Anne Hathaway has shown off her range as an actress in so many projects over the years.

She’s done it all, but The Devil Wears Prada is easily one of her most iconic roles to date. She ruled the screen in the comedy. However, you might be interested to learn that she wasn’t the first choice for the role!

In fact, while on RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2021, the actress said that she was the ninth choice to play the aspiring journalist who finds herself thrust into the fashion world alongside Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt.

We got curious and did some digging to see who else could have starred in the movie. While we weren’t able to find all eight of the stars who were considered before Anne, We did round up seven.

The list even includes one star who turned an offer down three times and later admitted to feeling “guilty” about the decision!
