Anne Hathaway Denies Body Type Firing Claims on ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ Set
Anne Hathaway has addressed reports surrounding the production of “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” denying claims that models were fired because of their body type.
Speaking during an appearance on “Good Morning America,” Hathaway responded directly to the rumors and said the information circulating online was not accurate. The comments were reported by Entertainment Weekly.
The actress, who returns as Andy Sachs in the sequel, explained that one of the creative goals of the film was to show more diversity in the fashion world. She said the production aimed to include people with a wider range of body types, especially in runway scenes.
Hathaway made it clear that no one was let go because of those decisions. She called the reports false and said there were no job losses connected to the casting changes. She stated, “That just didn’t happen, nobody lost their jobs. In fact, it created more jobs.”
She also said the idea behind the scene was to make the film more inclusive and reflect different types of people on screen. According to her, the intention was to allow more viewers to see themselves represented in the story.
During the interview, she mentioned that a song by Lady Gaga is part of the sequence, but she did not give further details to avoid revealing spoilers.
Earlier comments from Meryl Streep, who also stars in the film, added more context to the discussion. Streep said the cast attended real fashion shows while preparing for the sequel and noticed how thin many runway models were. She also said Hathaway raised concerns with producers about including healthier and more varied body types in the production.
The sequel continues the story years after the original film and brings back familiar characters, including Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs, along with other returning cast members.
Some casting decisions have also drawn attention, including reports that certain planned cameos did not make the final cut. However, the focus of recent discussion has remained on the fashion scenes and how they were shaped during production.
It is positive to see films moving toward more realistic and inclusive casting, especially in industries like fashion that have long been criticized for narrow standards. At the same time, it is also easy for misinformation to spread quickly when big films are involved, so it is important to wait for confirmed facts.
