Emily Blunt: Kissing Some Of Her Co-Stars Made Her Sick
Emily Blunt has kissed some of the world’s hottest actors, but some of her co-stars gave her the ick. The Devil Wears Prada alum was asked in a new interview if there were any actors that made her want to throw up.
Blunt Gets Blunt About Kissing Some of Her Co-Stars
Surprisingly and hilariously, the British actress, 41, admitted, “Absolutely, absolutely… I wouldn’t say it’s extreme loathing, but I’ve definitely not enjoyed some of it.” Blunt has kissed the following actors in some steamy makeout scenes: Jon Bernthal in Sicario, Jamie Dornan in Wild Mountain Thyme, Dwayne Johnson in Jungle Cruise, Matt Damon in The Adjustment Bureau, Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow, Chris Pine in Into The Woods, Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer, Jason Segel in The Five-Year Engagement, and most recently, Ryan Gosling in The Fall Guy.
Notably, she also smooched with Colin Firth in Arthur Newman. In an interview with CNN, Blunt praised Firth’s skills and dubbed him a top-3 kisser.
In her new interview, though, the mother of two says that what keeps her committing to kissing scenes in projects is to “find something I love about everybody,” even if it’s one thing. Whether it’s a nice laugh or how they speak to people, politeness, or something completely random, the award-winning actress finds something to keep her composure and professionalism.
Blunt has been acting professionally since 2001, in a stage production of The Royal Family, then landed a role as Catherine Howard in the television miniseries Henry VIII (2003). On the subject of chemistry between her and her co-stars, she says she’s been acting so long, “I could have chemistry with this water bottle at this point. You know how to conjure it. But it’s just easier when you have a natural rapport with someone.”
As for her latest role with Gosling in the action-comedy The Fall Guy, she said her connection with the Barbie star was real. She gushed about Gosling and said, “I feel like I’m very lucky to be friends with a gem of a person like him.” The film was recently released in theaters and will eventually make its way to streaming on Peacock.
Blunt just doesn’t seem to have good luck with kissing. Two years ago, while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she recalled her horrible first kiss experience.
