In response, Anne Hathaway said:

“I was just having one of those like, runs where I couldn't miss it. I just knew — and I was like surprising myself. I mean, apparently, I do. And then I got to this one question and they were like, ‘Oh, okay, so junior executive assessment Devil Wears Prada?’ I was like ‘Emily Blunt.’ And they were like ‘No…’”

She continued and stated how she was “genuinely confused”:

“It wasn't her, it was me… I was genuinely confused because I was like, ‘But it’s her.’”
