4 May
Summary
- An influencer earned USD 329 for a brief scene in the movie.
- The influencer was discovered unexpectedly on the streets of New York.
- He was asked to provide his own wardrobe, spending over 15 hours on set.
"The Devil Wears Prada 2," released twenty years after its predecessor, has reunited stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt. The film revisits the world of fashion journalism with a contemporary digital twist, blending nostalgia with fresh storytelling. The sequel has been well-received by critics and fans alike, even drawing attention from social media influencer Matthew Ables.
Ables, with over 47.3K Instagram followers, revealed he was paid USD 329 (approximately INR 19,900) for his appearance. His involvement began unexpectedly when he encountered Meryl Streep on a New York street. He later discovered many background actors were paid extras and successfully applied for a role through a casting notice, requiring him to supply his own wardrobe.
He secured affordable outfits from H&M, as he could not afford Prada. Ables dedicated more than 15 hours on set for his brief scenes. While his initial filming was seamless, a subsequent scene where he was asked about his attire led to his dismissal. The film itself focuses on Andy Sachs and Miranda Priestly collaborating to save a struggling publication in the digital age, with Emily Charlton adding competitive tension.
