Christopher Nolan Became Meryl Streep From Devil Wears Prada Due To His Extreme Hatred For 1 Fashion Statement
Christopher Nolan is regarded as one of the most influential filmmakers in the industry whose complex storyline has managed to garner the attention of the audience. Infused with a metaphysical outlook, Nolan’s movies are said to feature mathematically inspired images and concepts, special effects, and unconventional narrative structures that only excite the viewers.
Nolan’s Oppenheimer became one of the highly successful and most talked about movies of 2023. Its clash with Greta Gerwig’s Barbie turned into the Barbenheimer phenomenon, which encouraged moviegoers to watch movies as a double feature. Emily Blunt, who starred in the movie, talks about Christopher Nolan’s ick with one fashion statement.
Emily Blunt reveals Christopher Nolan has a serious problem with UGGs
Actress Emily Blunt played the role of Kitty Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, opposite Cillian Murphy, who played the character of J. Robert Oppenheimer; creator of the atomic bomb. She appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and revealed the one ick Christopher Nolan feels towards UGGs. She said,
“He has such an issue with Ugg boots. It’s a serious problem. And I walked in wearing them one day, and it was like, ‘The Devil Wears Prada’. He literally was like…just stared at them. I was like, ‘Chris, come on.’ He goes, ‘Take those off.’”
Blunt, however, admitted that when Christopher Nolan channeled his Meryl Streep’s iconic character, Miranda Priestly moment on set, she did her own thing. She added,
“He hates them, so I gifted him some.”
In an interview with The Washington Post, Blunt said,
“It was like a scene from The Devil Wears Prada, Chris just looks down at your shoes and it’s like Meryl Streep is looking at your horrible fashion choice. I just thought, ‘I’ll never be seen dead in UGG boots around him again.”
She found the ugliest UGG slippers she could and gifted them to Nolan.
Christopher Nolan remembers Heath Ledger at the 2024 Golden Globes
Christopher Nolan, along with the cast of Oppenheimer, attended the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards and won all the major awards, including Best Director for Nolan.
While accepting his award for Best Director, Nolan said,
“The only time I’ve ever been on the stage before accepting one of these on behalf of our dear friend Heath Ledger. And that was complicated and challenging for me, and in the middle of speaking, Robert Downey Jr. caught my eye and gave me a look of love and support-the same look he’s giving me now, the same love and support he’s shown so many people in our community.”
Nolan continued,
“I thought it would be simpler accepting for myself, but as a director, I realized I can only accept this on behalf of people. As directors, we bring people together, and we try and get them to give their best.”
