Meryl Streep has revealed that she nearly turned down The Devil Wears Prada and said she “doubled” her salary ask before agreeing to do one of the most defining roles of her career a decade ago.
Streep said she “knew it was going to be a hit” as soon as she read the script. “I thought, it’s a great script. And they called me up and made an offer and I said, ‘No, I'm not gonna do it’,” she told host Jenna Bush Hager, who has a cameo in the film, on the Today show.
