Anne Hathaway's Prada Role: A Near Miss?
7 May
Summary
- Anne Hathaway was the ninth actress approached for 'Devil Wears Prada'.
- She felt a mystical magnetism towards the role despite others declining.
- The film sequel, 'Devil Wears Prada 2,' has recently premiered.
Anne Hathaway shared that she was not the first choice for her breakout role as Andy Sachs in the 2006 film 'The Devil Wears Prada.' She was actually the ninth actress considered for the part. Hathaway joked that the names of the eight actresses who turned it down are permanently etched in her memory.
Despite being far down the casting list, Hathaway felt an intense, almost mystical pull toward the project. She couldn't comprehend why other stars were passing on such a significant role, believing it was destined for her. Several prominent actresses, including Rachel McAdams and Scarlett Johansson, were reportedly considered.
Hathaway previously discussed this experience on 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' using it to inspire others. Now, 17 years married and a mother of two, she reflects on her journey. The sequel, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' has officially arrived in theaters, exactly 20 years after the original film's premiere.
