Dwayne Johnson, known for his versatility in film and television, made a bold move by pitching himself to co-star Emily Blunt for a role in The Devil Wears Prada 2. According to an interview on Entertainment Weekly's Awardist podcast on November 19, Johnson revealed that he had pitched himself to Blunt while they were working together on The Smashing Machine. Blunt playfully responded, "He tried," leaving room for interpretation on the success of Johnson's self-pitch. Johnson's proposed character would be someone who is great at walking in heels, specifically size 15 heels, as he clarified during the conversation. Blunt's tongue-in-cheek comment suggests that Johnson's self-pitch may have been a lighthearted moment between the two actors. The exchange highlights the camaraderie and playful dynamic between Johnson and Blunt, who have worked together on several projects.

Industry insiders believe that Johnson's self-pitch could be a testament to his confidence in his acting abilities and his willingness to take on new challenges. "Dwayne Johnson is a true Hollywood A-lister, and his ability to pitch himself for a role is a testament to his confidence and charisma," said a source close to the production. "It's not every day that you see an actor of his caliber taking on a role in a fashion film, but he's always been one to push boundaries and take risks." The Devil Wears Prada 2 is currently in production, with a release date yet to be announced. Fans of the original film are eagerly awaiting the sequel, and Johnson's self-pitch has only added to the excitement surrounding the project.
