Devil Wears Prada reunion! Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt reveal how they first met 18 years ago on iconic movie and why Meryl Streep said she was ‘so miserable’ on set

Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt can’t believe they’ve known each other for 18 years after first meeting on the set of Devil Wears Prada.

The Hollywood actresses reunited for the Actors on Actors issue of Variety and realized it had been nearly two decades since they they lit up the screen playing arch enemy assistants Andrea and Emily, respectively, in the iconic 2006 comedy that catapulted them into megastardom.

‘You are one of the people I’ve known longest. We’ve known each other for 18 years,’ Blunt incredulously told Hathaway, to which she replied, ‘What? Our relationship is the age of an adult.’

Blunt hilariously added, ‘That’s drinking age in England,’ as Hathaway quipped, ‘We are so drunk in England right now.’

The stars then took a walk down memory lane to reveal the details of their very first interaction before the cameras rolled on the $325 million blockbuster.

‘Did we meet before the table read?’ Blunt asked as she hilariously noted her memory is not her greatest asset.

‘This is so embarrassing because I remember every second of the first time I met you,’ Hathaway replied, before joking, ‘I’m so much more into you than you are into me. It’s fine. It’s fine.’

She continued: ‘I was hearing that your name came up, and they said, “It’s this amazing girl out of England and she’s so funny.” And I remember walking into the room and turning and meeting you. In my head — instant thought — I was like, “What a movie star!”

‘You were shedding stardust.’ Hathaway continued. ‘Then we went for coffee. I took you for a walk around where I live [in New York]’

Blunt responded: ‘I was so green coming into that situation. And you were like the warmest embrace. Even though you were a colossal movie star at that time, you treated me like a complete equal.’

The British beauty, 40, went on to say that the pair had a ‘joy bomb’ making the film, although neither actress could foresee it becoming a huge part of pop culture.

‘It’s quoted to me every week,’ Blunt added. ‘It will be the movie that changed my life.’

The David Frankel-directed film was based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel of the same name and revolves around the character Andy Sachs (played by Hathaway), a recent college graduate aspiring to be a journalist.

‘You are one of the people I’ve known longest. We’ve known each other for 18 years,’ Blunt incredulously told Hathaway, to which she replied, ‘What? Our relationship is the age of an adult’

‘This is so embarrassing because I remember every second of the first time I met you,’ Hathaway replied, before joking, ‘I’m so much more into you than you are into me. It’s fine. It’s fine’

She lands a job as the assistant to the powerful Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep), the editor-in-chief of the prestigious fashion magazine Runway, who also employs aloof lead assistant Emily Charlton (Blunt).

During their reunion for Variety, Hathaway and Blunt had a blast reciting iconic quotes from the movie and revealed that Streep and Stanley Tucci (who played art director Nigel Kipling) would often improvise their lines.

They also dished on the fun they had on set, which they said was often lost on Streep as she stayed in character as the demanding boss.

‘You know, I think [Meryl] always wanted to join in on the fun with us. She kept herself so in character,’ Hathaway said.

‘Do you know she’s never done Method acting since?’ Blunt chimed in.

‘She said it made her so miserable on this one, because we were all having a party on the other side of the set. And she was like, “I won’t do this again.”’

The actresses also dished on the scene where Hathaway’s character is complaining about her boss to her boyfriend (played by Adrian Grenier).

‘Fun fact: I am wearing my cousin’s headband in that scene,’ Hathaway revealed.

‘Do you know what I loved about that headband? Your little bangs would stick out. It was just so cute. It was just so nerdy. And I wanted that grilled cheese so badly,’ Blunt hilariously added.
