Heidi Klum loves her Devil Wears Prada 2 role, but why?

Heidi Klum stars alongside Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Heidi Klum feels thrilled by her cameo in The Devil Wears Prada 2.

The 52-year-old model has a small part in The Devil Wears Prada 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 2006 original film, and Heidi is delighted that her part survived the final edit.

Heidi – who stars in a scene alongside Emily Blunt – told People: “I was in the first Devil Wears Prada movie … I mean, literally just the smallest little cameo. I was asked to come back again for The Devil Wears Prada 2 [and I] was so excited because they didn’t cut me out.

“Sometimes you do these things and then you go and watch this and you’re like, ‘Where the heck am I? I wasn’t even in it.’ So I was super excited that I made the cut, even though it’s super short, I have my scene with Emily Blunt.”

Heidi, a former Victoria’s Secret Angel, feels fortunate that she’s appeared in so many high-profile films and TV shows over the years.

She said: “Over the years, I’ve been so lucky that I got to be in some of the most iconic TV shows or movies where I had small cameos.

“I was kind of going down memory lane … I mean, I did Desperate Housewives with Eva Longoria, I did Spin City with Michael J. Fox — [that was] six episodes — I did How I Met Your Mother, Sex and the City walking over Sarah Jessica Parker, Oceans Eight with Sandra Bullock … I was so lucky that I got to be in some of the most iconic TV shows and movies over the years.”

Heidi admits that she’s “not an actress” – but she relishes the challenge of leaving her comfort zone.

The model describes herself as a “curious” person and she’s willing to give anything “a shot”.

She said: “I think it’s always important for anyone to be curious, to have goals, interests, and it’s always been like that for me.

“I always dabbled into different things because of the interests that I’ve had and also doing things that are not on my bingo card, let’s say, or that are not something that I’ve learned to do like modelling.

“I’m not an actress, but I got to dabble into so many different fun things. And it’s because I’m curious and I want to just give it a shot. And I’m always like, ‘Why not?'”
