Emily Blunt has revealed that Meryl Streep’s character in The Devil Wears Prada actually wasn’t based on Vogue boss Anna Wintour.<\/p>\n

It’s been 13 years since the hit movie was released, and over the years, fans had always believed that Meryl’s character Miranda Priestly\u00a0was inspired by US Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour.<\/p>\n

This was largely due to the fact that\u00a0the film was adapted from a book written by Laren Weisberger, who previously worked as Anna’s assistant.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an NPR Podcast, Emily Blunt, who played Miranda’s assistant in the film, said:\u00a0“Meryl didn’t actually base it on Anna Wintour – well, she told Anna that.”<\/p>\n

“She based it on two men in Hollywood that she knew – who will remain nameless, but I know who they are.”<\/p>\n

The film, which also starred Anne Hathaway as the lead, was released in 2006, grossing more than $300 million worldwide.<\/p>\n
