Stanley Tucci says he discovered his thyroid ‘was non-functioning' while filming in Italy last year
On a recent episode of 'David Tennant Does a Podcast With…,' the 'Conclave' star described feeling 'so tired in the afternoon' while filming episodes of his 'Searching For Italy' show last year.
'Like completely exhausted by one o'clock and I was like, 'something's wrong with me,'' Tucci added.
He said he proceeded to get a blood test that revealed that his 'thyroid was non-functioning.'
Tucci explained that he and his doctors then tried to discern what was causing the issue, ruling out stress, cholesterol or other possible factors.
'What happened was because I had radiation six, seven years ago, it burned out my thyroid,' Tucci said.
In 2021, the actor revealed he had been treated for a tumor at the base of his tongue three years prior, which involved high-dose radiation and chemotherapy.
This week, he said that his oncologist informed him that delayed thyroid issues can sometimes happen as a result of the treatment he received, and that he now takes medication which has 'made a huge difference.'
Elsewhere in the podcast, Tucci reflected on mortality and aging, saying that it leaves him feeling 'a hundred percent sad, (and) a hundred percent motivated,' adding that 'there's a letting go.'
'That can be a good thing, but that can also just be, let it go,' the actor said. 'Do you know what I mean? It's alright. You're never going to have that thing. That's never going to work for you. That's gone.'

Meryl Streep Accidentally Recreates Met Gala Meme While Filming 'Devil Wears Prada 2'
It looks like Meryl Streep accidentally stumbled her way into recreating a Met Gala-inspired meme while filming 'The Devil Wears Prada' sequel in New York on Friday. During a scene, the Oscar-winner was photographed falling on the steps of New York's Natural History Museum in what looked to be a real-life stand-in for Vogue's highly exclusive annual benefit. In the snaps, a red gown-clad Streep was bowled over in laughter while co-star Stanley Tucci looked on, flanked by extras in couture. The spill appeared to be unscripted, since no similar shots were caught in rehearsal photos from earlier in the day. While Streep's slip looked to be an on-set accident, the moment bears a striking resemblance to a long-running internet joke that pops up every Met season. Each May, social media resurrects a viral photo of a man in a white suit tumbling down a red carpet staircase, falsely claiming it shows Jason Derulo taking a spill at the 2015 gala. Despite the meme's perennial popularity, and endless jokes about Derulo's alleged clumsiness, the photo isn't of him at all. In fact, Derulo wasn't even at the Met Gala that year (or any year, for that matter.) Back when the bit was born in 2015, internet sleuths at HuffPost tracked down the image's true origin: a misstep during the Cannes Film Festival in 2011. And the mystery man in white? Still unknown. The highly-anticipated 'Devil Wears Prada 2' will see Streep return as eternally aloof magazine queen Miranda Priestly, a character which has long been believed to be a stand-in for Vogue's former editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour. Anne Hathaway will reprise her original role, now playing a chicer, older and wiser version of journalist Andy Sachs. Related...

The First Look at Meryl Streep and Simone Ashley's ‘Devil Wears Prada 2' Gala Dresses Is Here
THE RUNDOWN A sequel to The Devil Wears Prada wouldn't be complete without a scene at some version of the Met Gala. Luckily, the movie filmed their take on the iconic fashion event on Friday, August 1, at the Museum of Natural History. Photos from the set show Meryl Streep dressed as her character, Miranda Priestly, wearing her idea of a perfect red carpet ensemble. Naturally, it's stunning. In the new behind-the-scenes images, Streep can be seen posing with Stanley Tucci, playing Nigel, wearing a rich red gown with an asymmetrical neckline, one long sleeve, and a dramatic full skirt. She had her short platinum hair swept back and wore statement earrings with red and white jewels and a red stone ring. Tucci wore a black tux with a polka dot bowtie and a long black and white scarf. Bridgerton's Simone Ashley, who plays a new character in The Devil Wears Prada 2, was also seen on set in a sculptural take on the little black dress. The skin-tight ensemble featured sheer panels across her torso and an elevated neckline of netted fabric decorated with black rhinestones. She accessorized with a small black purse, hair ornaments, and shimmering tights. Ashley's character details have been kept under wraps so far. Aside from Streep and Tucci, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt are returning for the sequel, and new cast members reportedly include Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet, Kenneth Branagh, Tracie Thomas, B.J. Novak, and Justin Theroux. Hathaway recently spoke about returning to the world of DWP with WWD. The star is also reprising her role in the upcoming The Princess Diaries 3. 'I was so beautifully cared for on both of those films,' she said of her experience as a young actress on set in the original movies. 'I was so guided and looked after and cared for by the communities that made both of those films in particular, each of their directors, Garry Marshall and David Frankel.' She added, 'I'm so excited that now I can do that for other people, that now I have the knowledge and the experience and the confidence to take care of other people on sets in which I'm looked at as a leader.'

A definitive ranking of Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep's The Devil Wears Prada 2 outfits so far
Gird your loins, filming for The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially underway. Almost 20 years after the 2006 film was first released, OG stars including Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci have been spotted on set for the movie's sequel, alongside a few new faces to the franchise, too – hello, Simone Ashley! With the release scheduled for May 1, next year, we'll have to wait a little longer for more information on exactly what the plot will centre on. But, if there's one thing we can rely on, it's surely plenty of stand-out style moments. After all, the costumes for the original film reportedly cost $1million. While Patricia Fields won't be returning as costume designer, Molly Rogers, who worked with Fields on The Devil Wears Prada and Sex and the City, will be taking the reins this time around. And, if initial on-set photos of the cast are anything to go by, we're in for more of the same high-fashion feast. Fingers crossed for another Andy Sachs outfit montage! Below, find all the cast's looks from The Devil Wears Prada 2 so far, loosely categorised in order of 'worthy of the pages of Runway' to err, not. Luckily, we haven't quite seen lumpy blue sweater territory yet. Of course, Emily Charlton tops the list! Blunt is reprising the iconic role and looking better than ever in a Wiederhoeft pinstripe corset top layered over a Dior white shirt and paired with Jean Paul Gaultier wide-leg trousers. A D-Journey bag and black sunglasses, also by Dior, complete the look. We might not know her character's name yet, but whoever she is, she is slaying in this Monse tapestry mini with leather harness straps worn over a white button-down shirt. Black knee-high socks and patent leather Giuseppe Zanotti Raquel heels completed the look. The devil, herself. Miranda was chic AF in a beige Sa Su Phi single-breasted coat, a white blouse, navy trousers and Jacquemus slingback heels in ruby red, natch. She accessorised with a Mark Cross clutch bag and her trademark sunnies, these from Tiffany & Co. Putting her own spin on pinstripes, Anne Hathaway was in full Andy Sachs mode, donning vintage Jean Paul Gaultier. This archival pinstripe waistcoat and trousers was accessorised with yet more vintage in the form of Coach's black leather Saddle Pouch bag, along with pointed-toe block-heel boots and a gold diamond T-bar pendant necklace by Jemma Wynne. Nothing is more elegant than head-to-toe white, consider Andy's Phoebe Philo asymmetric hem T-shirt, Nili Lotan white barrel-leg jeans and Prada Modellerie heels as proof. Her vintage Coach briefcase features repeatedly; it's set to become a supporting actor at this rate. We couldn't not include Nigel in this round-up. Portrayed by Stanley Tucci, the character was spotted on set looking as dapper as we'd expect from one of Runway's leading fashion authorities. Is it just us, or is this Gabriela Hearst red waistcoat worn over a pinstripe navy button-down maxi dress giving more Ella Enchanted than Andy Sachs? Obsessed with the addition of croc-embossed leather knee-high Paris Texas boots. Ms. Priestley's pale grey oversized blazer and coordinating midi skirt is nothing short of elegant sophistication. Grey block heel court shoes and silver jewellery complete the monotone dressing trend. Andy's Sacai white cropped shirt and pleated cargo midi skirt are a little bit Americana prepster, a little bit Y2K. She accessorised with Gabriela Hearst braided heels, Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses and the same Jemma Wynne necklace. Giving Andy off-duty, the character stepped out in a Re/Done denim zip-up boilersuit with Chanel dad sandals on her feet and a Valentino Garavani Panthea black leather bag slung over her shoulder. Another office ensemble, this time consisting of a navy pinstripe blazer, navy V-neck knit, belted tailored wide-leg trousers, block-heel boots and her beloved vintage Coach satchel. We're loving seeing more casual looks from Andy, dressed here in a white Toteme tank top under a black waistcoat, an Agolde light-wash denim maxi skirt, black Chanel dad sandals and Bvlgari sunglasses. Providing an expert lesson in pattern-clashing, Nigel pairs three (!!) different check prints together in this outfit. His geometric tie adds yet another pattern into the mix, and yet this whole look just works. For her first day on set, Miranda was spotted in a peach trench coat, purple satin blouse, brown leather midi skirt and tan almond-toe court shoes. Andy's wardrobe is nailing corporate-core, especially this slate grey trouser suit and black ruched blouse combo. Our eyes were admittedly first drawn to this Gabriela Hearst multi-colour patchwork dress (I mean, how could they not be?), worn with a woven bucket hat, Bvlgari sunglasses and Chloé platform sandals. But, is that a Runway-branded garment bag nestled next to her blue Fendi basket bag? Giving some suggestion at the timeline of the film, Andy sported an autumnal ensemble of a Ralph Lauren brown suede jacket, turn-up Levi's jeans and snakeprint Zadig & Voltaire boots. As well as the Sabina Savage blue printed silk scarf, she further accessorised with a Valentino Garavani Nellcôte suede fringed shoulder bag.
