With her impressive range and depth, Blunt continues to prove herself as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stars in various genres, from drama to thriller to horror.
Emily Blunt’s seamless transition between genres, effortlessly moving from drama to comedy to action, has established her as one of Hollywood’s most coveted stars. Her acting prowess is only matched by her charming and down-to-earth personality, endearing her to fans both on and off the screen. However, she believes The Devil Wears Prada wasn’t her breakthrough role.
Emily Blunt Credits Her Husband For Her Success
During an interview with Harper’s Baazar, Emily Blunt was asked about a moment in her career that changed her life. To everyone’s surprise, it wasn’t The Devil Wears Prada, where she appeared alongside the veteran actress Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. The actress credited her launch to stardom to A Quiet Place, which was directed by her husband, John Krasinski.
“Well there’s been career moments that have been really impactful and then there’s career moments that have been very game changing, like I remember when Devil Wears Prada came out and it was like an overnight shift between people wanting to meet for stuff. So that was a bit of a game changer because everyone saw it and everyone loved it,” Blunt said.
Emily Blunt fondly recalls the premiere of A Quiet Place at South by Southwest, where only a handful of people had seen the film, and it was made on a limited budget. John Krasinski, the director, was uncertain about its reception.
“I also remember the Quiet Place premiere at South by Southwest and like 10 people had seen it and the film was made for no money and and John [Krasinski] had no idea how it was going to be received. And I just will never forget that premiere which has blew the doors off the place and it was what started this ripple effect and this kind of quick fire thing that happened of the anticipation of the film coming out. That was crazy!”
