Before becoming a renowned Hollywood actor, Stanley Tucci had his fair share of interesting gigs. In the 80s, he took on a modeling job for Levi’s jeans, and the resurfaced images of his youthful self have been making rounds on social media.

Looking nearly unrecognizable, Stanley sported a simple, sleeveless white top along with a pair of classic blue jeans. Despite not having any lines, his charisma shone through as he confidently walked towards the camera, showcasing a seductive smile and his well-toned arms.

This Levi’s commercial was just one of the stepping stones in Stanley’s career. Prior to that, he had already made his acting debut in the Broadway play, The Queen and the Rebels. Although he was paid a modest sum of $300 for his role in the commercial, Stanley’s talent and dedication eventually led him to bigger and better-paying opportunities.

Nowadays, Stanley can often be seen dressed in elegant suits, tailored to perfection. However, he hasn’t forgotten his roots and still appreciates a well-fitted pair of jeans. While his co-stars from The Devil Wears Prada are set to reunite at the SAG Awards, Stanley’s attendance remains uncertain. Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Meryl Streep will grace the stage as presenters, but there has been no mention of Stanley joining them.

In the film The Devil Wears Prada, Stanley played Nigel, one of Miranda Priestley’s trusted advisors at Runway magazine. He delivered one of the movie’s most iconic lines: “Gird your loins.” Interestingly, Stanley revealed that the final version of the line was a toned-down version from many other takes that were deemed too explicit for the film.

Apart from his successful career, Stanley finds joy in spending time with his wife Felicity Blunt and their children. They reside in their home in London, where they create lasting memories together.

Stanley is also a loving father to his children from his previous marriage. Sadly, his late wife Kate Tucci lost her battle with breast cancer in 2009.
