Ellen Pompeo’s name is synonymous with “Grey’s Anatomy” and her iconic character Meredith Grey.
However, it was Allen who eventually convinced Pompeo to rise to the occasion.
However, now the actress is confessing that it wasn’t always easy to work with Washington.
“I was like, ‘Look at me when you apologize.
Look at me,'” she recalled telling Dempsey during the scene.
“And that wasn’t in the dialogue.
And Denzel went ham on my a**.
He was like, ‘I’m the director.
Don’t you tell him what to do,'” she said.
“This is my set.
Who are you telling?”
So, it was an amazing experience, it really was."
