She was the driving force behind the campaign that allowed women to finally speak their own names. Her work doesn't just tell stories, it drives change.

Chapter 2: Why did Patrick Brammall initially turn down The Devil Wears Prada 2?

63.751 - 81.793 Patrick Brammall

Patrick Bramall is one of those actors Australians feel like they know. For more than two decades, he's been a familiar presence on our screens, building a career that's been steady, respected and quietly impressive. But in the last few years, something has shifted.

81.773 - 109.536 Patrick Brammall

Alongside his wife, actor and writer Harriet Dyer, he co-created and starred in Colin from Accounts, a show that started as a very specific, very Australian story and quickly became a global hit. Offscreen, their lives are just as intertwined. They write together, act together and are raising a young family. Patrick Bramall is on the cusp of something bigger again.

109.516 - 129.128 Patrick Brammall

He's just been introduced to a global audience in a very different way, starring as the new love interest opposite Anne Hathaway in the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, a film with a legacy, a fan base and a cultural footprint that's hard to overstate.

129.665 - 156.606 Patrick Brammall

This conversation was recorded the day before the film was released, before the reviews, before the reaction, before the moment where everything potentially changes. So today, we wanted to understand who Patrick Bramall really is, the road that got him here, the life he's built along the way, and what it feels like to be standing on the edge of something that could change everything.

157.928 - 162.862 Kate Langbroek

Who are you? Great question. And let me answer that question with another question. Who are you?

164.565 - 166.629 Patrick Brammall

I'm Kate Langbrook from No Filter.

Chapter 3: How did Patrick's childhood health challenges shape his career?

166.649 - 169.674 Kate Langbroek

Oh, shit. Same. Okay, you've checked, mate. You've called my bluff here.

0

169.694 - 170.436 Patrick Brammall

Well, I have.

0

170.456 - 172.479 Kate Langbroek

I'm Patrick Bramwell, but I'm also from No Filter.

0

172.499 - 177.188 Patrick Brammall

You are from No Filter. And not only that, you're now from the world.

0

177.353 - 177.974 Kate Langbroek

I am from the world as well.

177.994 - 179.297 Patrick Brammall

You were always from the world.

179.317 - 180.84 Kate Langbroek

Yeah, I was always very much from the world.

181.121 - 197.944 Patrick Brammall

But there's something about Australians, and I think when you work in a creative endeavour on any front, that we know that we are, depending on your world view, at the bottom of the globe. Yeah. Yep. And now you are not on the bottom of the globe.

Chapter 4: What impact has fatherhood had on Patrick Brammall's perspective on success?

197.964 - 199.868 Kate Langbroek

No, I'm creeping up the side of the globe.

0

199.988 - 200.95 Patrick Brammall

You really are.

0

200.97 - 221.047 Kate Langbroek

You don't realise how bottom of the globe you are until we travel. And all Australians need to travel. We do. Well, we do. It's a compulsion. You have to because the rest of the world's out there. I mean, I grew up in Canberra, right? And I grew up, this is my way of analogy, I grew up thinking it's the nation's capital. This is it. Busy, busy city. This is where it's happening.

0

221.067 - 222.309 Patrick Brammall

And it is the nation's capital.

0

222.329 - 222.769 Kate Langbroek

Well, it is.

Chapter 5: What was it like for Patrick to join a franchise like The Devil Wears Prada?

223.17 - 224.432 Kate Langbroek

Not many people know that, but it is.

0

224.632 - 225.153 Patrick Brammall

No, no.

0

225.173 - 244.283 Kate Langbroek

And then I moved to Sydney when I was, what, 21, like proper. And I went, oh, okay. There's actually an organic logic to the city. Like it starts at the harbour and it spreads out. And things make sense on a different – and I was like, and obviously it's a lot busier. And that's how I felt about going out.

0

244.263 - 267.361 Kate Langbroek

into Europe, into America, you know, and just going, oh, things are actually happening here. And let me add a wrinkle to that. I'm really pleased we're down here. It is such a joy for me. Like, how have I been based in LA for some years? And it's just such a joy to know that we can come back at any moment. Obviously, because of the States lately, it's just like a dumpster fire in many respects.

Chapter 6: How did Patrick and Harriet Dyer collaborate on their creative projects?

267.421 - 271.546 Kate Langbroek

And it's like, a lot of American friends are like, thank God you've got an escape hatch, you know?

0

271.586 - 272.047 Patrick Brammall

Yes.

0

272.868 - 278.755 Kate Langbroek

And I, and also don't get me wrong, I do love it over there. We've got this place in LA and we're very, very happy. We love that hood.

0

279.056 - 279.616 Patrick Brammall

Yeah.

0

279.796 - 281.118 Kate Langbroek

And the American people that we know.

281.138 - 283.421 Patrick Brammall

Where are you in LA? Gorgeous. Los Feliz?

283.441 - 288.728 Kate Langbroek

Like near Los Feliz. Yeah, right. Silver Lake. No, not Silver Lake, Atwater. Yeah, okay.

Chapter 7: What were the challenges of filming The Devil Wears Prada 2 for Patrick?

288.768 - 301.406 Kate Langbroek

So it's lovely. And it's kind of the least LA place. It's really nice. Yeah, people walk around. Like for some reason, Australians, when we go to LA, we all go to West Hollywood. I have no idea why. It's mental there. And I lived there for like a year or so.

0

301.426 - 305.151 Patrick Brammall

I always stay in West Hollywood. Yeah, why? What is it? It's the yogurt shops.

0

305.131 - 307.054 Kate Langbroek

It's the yogurt, yoga.

0

307.375 - 308.096 Patrick Brammall

Yeah, right.

308.116 - 309.478 Kate Langbroek

All the yo things.

309.498 - 317.971 Kate Langbroek

Yeah. And it's, yeah, it's really frenetic there. And then I lived there for like a year or so and then I moved out. I was like, what the hell was I doing in West fucking Hollywood?

0

317.991 - 323.96 Patrick Brammall

Why did you move? So you got together with Harry. Yeah. Harriet Dyer.

0

324.021 - 324.662 Kate Langbroek

331.332 - 332.033 Kate Langbroek

Yes.

332.013 - 334.121 Patrick Brammall

I don't understand it from her end.

334.402 - 341.306 Kate Langbroek

No one understands it from her end. No one. Yeah, well... Yeah, we got it together.

341.466 - 345.631 Patrick Brammall

You were doing that sketch comedy show. A sketch comedy show? Was it the sketch comedy show?

345.651 - 347.553 Kate Langbroek

Oh, Elegant Gentleman's Guide to Knife Fighting, that tiny one.
