It turns out that every fashion empire needs a diva, and on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2It’s not what you would expect.
Stanley Tucci happily claims the crown… and doesn’t even pretend otherwise.
After Anne Hathaway jokingly called him the “diva” during an appearance on the Late show with Stephen Colbert – citing his particular taste in clothes – Tucci didn’t miss a beat when asked about it at the New York premiere.
“I’m horrible,” he said with a smile. “Just terrible.”
Case closed.
Even when a young interviewer suggested that being a diva might actually mean confidence, Tucci leaned in: “Yeah, I think you’re right.” It’s not exactly a denial.
The sequel reunites Tucci with Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt, bringing back the sharp world of fashion, only this time with higher stakes and even sharper wit.
Off screen, the cast dynamic seems just as entertaining. Tucci couldn’t resist making fun of Hathaway. The most beautiful in the world according to People magazine cover either one, joking: “It’s not that bad. She’s pretty pretty.”
Hathaway, for her part, is still taking it all in: “It was such a fun day… I never, ever expected anything.”
“It’s still a little surreal… I’m still trying to figure it out, and I just hope people make fun of me for it!”
And yes, going back to The devil wears Prada This time it hit differently: “It was a chance to be with the same people again… but with a little more perspective.”
So who is the real diva here? According to Tucci… there is no debate.
