"He loves this one," she said, adding, "He's a massive fan of the first movie, so I think everyone was thrilled."

Krasinski's fondness for The Devil Wears Prada is well-known public knowledge. In an earlier interview with E! News, Blunt spoke about his detailed knowledge of the film, particularly its fashion.

"I'm touched and honoured," she said at the time, adding, "He knows every single one of Anne Hathaway's outfits down pat."

Recalling an early moment in their relationship, Blunt added, "I remember it came on one time when we first started dating and he was watching the montage where she has all the different amazing outfits. When he was watching, he goes, 'And that's my favourite outfit.' I was like, 'Get a grip.'"

Karsinski had also later admitted that he had watched the film multiple times. "There was one day when it was on and I said it was so good and Emily said, 'Have you seen this movie?' I said, 'A lot of times.' She said, 'That's so sweet, but how many times?'" he recalled.

"Luckily, we had been dating for about a year, so there was a lot of trust built up and I said, 'Like 75,'" he added.

The actor also shared a humorous anecdote from the early days of their relationship.

"We had just started dating and she had come over to my house. She popped by in between things and I was watching it," he said, adding, "She opened the door and I flipped the channel and she looked at me like, 'Were you just watching porn?' ... I think it was better for me at the time for her to think I was watching porn than watching The Devil Wears Prada for the seventy-fifth time."

Emily Blunt returns in the sequel, along with the original lead cast, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Stanley Tucci. The Devil Wears Prada 2 will release in cinemas on May 1.
