Anne Hathaway sets the record straight after the Internet became a behind-the-scenes moment of The devil wears Prada 2 in a real 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 this as: 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 with a quick observation on set after noticing that most of the cast models fit the traditional runway mold.
“I thought the scene would be a lot more enjoyable for the audience if we just had a larger number of bodies on display,” Hathaway said. “Because all shapes are beautiful.”
Simple. Logic. Very Andy Sachs with a spine.
Hathaway added that the producers immediately agreed once she brought it up. “They were the ones who made it happen in about an hour.”
And apparently there’s another major detail that fans are now obsessed with: 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 nice to see so many different body types up there with this?”
Honestly? Miranda Priestly would probably judge everyone the same way.
But this time around, the podium makes room for more than one body type — and Hathaway seems pretty proud of it.
