George Clooney’s Lake Como Villa Appears in The Devil Wears Prada 2 Trailer

George Clooney was surprised to learn that his Lake Como home appears in the upcoming film The Devil Wears Prada 2.

In a trailer released ahead of the movie’s May 1 premiere, a scene shows actors Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt riding a speedboat across Lake Como. In the background, viewers can spot Clooney’s villa, known as Villa Oleandra.

Clooney said he did not know his home was included in the film until he was told during a red carpet event in New York. He reacted with humor, saying he was pleased by the unexpected appearance.

The actor also said the house is special to him because he enjoys spending time there. He noted his friendship with Emily Blunt and said he expects the film to be successful.

Villa Oleandra is a large historic property in the Italian town of Laglio. Clooney bought it in 2002, and it is now estimated to be worth about $100 million. The estate includes features such as a private pier, a swimming pool, and a tennis court.

The property has also played a role in Clooney’s personal life. He met his wife, Amal Clooney, near Lake Como. In addition, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski held their wedding at the villa in 2010, with Meryl Streep among the guests.

The sequel to The Devil Wears Prada brings renewed attention to the famous location, even before the film’s release.
