TheDevil Wears Prada introduced fans to Anne Hathaway's on-screen boyfriend, Nate, played by Adrian Grenier, who has since become a red flag among fans. With the sequel installment ready to hit theaters, director David Frankel reveals why the character ended up not making it into the film.
Grenier's return as Nate has been addressed since The Devil Wears Prada 2 was announced, with Entertainment Weekly having reported the actor would not return to his original role. Since then, the actor had commented that he was "disappointed" about being left out, and admits his character has since become controversial.
Is there more to the story? Frankel revealed in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly that they had thought to bring back Grenier in a cameo role, but it simply didn't work. He added that the movie's filming schedule added some difficulties as it was still in production a month before its release date.
"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 explained.
When asked what the cameo would have been about, Frankel added, "No, I probably shouldn’t say. But, I think I’m thrilled that he did a Starbucks commercial, which was really funny and so self-effacing."

The Starbucks commercial being referenced was released in early April, with Grenier making fun of his original character and addressing his absence from the sequel. In the ad, he jokingly says that he is "good. Really" about not returning. He also poked fun at Nate becoming an infamous relationship red flag, with him commenting, "Okay, so, he wasn't perfect. So, let's leave Nate in 2006 and keep this good energy going!"
Many Devil Wears Prada fans felt that Nate was unsupportive of Andy's newfound career in fashion and judged her lifestyle choices to appease Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). In the film, they break up because of it, with the finale teasing that they might have reconciled after Andy leaves the fashion industry.
Based on the trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2, Nate is a romance of the past as Andy returns to help Miranda and has a new love interest played by Patrick Brammall.
