Eight years before Christopher Nolan hurtled Anne Hathaway into space alongside Matthew McConaughey, in this weekend’s Interstellar, the actress was starring opposite another Oscar winner, Meryl Streep, in The Devil Wears Prada.

Hathaway played a fresh-faced, frizzy-haired recent college grad who unexpectedly finds herself at a high-fashion magazine, assisting its icy editrix played by Meryl Streep. And in a new interview, Hathaway remembered what it was like embodying that kind of abusive professional relationship with the revered film star.

"When I met her she gave me a huge hug," Hathaway recalled recently on The Graham Norton Show. “[A]nd I’m like, ‘Oh my god, we are going to have the best time on this movie.’ And then she’s like, ‘Ah sweetie, that's the last time I'm nice to you.’”

“She then went into her trailer and came out the ice queen and that was really the last I saw of ‘Meryl’ for months, until we promoted the film,” Hathaway said.

The Oscar-nominated actress made it very clear that Streep was merely staying in character between the scenes of the movie, which was based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel.

“She’s the most amazing, warm person,” Hathaway said of Streep, before adding that she would be up for doing a sequel of the film.

“Wouldn't that be fun? I’d love to do that,” the Interstellar actress said, before adding a less hopeful side note: “But I don’t know if there is any plan for it.”
