Actors Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway appear together on tvN variety show You Quiz on the Block, opening up with candid stories about their films and their lives.
On the episode airing on the 15th, guests include Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway ahead of the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, former soccer star–turned–TV personality Ahn Jung-hwan, Professor Jeong Hyeon-chae who has lectured on thanatology for 20 years, and student Yoo Ha-jin, who chose a college of education over medical school to follow their dream. In particular, anticipation is running high as the two Hollywood leads reunite two decades after The Devil Wears Prada for its long-awaited sequel.
Filming took place on a set evoking editor-in-chief Miranda’s office from the movie. As soon as she walked in, Anne Hathaway cheerfully greeted Yoo Jae-suk, saying, "I saw you in a commercial yesterday," filling the studio with laughter.
The two also share how it feels to make the sequel. They note, "Most of the cast and crew returned, so it felt like meeting old friends again," underscoring what the project means after all these years. They go on to reveal details about the casting process and behind-the-scenes moments. Notably, it’s revealed that Anne Hathaway was only the ninth choice for Andy, and Meryl Streep also mentions an unexpected real-life reference she used to shape Miranda, piquing curiosity.
What really steals the spotlight is Meryl Streep’s raw confession. Despite hundreds of wins and nominations, she recalls a time she felt boxed in by the industry prejudice that "actresses are only attractive until 40," and she speaks honestly about that period. She will also unveil behind-the-scenes stories about the iconic scene in The Bridges of Madison County.
Anne Hathaway looks back on her own growth as an actor as well—how her mother inspired her to start acting, how her values shifted from her 20s to her 40s, and the deep love she holds for her family—sharing a heartfelt, sincere narrative.
The two global stars’ film scoops and life stories will be revealed during tonight’s 8:45 p.m. broadcast.
Meanwhile, The Devil Wears Prada 2 opens on the 29th.
