Kate Hudson Reveals Regret Over Turning Down Iconic Film Role.

Hollywood star Kate Hudson has admitted that there is one role in her nearly 30-year acting career that she regrets turning down. The 45-year-old actress revealed during an appearance on Capital FM's Capital Breakfast that she was originally offered the role of Andrea Sachs in the 2006 blockbuster The Devil Wears Prada, but ultimately had to decline due to scheduling conflicts. The role later went to Anne Hathaway, who turned it into one of her most memorable performances.

Kate Hudson Reflects on Missing Out on an Iconic Role

Speaking candidly on the radio show, Hudson expressed her regret, calling her decision a "bad call." However, she explained that the timing simply did not work in her favor.

"It was a timing thing. It was one of those things where I couldn't do it, and I should've made it happen, and I didn't," she admitted. "That was one where, when I saw it, I was like, 'Ugh.'"

At the time, The Devil Wears Prada was in production from September to October 2005. Hudson was filming You, Me and Dupree, a comedy where she starred opposite Owen Wilson, which likely caused the scheduling conflict.

Despite her regret, Hudson acknowledged that things often happen for a reason. "It's funny. It’s waves of things that are happening, and people shooting at different times. It’s not like you don’t do them because you don’t want to do them. It’s like, 'Oh, you're doing something else,' and it just sucked, you know?"

Anne Hathaway’s Success in The Devil Wears Prada

Anne Hathaway ultimately landed the coveted role of Andrea "Andy" Sachs, a young aspiring journalist who lands a job as an assistant to the powerful and intimidating fashion editor Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep. The film became a massive commercial success, grossing over $326 million globally.

Meryl Streep’s performance was particularly lauded, earning her an Academy Award nomination and further cementing her status as one of Hollywood’s greatest actresses. The film remains a cult classic, especially among fashion and movie enthusiasts.

Upcoming The Devil Wears Prada Sequel in the Works

Hudson’s revelation comes at an interesting time, as Disney has recently confirmed that a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is in development—nearly two decades after the original film’s release.

The sequel is set to be written by Aline Brosh McKenna, who also adapted the original 2006 film from Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel. While no casting details have been officially confirmed, early reports suggest that Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt could reprise their roles as Miranda Priestly and Emily Charlton, respectively.
