To Anne Hathaway’s delight: Rachel McAdams has turned down the role in The Devil Wears Prada three times.

The role of Andrea Sachs, which brought Anne Hathaway immense popularity, could have gone to another actress. As it became known, Rachel McAdams three times rejected the offer to play in the cult film “The Devil Wears Prada”.

Screenwriters and producers of the movie initially saw McAdams in the lead role, but she steadfastly refused to participate in the project. The reasons for McAdams’ refusal have not been fully disclosed, but perhaps she was not interested in starring in such a genre again after the success of “The Memory Diary” and “The Damned Way.”
