‘My Career Has Always Gone…’: Stanley Tucci Opens Up On Facing Downfall After Playing Nigel In The Devil Wears Prada

As a lifestyle expert reflecting upon the career journey of Stanley Tucci, I am deeply moved by his resilience and unwavering spirit in the face of adversity. His tale is a testament to the ebbs and flows that often characterize the lives of many artists in Hollywood.


Despite the success of “The Devil Wears Prada” in 2006, where Stanley Tucci played Nigel, the actor found it challenging to secure roles in Hollywood following the film’s release. In an interview with Vanity Fair, he admitted that he struggled for a while to comprehend why he couldn’t find work and ended up taking on projects that didn’t fully align with his preferences.

In my conversation with the entertainment outlet, I shared my experience of finding myself without work following the start of the Meryl Streep film. I clarified that my career has had its ups and downs, and at times, it’s simply a matter of the industry’s ebb and flow.

He mentioned, “At times, there might have been personal circumstances preventing you from working. For instance, being ill about six years back temporarily affected things, and since then, it seems like you’ve gradually recovered.

He continued to reveal to the outlet, “But I had to start doing things. I needed to work because I needed money. I probably started working too soon. I didn’t really have the energy to do it after the treatments, but you had to do it, and eventually you climb back up again.”

2017 saw the Hunger Games actor being diagnosed with oral cancer, an event that influenced his professional life as well. This actor is married to Felicity Blunt, the sister of his co-star from The Devil Wears Prada, Emily Blunt. Remarkably, Tucci shared that it was his wife’s persistence in urging him to seek medication and treatment that ultimately saved his life.

During a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Tucci hinted at the possibility of a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada and whether he might reprise his role. However, the actor remained coy, saying, “I’m afraid I can’t reveal that. Nobody is allowing me to disclose that information.

Besides Meryl Streep, Stanley shared screen time with a stellar ensemble featuring Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway, Simon Baker, Adrian Grenier, and Tracie Thomas, among others. You can watch this film on Apple TV+ streaming service.
