Womens Health Interview

Womens Health have posted a new interview with Emily in which she talks about her fitness regime! It is accompanied by a cute new photoshoot picture of Emily and Matt Damon!

To snag a coveted role opposite Matt Damon in the upcoming movie The Adjustment Bureau, actress Emily Blunt had to morph into a believable ballerina—fast. Here, she shares how she was able to slim down, tone up, and get fit in just six weeks

“It’s rather snooty in here, isn’t it?” Emily Blunt asks with a laugh as she works her way down the dimly lit hallway of a private club in Los Angeles. It’s not exactly the kind of observation you’d expect from a British actress best known for playing chicks who are—to put it frankly—stuck up (an assistant to the editor of a fashion magazine in The Devil Wears Prada, Queen Victoria in The Young Victoria). Refreshingly, in real life the charming 27-year-old—who’s dressed down in dark J Brand skinny jeans, a plaid flannel shirt, and black-framed glasses—doesn’t have much patience for pretension.

AskMen.com also have a brief new interview with Emily, check it out below.

Now, after lending her voice to the new animated comedy Gnomeo and Juliet, Blunt has become the first garden decoration to win a spot on AskMen’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women list. At a press event for the film, Blunt discussed the unpredictable life of an actress turned gnome.
Now that you’ve played a garden gnome, have you learned to appreciate them?
Emily Blunt : I’ve seen them, of course. But I don’t own one. I was always scared or creeped out by anything that resembled people — statues or dolls. They often look a little seedy or naughty and less child-friendly than the great designs we have in this film. So, I don’t have them around. I also don’t garden. I do know people who have garden gnomes of themselves in their garden. That’d be fun. I’d like one of myself, perhaps.

IndieLondon interview Emily

In a new interview with IndieLondon Emily chats about her role in Gullivers! Check it out below.

Emily Blunt talks about some getting to play a ‘girly princess’ in Gulliver’s Travels and improvising with Chris O’Dowd.

She also talks about getting to grips with green screen, mixing up her roles to balance drama with comedy, and working with Jack Black on Gulliver and Matt Damon on her next movie, The Adjustment Bureau.

Q. What was the appeal of Gulliver’s Travels for you?
Emily Blunt: It was really working with Jack Black and then I loved the script. I thought it was really charming and witty and definitely a more light-hearted version of the Jonathan Swift novel. So, I think that was an interesting take on it. I hadn’t really been a part of a family movie before and I hadn’t played anyone as girly as that before, so for those reasons I also wanted to do it.

Examiner Interview

Examiner.com have posted a great new interview with Emily, talking about The Wolf Man amongst other things! The interview has been added to the press archive, you can read it here.

How was it to working with Benicio Del Toro?
It was intense! No. He’s awesome to work with. He’s such a rare actor, in that he has a real unique approach to a scene. He’s exciting to work with, because he’s quite raw and instinctual, so you don’t really know what he will do in the scene. The scene can really take shape and it can dance and shape shift, in some ways. I love working like that because there’s a real openness, and you need a co-star who’s going to play with you in that way. He’s a great guy. We had a laugh on the movie. He’s a lot of fun. He’s a big teddy bear. People don’t know that. [She laughs.] …. Read On.

Jimmy Kimmel

Screen captures of Emily on Jimmy Kimmel have been added to the gallery.

LA Times Interview and Photoshoot

The LA Times have released a new interview and photoshoot with Emily! I’m not a huge fan of these new pictures but Emily can pull anything off so she still looks beautiful! There is also a video interview which you can watch here, screen captures are in the gallery.

Just what is it about Emily Blunt? The British beauty seems to specialize in taking borderline-unlikable characters and imparting them with unforgettable vulnerability and charm. Think of her pin-thin, prickly but ultimately terrorized fashionista in The Devil Wears Prada. Or her damaged and aimless little sister in Sunshine Cleaning.
