Patrick Brammall Turned Down The Devil Wears Prada 2. Then He Got A Call

You might know Patrick Brammall from Offspring, No Activity, the global hit Colin from Accounts, and as the voice of Uncle Rad on Bluey.

Now, Patrick stars opposite Anne Hathaway in the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, a film with a global audience, a cultural legacy, and a level of attention he hasn’t experienced before.

And to think he originally turned it down.

In this conversation, recorded the day before the film’s release, Patrick talks to Kate Langbroek about the long road that got him here. From a childhood shaped by serious health challenges, to the uncertainty of an acting career, to finding his voice as a writer and creator.

He opens up about building a life and a family with Harriet Dyer, becoming a father, and how that’s changed the way he thinks about success, ambition, and the opportunities he chooses. He also shares what it was like stepping into a franchise like The Devil Wears Prada, including the surprise of having a steamy scene cut from the final film.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is in cinemas now.
