes extremely loving and loyal, protective but nuanced and complex is what hes got other tough going on and you ask yourself in the film or at least for a lot of the film youre asking yourself does he really love this or is he in it for the money because shes so his own career really. But hopefully in the end people realize this is real love. There is a real love story and its not what you think. It is there are weird twists and turns in this elegant tale. Yes, its difficult to talk about them without ruining the film in yes, i shant. I feel like i have to say shant because youre so elegant. What was it like working with meryl streep and especially in this character. Well, obviously it was a big anymore. You know, ive sort of moved on a built but when this came up with such a great script and steven and meryl streep clearly i had to do it. And i was terrified of her with her 19 oscar nominations, but actually she was delightful. Did she do any raised my game. Did she notice you were nervous, any exchange in the early days of table reads . She pretended she was, as well. I used to ask her every day, meryl, are you nervous for the first week, yes, yes, im nervous. After two weeks she said, no, im not nervous anymore. How in the world did she find that voice, because florence is, you know, makes it to Carnegie Hall and fills it but its cringe worthy singing. Its she is an actress of genius. Shes also a classically trained singer so she learned to sing difficult it had to be hard for meryl to be bad at something. Perfectly bad. She learned them all perfectly then messed them up. Its been said that you may you just alluded to it. You might retire from films altogether in well, i had moved on slightly. I was doing other stuff in life. Very involved with various political things in britain but occasionally its lovely to dip my toe back in will you please come back to lake showbiz again. Ill have a towel waiting for you.
