In a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, actress Emily Blunt appeared as a guest and had a hilarious and insightful conversation with host James Corden and her co-star Jonathan Majors. The episode aired on an undisclosed date.
Blunt, who stars in the new show “The English,” shared some exciting details about her latest project. “The English” is a western series where Blunt plays a character named Lady Cornelia Lock. She described her character as a fish out of water seeking revenge for her child’s death in the wild west.
Blunt’s co-star, Jonathan Majors, also joined in on the fun. Majors, who recently won an Emmy Award, discussed his experience shooting the show “White Lotus” during the early stages of the pandemic. He expressed gratitude for the recognition and celebrated the night with his fellow castmates.
The conversation then took an amusing turn as Corden brought up Majors’ recent appearance on the cover of Men’s Health magazine. Corden congratulated him on his extraordinary physique and asked about his strict diet. Majors jokingly revealed that he had been eating nothing but chicken and rice for a long time, but he was eagerly looking forward to indulging in a cheat meal during Thanksgiving.
Blunt couldn’t help but tease Majors for his strict diet and cleanse routines, expressing her disinterest in hearing about people’s dietary habits. However, she playfully acknowledged the pressure Majors felt while training for the magazine cover shoot, taking the opportunity to discuss the various poses men often strike in men’s magazines. From the classic bicep push to checking cufflinks and gazing off into the distance, Blunt hilariously dissected the stereotypical poses.
Corden then admitted that Blunt herself has been on the cover of Women’s Health magazine, and even her husband, John Krasinski, has graced the cover of Men’s Health. Blunt jokingly questioned whether Krasinski’s appearance was the result of Photoshop or an auction prize. Majors chimed in, adding that Krasinski doesn’t even look like himself on the cover.
Amidst the laughter, Blunt revealed her favorite magazine pose when doing a photoshoot – the “being in the moment” pose. She described it as a way to appear natural and engaged while piercing the camera with a meaningful gaze. Blunt playfully emphasized that she doesn’t flex her muscles like men on Men’s Health covers do.
The conversation then circled back to “The English,” where Blunt disclosed the presence of real wolves on set during the production in Spain. She recounted how the crew was advised to show their hands to the wolves to ensure they had no food. However, one unfortunate crew member, the craft service guy, had not been informed about the wolves and ended up losing all the sandwiches when the wolves raided the catering table.
Despite the sandwich mishap, Blunt expressed her enthusiasm for the show and the incredible cast involved.
With entertaining banter and hilarious anecdotes, Emily Blunt‘s appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden was a delightful and captivating conversation. Fans can look forward to seeing her in the thrilling western series, “The English.”
