- The actress declined the role in "The Devil Dons Prada".
"The Devil Wears Prada" Almost Took a Different Turn: Kate Hudson shared some intriguing insights during her appearance on "Capital Breakfast". The beloved comedy almost had a different leading lady, as Hudson passed on the role initially offered to her. At 45, Hudson admitted to fans that this decision was a regrettable mistake.
Hudson was swamped with other filming projects, and scheduling conflicts prevented her from accepting the lead role. After watching the final product, she expressed her dismay, saying, "Yuck." Her words echoed what many would feel if they missed out on the chance to be a part of this iconic comedy.
Eventually, Anne Hathaway epically portrayed the unforgettable character of Andrea "Andy" Sachs, a naive college graduate who endured her domineering boss, Miranda Priestly, played by the legendary Meryl Streep. This heart-wrenching role was a significant milestone in Hathaway's career, catapulting her from the teen comedy realm of "The Princess Diaries" to a more mature and recognized actress.
Will "The Devil Wears Prada" Get a Sequel?
There were whispers of a potential sequel to the beloved comedy, fueled by the recent Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia. Emily Blunt, who played the character of Emily Charlton, the backstabbing assistant to Priestley, hinted that there were rumors and movements in the works, but no definite confirmation was given. Blunt enthusiastically shared her eagerness to work together again with her co-stars.
The thought of a sequel to "The Devil Wears Prada" stirs excitement among fans, who loved watching the original character dynamics unfold on the big screen. For now, all we can do is wait and hope for some confirmations in the near future.
