Anne Hathaway is one tough cookie when it comes to the acting industry.

Hathaway, 38, who had to fight to land her part in the 2006 comedy-drama, The Devil Wears Prada, revealed during an appearance Friday on RuPaul's Drag Race that she was ninth in line for the role of Andy Sachs opposite Meryl Streep in the fashion film.

Contestant Rosé asked Hathaway if there were any roles she had to "fight tooth and nail for" to which she jokingly responded, "How much time do you have?" 

"I will give you some tea: I was the ninth choice for Devil Wears Prada," she revealed. "But I got it! Hang in there, never give up."
