“I can’t believe they’re doing that,” Caleb amusingly reflected, “I’m like, what are y’all thinking?”
“My scenes are done. I watched the original Devil Wears Prada as like a closeted gay kid in Missouri when I was like 11 years old, and it meant so much to me,” he went on to explain.
“Conrad Ricamora, very, very talented actor. He’s in the movie and he was saying Devil Wears Prada is like the Book of Genesis to gay people…so yeah, being a part of the new one is just crazy cool. And all those people who worked on the original, a lot of them are back. They’re all just the most generous, lovely people. So it was a really cool one to do.”
Kylie then asked about the stars on the set, and whether Caleb felt starstruck.
“Oh, acting in front of Meryl Streep? Would anyone like to just kill me instead?” he joked.
“I was so cognizant of my performance and abilities in a way that I’m not normally.”
“I know what I’m doing. I was hired for a reason. And especially when it’s comedy, there’s no one that could tell me anything about a comedic performance that would make me feel anything other than like, either that was constructive or they’re crazy. No one could make me feel like I don’t at least have a take. But acting in front of such legends, Anne Hathaway too, I mean…it really is crazy.”
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to hit theaters next year. Find out who is joining the cast, and who is returning from the original!
