Emily Blunt is undoubtedly one of Hollywood’s most talented and versatile actresses. Known for her exceptional acting skills and captivating screen presence, Blunt has managed to impress audiences around the world with her performances in various film genres.
She may have outstanding acting skills, but driving is not her forte. From almost killing actor Tom Cruise while filming a car chase scene to rocketing along Sunset Boulevard, she recalled her driving skills in many interviews.
Emily Blunt Narrates What Went Wrong There
In an interview with Team Coco, Oppenheimer Star Emily Blunt remembered how she drove along Sunset Boulevard. She earlier stated that everything was perfect when she was driving in England.
“I’m good in England. I’m good on the side of the road that I’m used to,” she said.
On being asked what went wrong with her outside England, she said:
“It’s all shades of wrong. I’ve definitely had a few I had one recently where I was rocketing along sunset boulevard wondering what this strange grinding metal against concrete sound was thinking surely it’s nothing to do with me right and then I pulled into a hotel in the valet guy was like lady you got a flat and I was like oh right that’s what it was“
In another interview, Blunt talked about an instance that was hilarious and terrifying for her as she almost killed her co-star back then.
Emily Blunt ‘almost killed’ Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is renowned for his dangerous action stunts, but when he chose to step back and experience the action scenes directly; his life was almost in danger. Cruise co-starred with Emily Blunt in the 2014 movie Edge of Tomorrow, and during a car chase sequence, Blunt almost killed Cruise.
“I hear him going [quietly], ‘Brake. Brake. Brake,’” Blunt recalled of a scene that involved a tricky bit of stunt driving. (The pair did their own stunts on the film.) “‘Em, brake the car! Brake the car!’”
“And I left it too late and so drove us into a tree and I almost killed Tom Cruise,” Blunt finished.
However, it didn’t bother the duo as they closed the chapter by laughing off at that experience.
