Director Reveals Surprising Reason Adrian Grenier Wasn't in 'Devil Wears Prada 2'

The director of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" revealed that Adrian Grenier was considered for a cameo, but it ultimately did not happen due to timing issues. The sequel is slated for release on May 1.

Missed Cameo Opportunity

David Frankel, who directed the original film and its upcoming sequel, wanted to include Grenier in a brief appearance. However, he stated that scheduling conflicts prevented this from happening as the production was near completion.

Grenier had hoped to reprise his role as Nate Cooper alongside the returning cast members. In an interview, he expressed understanding about not being asked back, mentioning audience backlash regarding his character might be a factor.

Grenier's Reaction and Humor

Despite his exclusion from the sequel, Grenier maintains no hard feelings and remains a fan of the movies. He hinted at potential future projects related to his character.

A recent Starbucks commercial humorously addressed his absence with Grenier playfully acknowledging he was left out but expressing good energy towards the situation. The ad continues with him poking fun at his character’s reputation as unsupportive in the original film.

Film Release

Frankel commented positively on Grenier's light-hearted approach in the commercial, appreciating both its humor and humility. "The Devil Wears Prada 2" is set to premiere in U.S. theaters soon.
