During a recent SiriusXM Front Row session hosted by Andy Cohen, cast members from 'The Devil Wears Prada' reunited, offering candid insights into the film's production. Emily Blunt admitted to feeling intimidated by Meryl Streep's intense portrayal of Miranda Priestly.
Blunt described Streep as being in a "Miranda Zone" during the filming of the first movie, explaining that Streep maintained her character's serious demeanor. While Streep was approachable, she rarely broke character, contributing to her formidable on-screen presence.
Streep elaborated on her acting process, revealing that she intentionally created a slight remove from her co-stars. She spent time with the director near the camera to establish the character's authority and maintain a barrier.
This deliberate distance, Streep explained, was crucial for embodying the commanding nature of Miranda Priestly. She recalled hearing her castmates enjoying themselves at parties while she remained focused, a method that she felt "worked" for her performance.
