This time was no different as the stars were put together for the Variety 'Actors on Actors' issue and the result was a trip down memory lane with a few laughs mixed in.
As the two got to chatting they realised it had been almost two decades since they first met on the set of The Devil Wears Prada.
"You are one of the people I’ve known longest. We’ve known each other for 18 years," Emily told Anne to which she replied, "What? Our relationship is the age of an adult."
Emily then joked: "That’s drinking age in England," as Anne quipped, "We are so drunk in England right now."
The two then began to reflect on their first encounter or rather Anne did as her former co-star admitted that her memory wasn't her strong suit.
"This is so embarrassing because I remember every second of the first time I met you,' the American actress said before joking, "I’m so much more into you than you are into me. It’s fine. It’s fine."
She continued: "I was hearing that your name came up, and they said, 'It’s this amazing girl out of England and she’s so funny.' And I remember walking into the room and turning and meeting you. In my head — instant thought — I was like, 'What a movie star!'
"You were shedding stardust. Then we went for coffee. I took you for a walk around where I live [in New York]"
Emily responded: "I was so green coming into that situation. And you were like the warmest embrace. Even though you were a colossal movie star at that time, you treated me like a complete equal."
The two then recalled acting with Meryl Strep noting that she never broke character.
"You know, I think [Meryl] always wanted to join in on the fun with us. She kept herself so in character," Anne said.
Emily then questioned: "Do you know she’s never done Method acting since?"
Ugh, this just makes us want a sequel even more.
