The Devil Wears Prada 2 is already raking in some serious box office numbers, grossing US$233 million worldwide in its opening weekend. The highly anticipated sequel sees Sachs (Anne Hathaway) reuniting with her former boss, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), rival Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), and Priestly’s loyal right-hand man Nigel Kipling (Stanley Tucci), 20 years after the events of the first film.

Fans of the original film may remember that Andy and her then-boyfriend Nate (played by Adrian Grenier) had a rocky relationship, not helped by her stressful job as an assistant to the demanding Priestly. Grenier did not return for the sequel and spoiler alert: Andy, in true romcom fashion, finds a new love interest in luxury developer Peter, played by Australian actor Patrick Brammall.

Here is everything you need to know about the actor playing Andy’s new beau.

Patrick Brammall is best known for a hit Aussie TV series

Brammall has been in the industry for some time now. He started his career with the TV movie The Alice in 2004, followed by its spin-off series. Later, he gained widespread recognition for his roles in various Australian TV series and films, including playing Gordon in the comedy series Colin From Accounts, Sergeant James Hayes in Glitch, Leo Taylor in Offspring, and Andy Bouchard in the American supernatural drama series, Evil. He will also star in the upcoming Apple TV series, The Dispatcher.

He almost turned down the role of Peter

In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Brammall explained that he didn’t think he would get the role in such a major blockbuster film – and almost didn’t even audition for it.

“It wasn’t self-doubt so much, it was pragmatics,” he explained. “When they asked me to audition – I’m 50, I’ve been around the block, I’ve been working as an actor for many, many years, and I’ve put down a lot of auditions for a lot of big things going, ‘Oh, this could be it.’
