Adrian Grenier had played Anne’s boyfriend named Nate in the first film 20 years earlier – and has since divided fans, with some labeling him as an unsupportive boyfriend over her journalism career.
The Entourage actor previously discussed his role in the first movie while talking to Entertainment Weekly in 2021.
‘I didn’t see some of the subtleties and the nuance of this character and what it represented in the film until the wisdom of the masses came online and started to push against the character and throw him under the bus, and I got flak.
‘All those memes that came out were shocking to me,’ he added, referencing to how fans had called Nate ‘the villain’ of the film.

Adrian continued, ‘It was all about him; he wasn’t extending himself to support Andy in her career.’
