Meg Ryan grabs a coffee on first outing after Michael Parkinson apologised to her over interview

Meg Ryan looked in good spirits as she grabbed a coffee during an outing in Los Angeles following Michael Parkinson’s apology to her over their infamous 2003 interview.

The actress, 59, cut a casual figure as she caught up with a friend at the trendy Verve Coffee Roasters on Melrose Avenue on Wednesday.

The You’ve Got Mail star donned a black, short-sleeved top on the outing along with a matching skirt. 

Letting her blonde locks fall loose down her shoulders, she also sported a pair of sunglasses.

Carrying a black bag, the film star completed her look with a pair of trainers.  

Meg was seen giving her friend a hug just days after broadcaster Michael issued an apology to her.

Michael apolgised to the actress for their car crash encounter and confessed to being ‘angry and pompous’.

The talk show legend, 86, also admitted that he would be taken off air now in today’s ‘ultra-sensitive world’.

Sir Michael clashed with the Hollywood star in 2003 when talking about her poorly reviewed film In The Cut.

A frosty Miss Ryan replied to his questions with one-word answers and ended up telling him to ‘wrap it up’.

While Sir Michael has always claimed the actress was ‘rude and difficult’, he has admitted he did not react in the right way.

‘I wish I hadn’t lost my temper with Meg Ryan. I wish I’d dealt with it in a more courteous manner,’ he told Radio Times.

‘I was obviously angry with her and it’s not my business to be angry towards the guests. 

‘I came across as kind of pompous and I could have done better.’

Asked what he would say to her now, he replied: ‘I’m sorry. But you played a part in it too. Neither of us were on top form.’

Sir Michael hosted his BBC chat show for nearly two decades in two spells to 2004.

But he said: ‘In this ultra-sensitive world I doubt I could do an interview nowadays without being sent off. There are so many pitfalls and booby traps.’

In 2006 Meg said: ‘I felt he was berating me for being naked in the movie. 

‘He said something like, “You should go back to doing what you were doing”. I thought, “Are you like a disapproving dad? Back off, buddy”. I was so offended.’

Sir Michael was called a ‘sexist old fart’ by Helen Mirren after a 1975 interview.

He introduced the actress, then 30, as the ‘sex queen’ of the Royal Shakespeare Company and asked if her ‘equipment’ distracted audiences.

He has since said that the interview was ‘of its time’.
