Devil Wears Prada reunion! Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt reveal how they first met 18 years ago on iconic movie and why Meryl Streep said she was ‘so miserable’ on set

Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt can't believe they've known each other for 18 years after first meeting on the set of Devil Wears Prada.

The Hollywood actresses reunited for the Actors in Variety's Actors Issue and realized it had been nearly two decades since they lit up the screen playing arch-nemesis assistants Andrea and Emily, respectively, in the iconic 2006 comedy that catapulted them to megastardom.

'You're one of the people I've known the longest. We've known each other for eighteen years,” Blunt told Hathaway incredulously, to which she replied, “What? Our relationship is the age of an adult.”

Blunt hilariously added, “That's the drinking age in England,” as Hathaway joked, “We're so drunk in England right now.”

The stars then took a walk down memory lane to reveal the details of their very first interaction before the cameras rolled on the $325 million blockbuster.

Hathaway and Blunt played nemesis sidekicks Andrea and Emily, respectively, in the iconic comedy that catapulted them to megastardom.

“Did we meet before the table reading?” Blunt asked, hilariously noting that her memory isn't her greatest asset.

“This is so embarrassing because I remember every second of the first time I met you,” Hathaway replied, before joking, “I love you so much more than you love me.” It is well. It is well.'

She continued: 'I heard your name came up and they said, “She's a great girl from England and she's so funny.” And I remember walking into the room and turning around and running into you. In my head – immediate thought – I thought, “What a movie star!”

“You were emitting stardust.” Hathaway continued. 'Afterwards we went for coffee. I took you for a walk around where I live [in New York]'

Blunt replied, “I was so green when I got into that situation. And you were like the warmest hug. Even though you were a huge movie star at the time, you treated me as a complete equal.”

The British beauty, 40, went on to say that the pair had a “joy bomb” making the film, although neither actress could have foreseen it becoming a huge part of pop culture.

“It's quoted to me every week,” Blunt added. “It will be the movie that changed my life.”

The David Frankel-directed film was based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel of the same name and centers on the character Andy Sachs (played by Hathaway), a recent college graduate who wants to become a journalist.

“This is so embarrassing because I remember every second of the first time I met you,” Hathaway replied, before joking, “I love you so much more than you love me.” It is well. It is well'

She gets a job as an assistant to the powerful Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep), the editor-in-chief of the prestigious fashion magazine Runway, who also employs the aloof chief assistant Emily Charlton (Blunt).

During their reunion for Variety, Hathaway and Blunt had fun reciting iconic quotes from the film and revealed that Streep and Stanley Tucci (who played art director Nigel Kipling) often improvised their lines.

They also enjoyed the fun they had on set, which they said was often lost on Streep as she stayed in character as the demanding boss.

“You know, I guess [Meryl] always wanted to join in the fun with us. She stayed so in character,” Hathaway said.

“You know she's never done Method acting since?” Blunt joined in.

“She said this made her feel so miserable because we were all having a party on the other side of the set. And she said, 'I won't do this again.'”

The actresses also appeared in the scene where Hathaway's character complains about her boss to her boyfriend (played by Adrian Grenier).

“Fun fact: I'm wearing my cousin's headband in that scene,” Hathaway revealed.

“You know what I loved about that headband? Your little bangs would stick out. It was just so cute. It was just so nerdy. And I really wanted that grilled cheese,” Blunt replied.
