Anne Hathaway on Tuesday spoke warmly of Meryl Streep, saying Streep’s influence has been a lasting “gift” in her life.
A press conference for the film ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ (directed by David Frankel) was held Tuesday afternoon at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Streep and Hathaway attended.
“This movie gave me a lot,” Hathaway said. “I was 22 at the time (of the first film), and my character was 22, too. I had a boss who was scary and amazing, and as a new actor I got to act with the most amazing actor. That experience made me who I am.”
“I was influenced by Meryl in every way,” she said. “I think it was a great gift in my life. So many doors opened, and because audiences loved me, I was able to take on other roles.”
Hathaway also praised Streep’s approach on set. “Meryl listens to what other people say when she acts, and she gains so much from that,” she said. “As a young actor, I could have gotten stuck in my own performance, but watching Meryl, I could feel what a deep mind is and how quickly her mind works. If you call it our chemistry, Meryl is so good and I just admire her. That’s our chemistry.”
‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ follows Miranda (Streep), the legendary editor-in-chief of fashion magazine ‘Runway,’ and Andy (Hathaway), who returns as a planning editor after 20 years, as they reunite with Emily (Emily Blunt), now an executive at a luxury brand. The story centers on their struggle to regain leadership in the fashion world amid a dramatically changed media environment. The film is set for its first theatrical release worldwide on April 29.
