Stanley Tucci Has No Defense Against Anne Hathaway's Diva Claims and His Response Is Perfect

The friendship between The Devil Wears Prada actors is quite well-known. The friendships formed on the first film are returning for the long-awaited follow-up. The sequel is scheduled for release next month, and the excitement is at an all-time high.

Actress Anne Hathaway recently made a hilarious confession after she named her co-star Stanley Tucci as the biggest "diva" on the set of their new sequel. Hathaway made the remarks during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. The Oscar-winning actress named Tucci when host Colbert asked her to name the most demanding personality among the returning cast.

According to People, Stanley Tucci has responded playfully to Anne Hathaway's comments about him being a "diva" on set and that he is "so fussy about his clothes."

Much to everyone's surprise, Tucci endorsed Anne's comment on the red carpet during the New York City premiere of the fashion film, as per People. He said, "No question." He then playfully remarked, "I'm awful, just terrible."

People reporters clarified the term for Tucci's confusion regarding the term "diva" and informed him that it's a "good thing … means being confident." He agreed to their explanation and then said, "Yeah, I think you are right".

The Devil Wears Prada 2, according to Variety, centers on Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, as “she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt’s character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.”

When Colbert questioned Anne if Tucci had cooked something for her, a nod to her widely celebrated love of food and cooking, Hathaway jokingly trolled the actor and said, "That b---- has not made me a morsel."

She pointed out that despite his great skills in Italian cooking, the actor has not made a meal for her throughout their long professional relationship. She said, "I have dropped so many hints that I would love to know. He’ll tell me [about a dish], but I have not yet received a crumb."

During her guest appearance on Fandango’s Big Ticket Podcast on March 12, Hathaway shared her surprise over the progress of the project. She acknowledged that initially, the team did not believe that they would work on a sequel two decades after the original film's release.

Stanley also echoed the same sentiments as Anne during the podcast. He mentioned that throughout his 45-year career, he had never seen a reunion like this. The movie will show the return of the original cast members.

In another part of the conversation, the actress expressed her excitement about reuniting with Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Tucci for the long-anticipated sequel, which comes two decades after the first film.

“I just felt like I got to be in this, like, supergroup 20 years ago and we got back together to make another album,” she shared.
