Hosted by the charismatic Graham Norton, the chat show was off to an exciting start as he welcomed his guests and made a humorous remark about the rarity of having such a famous couple on the show. Blunt and Krasinski playfully referred to themselves as “Crunt,” a combination of their last names, adding a lighthearted touch to their already charming presence.
The main highlight of the episode was undoubtedly their upcoming horror film, “A Quiet Place,” which has already garnered much praise. Directed and co-written by Krasinski himself, the movie presents a unique premise that captivated the audience. Blunt took the lead in explaining the plot, describing a family who must remain as quiet as possible to avoid being hunted by otherworldly creatures with a keen sense of sound.
Surprisingly, the couple revealed that they actually practiced being silent at home, with Krasinski even taking on the role of the terrifying creature. Blunt humorously shared that her husband had never been a fan of horror movies before, but the script for “A Quiet Place” struck a chord with him due to its underlying theme of family and the lengths parents go to protect their children.
During the interview, Krasinski also opened up about his initial nervousness about directing his wife in the film. However, he expressed how this collaboration turned out to be the greatest experience of his career, witnessing Blunt’s exceptional talent and work ethic firsthand.
Of course, the conversation on the talk show wouldn’t be complete without some lighthearted moments. Norton asked Krasinski about his signature dance move, which he revealed to be the “lunge.” With the audience’s encouragement, Krasinski gave a hilarious demonstration of his dance move, aptly named the “crunt lunge.”
The episode concluded with Norton teasing Blunt about her upcoming role as Mary Poppins in the highly anticipated “Mary Poppins Returns.” Blunt expressed her excitement and admitted feeling both thrilled and terrified to step into such an iconic character. She revealed that the entire film was shot in London, making it a truly British production.
All in all, “The Graham Norton Show” featuring Emily Blunt and John Krasinski was a delightful and entertaining episode that left viewers eagerly anticipating their new film and Blunt’s portrayal of Mary Poppins. From their playful banter to their candid revelations, it was a talk show appearance that will be remembered for its charm and the candid insights shared by these brilliant celebrities.
