Why Adrian Grenier Is Swapping Fashion For Farming Instead Of Prada 2

As Disney officially moves forward with a sequel to the 2006 classic "The Devil Wears Prada," fans are noticing a major absence from the rumored casting discussions. Adrian Grenier, who played Andy Sachs’ chef boyfriend Nate, has largely stepped away from the Hollywood limelight, choosing a life of sustainability over the red carpet.

In 2016, the "Entourage" star began a transition away from Los Angeles, eventually settling on a 46-acre ranch in Texas with his wife, Jordan Roemmele. Grenier has since become deeply involved in environmental advocacy and regenerative farming, previously telling reporters that his move was motivated by a desire to "be in service" to the land rather than chasing the next big role.

While original stars Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Meryl Streep are reportedly in talks to return for the follow-up, Grenier’s shift in priorities makes a comeback unlikely. The sequel's plot is expected to focus on Miranda Priestly navigating the decline of traditional magazine publishing, a world quite literally miles apart from Grenier’s current life as a farmer.

Industry watchers are curious to see if the script will address Nate's absence or if the character will be written out entirely to reflect Andy’s career evolution. For now, Grenier seems content leaving the fashion world behind for the quiet of the Hill Country. This report is based on coverage by People.com.
