The Devil Wears Prada was filmed in 2005 and, at the time, Hudson would have been shooting the 2006 film You, Me and Dupree, which follows a best man (Owen Wilson) who stays on as a houseguest with a newlywed couple (Hudson and Matt Dillon), much to their annoyance.
Kate Hudson has admitted that she most regrets turning down a role in the 2006 fashion movie The Devil Wears Prada.
The actor, who rose to fame for her roles in 2000’s Almost Famous and 2003’s How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, has revealed that she wishes she had accepted an offer to play the role of intern Andrea Sachs, which eventually went to Anne Hathaway.
The 2006 film follows an aspiring journalist Andy (Hathaway) who becomes an assistant to one of the city’s most ruthless magazine editors, Miranda Priestly (Streep), at the fictional Runway fashion magazine.
According to Frankel, Fox 2000 – the studio behind the 2006 film – had wanted McAdams to take on the lead role of Andy Sachs due to her success in The Notebook and Mean Girls.
