'The Devil Wears Prada 2' stars revealed behind-the-scenes stories from 20 years ago. Emily Blunt became a topic of discussion after confessing that she was actually overwhelmed because Meryl Streep never left her character during the filming of the first movie.

'During a special interview on SiriusXM's 'Front Row' hosted by Andy Cohen, Blunt told Streep directly, "I was quite nervous during the filming of the first movie because you were completely in that Miranda zone." Streep readily admitted, "Yes, I was completely in that zone."

'Blunt explained, "I could have approached you and had a fun conversation, but I never heard that explosive laugh you're known for." This indicates that the famous cold and intimidating atmosphere of Miranda Priestly continued even off the set.

'"I could hear laughter from the makeup trailer, but I was alone in my trailer"

'Streep explained the secret to her method acting: "For the first three days, I wandered around the camera before filming began. It was about maintaining a certain distance, that sense of authority, and so on." She then added, "I could hear everyone happily laughing and chatting in the makeup trailer from afar, but I was alone in my own trailer," and laughed while revealing, "It's lonely at the top."

'Blunt also shared a recent conversation she had with director Greta Gerwig. Gerwig also expressed that directors must maintain a certain distance from actors on set. "Greta said the same thing. To feel like a boss, you need a certain barrier. That's why actors don't want you at the cast party," she said. This was in the context of a common struggle faced by anyone in a position of authority.

'When this interview was released, reader comments also became heated. Praise poured in, such as, "That's why Streep is a great actress. She becomes the character," and reactions like, "She scared me in 'Out of Africa' as well." On the other hand, there were critical views, such as, "She's just an actor; why does she need to go that far?"

'This interview, which also featured Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, was released ahead of the opening of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'. The sequel depicts a rematch between Miranda Priestly, who struggles to survive amidst the decline of magazine media, and Emily, who has grown into an executive at a luxury brand. The film will be released in Korea on April 29.
