Supermodel Gisele Bündchen Reveals Why She Considered Turning Down ‘The Devil Wears Prada’

FYI, the supermodel played a Runway Magazine employee named Serena, who also happened to be friends with Blunt’s character. You may recall that scene where Serena and Emily are discussing Andrea’s (Hathaway) poor performance as Miranda Priestly’s assistant. Then enters Andrea, wearing a completely new wardrobe. The scene ends with their mouths agape.

Bündchen said that playing a model didn't interest her—she wanted to play a Runway employee. "I’m not gonna play a model, I do that every day; that’s already a role I play,” she said. As for what her experience was like? “I am not an actress, I’ve never had an acting class," she recalled. “It was Meryl Streep, [whom] I think is the best actress of all time. It was Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway, all of them, incredible.” Intimidating indeed.
