Anne Hathaway talks about feeling the heat during filming of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'
Los Angeles, April 21
Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway has admitted to being under pressure while filming for 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'. The actress shared that she felt the weight of "pressure".
The Oscar-winning actress reprised the role of Andrea 'Andy' Sachs for the long-awaited film sequel, and while Anne was conscious of the outside pressure, she didn't allow it to bother her on set, reports 'Female First UK'.
The 43-year-old actress told E! News, "I'm kind of through that time in my life. I don't really want to focus on that part. I just kind of accept it. Of course, there's pressure, of course there's expectation, of course there's these things. But this is the team that did it the first time. I would have felt scared if I was with a different team".
Anne observed that the new movie also shines a light on "just how deeply and passionately people love fashion".
She added, "So many people have told me that they dreamed big for their lives because of these characters. It's been overwhelming to see that that is as true in New York City as it is in Seoul, South Korea, as it is in Shanghai. It's been overwhelming".
As per 'Female First UK', Anne previously shared that she considers acting to be an "unusual" job. The actress loves being able to "go back and forth" between big-budget Hollywood movies and independent films.
She told WWD, "It's such an unusual job that you sign up for, and I've never felt like I've, perhaps some people who only make billion-grossing movies can feel this way, but if you love independent cinema as much as I do, you're always grateful for the jobs that keep the lights on and being able to go back and forth between the two of them".
Anne said that she "didn't have any confidence" in her 20s.

Her point about the film's global impact is so true. I remember watching the first one in Mumbai and being inspired to pursue a career in media. It's more than just a fashion film.
Respectfully, I hope the sequel doesn't feel forced. Sometimes these long-awaited follow-ups can tarnish the original's legacy. The pressure she mentions is understandable. Fingers crossed it's good!
It's refreshing to hear a major star be so candid about lacking confidence in her 20s. That's a feeling so many young professionals, here in India and everywhere, can relate to. Growth is a journey.
The fashion angle she mentioned is key. My sister is a designer in Delhi and that movie is practically a textbook for her batch. It defined an era's style. Hope part 2 does the same!
Good on her for balancing big movies with indie projects. That's the sign of a true artist, not just a star. We need more of that mindset in Bollywood as well.
