Meryl Streep has shared details about her experience working on The Devil Wears Prada 2, including an important moment involving her co star Anne Hathaway. While the original film showed a demanding work environment through the character of Miranda Priestly, Streep said that off screen, Hathaway took a thoughtful step during the sequel’s production.

During a conversation with Harper’s Bazaar, Streep spoke about attending fashion shows in Milan while filming. She explained that the experience left her uncomfortable. “I was struck by how not only beautiful and young, everyone seems young to me, but alarmingly thin the models were.” She added that Hathaway noticed the same thing and decided to address it.

According to Streep, Hathaway approached the producers directly to raise concerns. She wanted to ensure that the film did not show models in an unhealthy way. Streep said, “I thought that all had been addressed years ago. Annie clocked it too, and she made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal!” She also added, “She’s a stand-up girl.”

The sequel to The Devil Wears Prada has already attracted attention, as it brings back characters from the original film after nearly two decades. The movie was filmed last year in New York City, where the production drew large crowds and media attention. Streep recalled that the scale of public interest was more intense than expected.

She said, “Even though we were aware of the impact of the first film two decades ago, I think none of us was prepared for the ambush of both goodwill and avid attention that engulfed us.” She further described the situation, saying, “We needed police barriers and crowd control. Buses of fans turned up, and paparazzi swarmed and, in one case, kept jumping in front of the camera and the shot and got in a kerfuffle with the crew. Annie kept her cool, but I was unnerved.”

The film is directed by David Frankel and continues the story of Andy Sachs, who is now working as a Features Editor at Runway magazine. The narrative brings her back into contact with Miranda Priestly after many years. The sequel also features Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, along with several new cast members.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled to release in theatres on May 1.

Ryan Gosling made an unexpected appearance at a movie theatre in New York during the opening night of his latest film Project Hail Mary. The surprise visit quickly caught the attention of the audience, as the actor spoke openly about the current state of cinema and the role of filmmakers in bringing people back to theatres.

During his interaction with the audience, Gosling reflected on how the film came together over the years. He said, “Six years ago, I got the manuscript. (It’s) the most ambitious thing I’ll ever make, it seemed impossible. It was too good not to give it a shot. Six years later, we did it. Here we are, we’re all back in theatres. It’s not your job to keep them open, it’s our job to make things that make it worth you coming out”.

His statement focused on a larger issue that the film industry has been facing in recent years. After the pandemic, theatre attendance dropped significantly, and many people shifted to streaming platforms. While there has been ongoing discussion about audiences not returning to cinemas, Gosling made it clear that the responsibility lies with filmmakers to create content that draws people back.

He ended his interaction on an engaging note, giving the audience a glimpse of what to expect from the film. “You’re about to go to another galaxy, make an alien best friend and save the stars. This movie is for you. Enjoy the trip”.

The film has already made a strong impact at the box office. According to reports by Variety, Project Hail Mary earned around 140.9 million dollars globally in its opening weekend. This makes it one of the biggest openings of 2026 so far. It has also become the highest debut for Amazon MGM, crossing the previous record set by Creed 3.

The strong performance of the film shows that audiences are still willing to visit theatres when there is enough excitement around a release. Gosling himself has been part of major successes before, including Barbie, which was one of the biggest films of 2023.

Overall, his message highlights a simple idea. Audiences will come to theatres if the experience feels worth it. For the film industry, this means focusing on strong storytelling and engaging content rather than relying on audience habits alone.

The controversy surrounding Chappell Roan at a Brazilian hotel has taken a new turn, with a security guard stepping forward to clear the air. Pascal Duvier, a protection specialist, has publicly claimed full responsibility for the incident that quickly went viral online.

The situation initially sparked outrage after claims surfaced that Roan’s security had confronted a young girl, reportedly the daughter of Jude Law, during a hotel encounter. The narrative painted the moment as an aggressive intervention linked to the pop star’s team, drawing criticism from fans and the public.

However, Duvier has now firmly denied any connection to Roan. In a statement, he clarified that he was not employed by the singer, her management, or her security team. Instead, he said he was present at the hotel on behalf of another individual and acted independently based on his own judgment.

According to Duvier, his actions were influenced by prior observations at the hotel and what he described as heightened security concerns. He maintains that his interaction with the child’s mother was calm and intended to prevent any potential risk, though he admitted that the outcome of the situation was regrettable.

Earlier accusations had come from footballer Jorginho, who suggested that Roan’s team was responsible for the incident involving his stepdaughter. That claim has now been contradicted both by Duvier’s statement and by a representative for Roan, who reiterated that he was not part of her security detail.

As the situation continues to unfold, the focus has shifted from the artist to the broader issue of misinformation and how quickly narratives can spiral online. For now, Duvier’s admission appears to draw a clearer line between the incident and Roan herself, though public debate around the episode is far from over.
