Meryl Streep is responsible for the Lady Gaga cameo in The Devil Wears Prada 2. Spoilers?
Streep and Gaga met at “SNL 50” last February and immediately hit it off. “They said, ‘Let’s work together sometime,’” director David Frankel tells Variety. Their collaboration manifested quite quickly, as a few months later, Frankel asked his leading lady for a favor. “I called Meryl, and I go, ‘Hey, how would you feel about reaching out to your new friend?'”
Streep happily obliged, got Gaga’s number from a mutual friend and made the call.
“I thought, I might as well try her,” Streep shared in a recent interview with Heart. “I just said, ‘Would you do this? Because it’s going to be really good.’ And she said, ‘Yeah!’ Just like that. She’s on her world tour, which lasted a year, playing to 75,000 people in a stadium and just flew off and did us.”
