Director Explains Adrian Greniers Sequel Snub

The director of The Devil Wears Prada 2 has revealed why viewers won't be seeing Andy Sachs' unpopular boyfriend in the long-awaited sequel.

Adrian Grenier famously played Nate Cooper, Sachs' boyfriend whose relationship with her crumbled under the pressure of her demanding job. 

While Sachs has a new love interest in the sequel, viewers wondering what may have come of her relationship with Cooper were left disappointed

Now filmmaker David Frankel has revealed why they were unable to accommodate Cooper into the story. 

Frankel, 67, told Entertainment Weekly he considered including Grenier, 49, in a cameo but was prevented due to time constraints. 

'I had an idea about sneaking him into a cameo, and, in the end, it was just too late in our production schedule to make it happen,' he told the publication.

Frankel said there simply 'wasn’t time' to include Cooper into the story. 

Frankel was unable to reveal what Cooper would have done in the cameo but praised Grenier's appearance in a Starbucks commercial which poked fun at the snubbing. 

'I think I’m thrilled that he did a Starbucks commercial, which was really funny and so self-effacing,' he told the outlet. 'I love the humility and the comedy of it!'
