Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy recently appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show, where they discussed their experiences working together and their upcoming projects. The talk show, hosted by Jonathan Ross, is known for its entertaining and lively interviews with celebrities.
During the interview, Emily Blunt revealed that she and her family had been living in Brooklyn since August, as she is currently filming in New York. She also mentioned how her children, despite being very American, start to sound British and enjoy British foods like curry and Marmite. Blunt shared that she is proud of her children’s British influences, although they sometimes poke fun at her accent.
Blunt also spoke highly of working with Judy Dench in a play early in her career, noting that Dench taught her not to take things too seriously in the industry. She shared a personal anecdote about seeking Dench’s advice when feeling pressured into pursuing a singing career, and how Dench’s response helped her make the decision to follow her own path.
The conversation shifted to their shared love of horror films. Blunt discussed her movie “A Quiet Place” and its sequel, where she navigates a world where making noise can mean death. She described the challenges of filming with a baby, sharing a funny incident when the baby remained unusually calm despite being supposed to cry in a scene. Blunt expressed her admiration for her co-star Cillian Murphy and how she was a fan of his work in “Peaky Blinders.”
Speaking of Murphy, Blunt mentioned that they had gone out for dinner in Dublin and were recognized by a bachelorette party dressed as characters from “Peaky Blinders.” She jokingly admitted that she initially found it strange, but understood the fascination with his distinctive look.
The interview also touched on Blunt’s upcoming movie “Jungle Cruise,” which she made with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Blunt expressed her excitement about the film and shared an amusing story about Johnson’s personal gym, known as the “Iron Paradise,” which he sets up in a rental house during filming. Blunt humorously revealed her attempt to convince Johnson to let her use the gym.
Wrapping up the interview, Blunt mentioned that her children didn’t particularly enjoy watching her movies or seeing her in anything other than sweatpants. She jokingly shared that they prefer to watch “Mary Poppins” because of Julie Andrews. Blunt’s modesty and down-to-earth demeanor throughout the interview endeared her to the audience.
