Anne Hathaway debunks claims about firing models from ‘TDWP2’ set

Anne Hathaway has shut down rumours surrounding The Devil Wears Prada 2 models.

Hathaway, who is reprising her iconic role of journalist Andy Sachs alongside Meryl Streep as ruthless Runway magazine editor Miranda Priestly, decided to make more room on the runway for models of varying body types.

In her appearance at the Good Morning America, the host Lara Spencer asked the Princess Dairies star about her decision.

“Actually, I do want to mention, there's a little misinformation getting out there right now that people were fired because of the size inclusivity," Hathaway said.

The Odyssey actress added, “That just didn't happen, nobody lost their jobs. In fact, it created more jobs."

The mother of two said that the move "was about making sure that so many different body types saw themselves in a moment in the script."

Previously, when the cast attended Milan Fashion Week, Streep told the Harper Bazaar that she was struck by the beauty and youth of the young models but also by how "alarmingly thin" they were.

Hathaway noticed too, Streep said, "and she made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal! She's a stand-up girl.”

In addition to Hathaway and Streep, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt are also reprising their roles.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is releasing on March 1.
