‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Director Tried ‘Sneaking’ Adrian Grenier in For a Cameo But it Was ‘Too Late in Our Production Schedule to Make it Happen’

David Frankel, the director of "The Devil Wears Prada 2," expressed a desire to include Adrian Grenier in a cameo role as Nate, the boyfriend of Andy Sachs, portrayed by Anne Hathaway in the original film. Frankel revealed this intention during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, where he mentioned that he attempted to "sneak" Grenier into the sequel. However, he ultimately concluded that it was "just too late in our production schedule to make it happen." The consideration for Grenier's cameo reflects the director's interest in incorporating familiar elements from the first film into the sequel. Despite this effort, fans of the character Nate will be disappointed, as the cameo did not materialize due to timing issues in the production process. The sequel is highly anticipated and features a cast that includes Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt. Adrian Grenier, known for his role in "Entourage," had previously expressed disappointment over not being able to return for the sequel. His absence from the film has been noted by fans and media alike, highlighting the significance of his character in the original narrative. The sequel is set to be released on May 1, further building anticipation among audiences eager to see the continuation of the story.
