 Adrian Grenier
Interview By: Rick Mele
It seems like you can’t go anywhere in New York these days without seeing Adrian Grenier. With the third season of the hit show Entourage already underway, and his new movie The Devil Wears Prada due out at the end of June, Grenier’s face can be found plastered on the side of buses and billboards all over the city. He sat down to talk with us about his new movie and his new philosophy. A New York native himself, Grenier is no stranger to life in the city, and thinks that his experiences here helped him in his role as Nate, Anne Hathaway’s love interest in The Devil Wears Prada: “I did have that sort of undercutting banter from my having grown up in New York, which I think is one thing that brings all of the cast together so nicely is that we all come from New York. We all understand that sort of insensitive tough love that is, to somebody in Minnesota, maybe an insult, you know, to us, it’s ‘I love you.’” The Devil Wears Prada was hardly Adrian’s first time filming something in the city; he’s shot A Perfect Fit, Love in the Time of Money, and a couple of smaller roles in Woody Allen movies here as well, but it’s certainly the first time he’s come back to New York and been this recognizable. “It hasn’t gotten too crazy. I mean, maybe I just haven’t really been around enough because I’ve been working so much that I don’t really notice. But I do get stopped a lot more than I did a year ago, just increasingly more and more as viewership increases. And we’ve done really well the past couple weekends, the first couple episodes of the third season, so I imagine as the popularity of the show grows, it will definitely become more frequent.” In spite of all this newfound attention, Grenier still prefers shooting on location in New York rather than the comforts of a sound stage, “You ask any actor, I’m sure they’ll tell you they’d rather shoot on location because you don’t have to invent the energy, the energy is there. Although it does have its difficulties, you know. It’s not a controlled environment so anything’s kind of up for grabs.” “When we were shooting that scene in The Devil Wears Prada where Andy and Nate have an argument about going to Paris, we were actually shooting in the West Village and it was Halloween. So you had your own little fashion show going on with ghosts and goblins, and all sorts of Smurfs running around and [laughs] making noise. We were trying to be serious, and everyone else was having a big party. So it does have its challenges, but I would take those challenges over the challenges of trying to recreate energy any day.” The same goes for filming Entourage, which is shot almost exclusively on location in Los Angeles. Grenier says, “We shoot on ... |
