00:00It was a disappointment that I didn't get the call to be in the sequel, but I also understand
00:06there was some backlash with Nate.
00:10Adrian Grenier dished at Page Six back in March that he was in fact not asked to return
00:15for The Devil Wears Prada 2.
00:17The entourage actor also poked fun at the casting's snub in a recent Starbucks ad.
00:22You might have seen the headlines.
00:24I wasn't asked to be part of a certain sequel, but I'm good, really.
00:28It's all good energy.
00:31Okay.
00:32No hard feelings here.
00:34However, director David Frankel did tell EW that he had a last-minute idea to briefly feature
00:39Adrian's unsupportive boyfriend character 20 years later, but they ran out of time and
00:45it was too late.
00:46The highly anticipated sequel starring Meryl, Anne, Stanley, and Emily is out May 1st, and
00:52we've got who's in, who's out, and the stories behind the celebrity cameos.
00:56First up, it's confirmed that Lady Gaga makes an appearance, and her song with Doji,
01:01Runway, is on the soundtrack.
01:03The scene was shot during Milan Fashion Week.
01:06They needed a pop star, so Meryl Streep was tasked with personally calling Gaga to get
01:10her to do it, and it worked.
01:12The two divas previously chummed it up at SNL 50 and at the Kennedy Center Honors back
01:17in 2014.
01:18Also making cameos in the Milan scene?
01:21Supermodel Naomi Campbell, Donatella Versace, and Anna Wintour, although the ex-Vogue editor
01:27will only appear as a gag reel bonus feature on streaming.
01:30Now let's talk about who's not in the movie.
01:33How to Get Away with Murder actor Conrad Ricomura was initially cast as Anne Hathaway's
01:38character's roommate, but he didn't survive test screenings.
01:41Aww.
01:42Despite casting rumors last year, Oscar winner Jessica Chastain actually never filmed a cameo.
01:47And here's the big one, Sidney Sweeney.
01:50An insider told EW that Sid didn't make the final cut, and it was confirmed by screenwriter
01:55Aline Brosh McKenna in an interview with Screen Rant.
01:58The roughly three-minute scene involved Emily Blunt's character dressing the Euphoria actress,
02:02who is playing herself, at Dior HQ in New York.
02:06Producers said it was a difficult, creative decision not to include her.
02:10The scene just felt out of place.
02:12And finally, fans of The Office will be excited to find out BJ Novak did not end up on the
02:17cutting
02:17room floor.
02:18He chatted with us at the Lincoln Center premiere about his villainous turn in The Devil Wears
02:23Prada 2.
02:23I play Jay, who is a corporate, I would say, problem, restructure for the whole runway enterprise.
02:38That'd be a great word, your word, not mine, but much better way to describe him.
02:42Why do you think there's so good and quiet characters like that?
02:45You know, I should ask somebody that.
02:47That's what they always call me in for.
02:50Huh.
02:50Now that you mention it.
02:52Why?
02:53I mean, I guess it's not for me to figure out.
02:56I just, I go where I'm needed.
