\n

\n\tAfter 20 years, the supposed real-life inspiration behind Emily Blunt\u2018s The Devil Wears Prada<\/em> character has come forward.<\/p>\n

\n\tLeslie Fremar, a former Vogue<\/em> assistant, recently claimed that the character of Emily Charlton was based on her, recalling when she met the actress behind the character in the 2006 movie.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked if she thinks Emily is based on her, Fremar said Vogue<\/em>\u2018s The Run-Through<\/em> podcast, \u201cI know I am. Yes. Correct.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI have met Emily Blunt,\u201d she noted. \u201cI was always like, \u2018If I meet Emily Blunt, what would I do?\u2019 So one day I was getting a massage at the Greenwich Hotel and she was actually at the spa herself, and I wanted to say something and I didn\u2019t. So I let that moment pass me and then a client of mine invited me over for dinner to her house and there was like seven people there and Emily was there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFremar continued, \u201cI was like, \u2018This is so intimate and personal and we\u2019re at a mutual friend\u2019s house.\u2019 So I said to her, I was like, \u2018I just need to let you know I\u2019m Emily.\u2019 She was not that interested, to be honest. I was like, \u2018I thought I was gonna get this like huge reaction.\u2019 No, it was like, \u2018Oh, okay.’\u201d<\/p>\n
