Anne Hathaway sets the record straight after the internet flipped for a behind-the-scenes moment The Devil Wears Prada 2 into full blown fashion drama.
The actress recently found herself at the center of viral headlines after Meryl Streep revealed that Hathaway pushed producers to include more plus-size models in a major scene.
Some people online somehow translated that into: models were fired.
According to Hathaway? Absolutely not.
“No one lost their job, in fact it created more jobs,” she explained during an appearance on Good Morning America.
The actress said it all started as a quick observation on set after noticing that most of the models fit the traditional runway shape.
“I thought the scene would be so much more fun for the audience if we just had a wider range of bodies on display,” Hathaway said. “Because all different forms are beautiful.”
Simple. Logical. Very Andy Sachs-with-a-backbone.
Hathaway added that the producers immediately agreed when she brought it up. “They were the ones who made it happen in an hour.”
And apparently there’s another big detail that fans are now obsessing over: a mysterious song written by Lady Gaga for the film.
“There’s a song that Lady Gaga wrote and it’s a beautiful, amazing song,” Hathaway teased. “Isn’t it better when you see so many different types of bodies up there with it?”
Honestly? Miranda Priestly would probably still judge everyone equally.
But this time the runway accommodates more than one body type – and Hathaway seems quite proud of that.
