Actor Meryl Streep revealed that she personally reached out to singer-actor Lady Gaga to appear in The Devil Wears Prada 2, sharing that a direct phone call helped bring the collaboration together, according to People. During an appearance on Heart Breakfast, Streep, 76, spoke about how Gaga, 40, came on board for the sequel. 

"That was me. Thank you. You're welcome," she said, responding to co-star Emily Blunt's surprise. "I called her from Islington because I was out to dinner with Tracy. And I thought, I might as well try her." In the movie, Gaga plays a pop star who gives a performance in Milan "I just said, 'Would you do this? Because it's going to be really good.' And she said, 'Yeah!'" Streep added.
