So big fan, this film is just, I just love it beyond. I watched it more than 200 times, and I'm just the hugest fan”.
He further mentioned, “And I've been like, which is what I want to start saying. I've been channeling Miranda Priestly. In many of my boardrooms, I run a studio. Should I be worried about myself? Or should you be flattered? I just want to start with that. I've said, ‘That's all’ to almost every person who's worked with me in my team, on set, everything”.
When Anne Hathaway asked him, “But do you judge their shoes?”. KJo quipped, “All the time. Each and every time”, as three of them broke into a fit of laughter.
