Aussie star lands big role in The Devil Wears Prada 2: report
A popular Aussie star has reportedly joined the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada in a very significant role. Patrick Brammall, 49, best known as Gordon in Colin From Accounts, is set to play the love interest for Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs. Entertainment Weekly broke the news earlier this week after previously reporting that Andy's boyfriend from the 2006 original, Nate (Adrien Grenier), would not be in the long-awaited sequel. Brammall is yet to confirm the news. In the almost 20 years since The Devil Wears Prada was released, Nate has become an increasingly controversial character, with many agreeing his attitude toward Andy's career made him the real villain of the story. Grenier has since addressed the backlash himself, telling EW he understood the negativity toward Nate. 'When that whole thing [about Nate being the 'real villain' of the film] first came out, I couldn't get my head around it. I didn't understand it. Perhaps it was because I wasn't mature as a man, just as Nate probably could've used a little growing up,' he said in June 2021. 'I was just as immature as him at the time, so I couldn't see his shortcomings, but, after taking time to reflect and much deliberation online, I can realise the truth in that perspective. Nate hadn't grown up, but Andy had … she needed more out of life, and she was achieving it. 'He couldn't support her like she needed because he was a fragile, wounded boy,' Grenier said of his controversial character. 'On behalf of all the Nates out there: Come on! Step it up.' In The Devil Wears Prada, Andy and Nate break up after repeatedly clashing over priorities as her career skyrockets, but later reconnect – seemingly as friends – when they meet up after she finally quits her job. Joining the cast along with Brammall is My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend 's Rachel Bloom, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux and B.J. Novak, although details of their roles have been kept quiet. Meanwhile, original stars Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci were previously confirmed to reprise their roles. According to Variety, the sequel 'follows Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.'

Surprising Aussie star set to play Anne Hathaway's love interest in Devil Wears Prada sequel - as filming gets underway in New York
He's the hunky star of the Aussie streaming hit Colin from Accounts. And now Patrick Brammall is heading to the US to appear alongside Hollywood beauty Anne Hathaway in the long-awaited sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. There's no official word on what role the 49-year-old Canberra-born actor will play in the romantic comedy, which reunites many of the cast of the 2006 hit. New Idea reported on Tuesday that, in a surprising casting move, Brammall is set to play the love interest of Hathaway's character. Currently shooting in New York, the sequel will see the 42-year-old star reprise her role as fashion scribe Andy Sachs. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. According to reports, Adrian Grenier, of Entourage fame, who appeared in the original Prada film as Andy's boyfriend, will not be returning. Meanwhile, Brammall confirmed his part in the new film with a celebratory post to his Instagram. The fan favourite shared a screengrab from industry blog Deadline announcing his exciting new gig which he signed with a cheeky caption that said: 'Girding my loins'. The sequel will reunite Hathaway with original star, Hollywood legend and Oscar winner Meryl Streep, who returns as her ruthless fashion guru character Miranda Priestly. Original cast members Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci will also reprise their roles, alongside new cast members Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet. Also joining the cast is American actress Rachel Bloom, from Stan's streaming hit Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. In the sequel, Blunt's character, Emily Charlton, has climbed the corporate ladder and now holds the power Miranda needs - setting the stage for a delicious clash of ambition, loyalty, and fashion politics. While plot details are still under wraps, sources suggest the film may draw inspiration from Lauren Weisberger's 2013 novel Revenge Wears Prada, which follows Andy's post-Runway life as she becomes a magazine editor, only to find Miranda crashing back into her world. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated to hit theatres on May 1, 2026, marking two decades since the original film strutted into pop culture history. It comes after Brammall and his partner Harriet Dyer welcomed a baby girl into the world in February. The happy couple, who also play on-screen love interests in their series Colin From Accounts, announced the news to Instagram. Sharing a reel of family images, the parents revealed their newborn's sweet name. 'Welcoming little Mabel. We love her so much and we're all very grateful. 2/2/2025,' Harriet, 36, wrote. Harriet and Patrick first became parents in September 2021 when they adopted Joni from her 'incredible birth mother'. The married couple, who tied the knot in 2021, co-created Colin From Accounts and the series has risen to global acclaim since its 2022 launch. The first series explored the lives of Ashley and Gordon, two complex individuals who are brought together following a fateful car accident and an injured dog. The pair launched a second successful series last year.
