Emily Blunt’s role as the harassed PA in The Devil
Wears Prada is beloved by fans, but her children don’t share the same
opinion. The actress has revealed that her daughters, Hazel (10) and Violet (7)
found her character Emily Charlton quite unpleasant. “They thought I was the
meanest person they’ve ever met,” Blunt said. of their reaction.
In the 2006 box office hit, grossing $326 million
worldwide, Emily portrayed a demanding assistant at the fictional fashion
magazine, Runway, alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.
While Blunt’s children may not be fans, the movie remains
a fan favourite, which still surprises the Oppenheimer star. “It’s
incredible that it has such an indelible fingerprint on people… and it’s quoted
to me every week,” she said.
Emily, who is married to The US Office star and
director of A Quiet Place John Krasinski, fondly remembered working on
the David Frankel-directed comedy-drama with co-stars Streep, Hathaway, and
Stanley Tucci. “We had the time of our lives,” she recalled.
It was Emily’s first big movie and she admitted tshe didn’t
fully grasp the significance of the film’s success. “I remember my agent
calling me about the opening weekend, and I didn’t even know if it was good!”
she said.
Blunt could potentially return to the role, as a sequel
is reportedly in development at Disney, though no cast deals have been
confirmed yet.
