You run the gamut,” Navarro said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The View<\/em><\/a> cohosts have put Stanley Tucci<\/a>‘s feet to the fire when it comes to his status as a sex symbol.<\/p>\n The star of The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em><\/a> appeared on the daytime talk show on Friday to promote his return in the long-awaited Devil Wears Prada <\/em>sequel, which also stars original cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Tucci’s sister-in-law Emily Blunt (Tucci married Emily’s sister Felicity in 2012).<\/p>\n “You’ve kind of become like a bona fide sex symbol,” cohost Ana Navarro<\/a> told Tucci, which he paused to process.<\/p>\n “How are you feeling about Stanley Tucci, the sex symbol?” Navarro asked, as Tucci nervously looked around and comically fumbled over his words.<\/p>\n “Well, yeah, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m… look, who wouldn’t be thrilled?” Tucci told Navarro, who jumped in with yet another observation about the actor’s allure.<\/p>\n “By the way, it\u2019s the weirdest thing, I was at the Devil Wears Prada <\/em>premiere, and you\u2019re a sex symbol to gay men, to straight women. You run the gamut,” Navarro said.<\/p>\n “Can you tell my wife this?” Tucci quipped, as the studio audience laughed and applauded.<\/p>\n Navarro isn’t the only person to comment on Tucci’s sexuality in recent weeks. Streep praised Tucci’s appeal<\/a> at the actor’s Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony late last month.<\/p>\n Stanley Tucci on ‘The View’ “Stanley has an elegance to his heterosexuality. His\u00a0undeniable<\/em>\u00a0heterosexuality, which is formidable,” she said.<\/p>\n Tucci has become known for playing queer-leaning roles, including in The Devil Wears Prada<\/em> and its sequel, as well as in Cher’s 2010 musical drama Burlesque<\/em>.<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>EW Dispatch newsletter<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n “Not that heterosexuality is better than any other kind of sexuality,” Streep continued. “It’s just that elegance \u2014 real, unforced, natural, unstyled elegance \u2014 is sometimes harder for straight men.”<\/p>\n
