Emily Blunt Asked Her Husband To Fire You

[Fox News] Emily Blunt asked husband John Krasinski to fire another actress so she could star in A Quiet Place!

Appearing on the first episode of the new season of the UK’s The Graham Norton Show, Blunt, who stars in the horror film A Quiet Place, said she initially wasn’t interested in starring in the film and suggested a friend of hers to take the role instead.

Blunt would not name the actress but described her as a “good friend.”

The movie was directed and co-written by husband John Krasinski.

“We had just had our second child (Violet) and I was about to do Mary Poppins and so I was in a sort of general feeling of joy, I didn’t know if I wanted to go towards the darkness of the pitch that he’d given me,” she said.

With Krasinski by her side, she said she “mentioned a friend of mine” and suggested he “should call so and so.”

Krasinksi replied: “So and so was so good.”

Despite his call to the actress, Blunt said that as soon as she read the script for the film she approached her husband and said: “You need to call her and fire her.”

Blunt said she was still friends with the actress “until the movie comes out.”

    Jessica Chastain, Amy Adams or Anne Hathaway

    I just saw the movie on opening night. One of the best horror movies I’ve ever seen. It was truly terrifying to see it in the theatre, I screamed so many times it’s embarrassing!!

    Don’t know why but Amy Adams popped into my head?

    Ouch though..that’s not nice. It kinda makes me not want to see the movie anymore.

    I don’t like her. I’ve never understood her hype but more importantly I’ve seen interviews with her where she comes off as a bit snobby and full of herself.

    All I could think of is Anne Hathaway, since she worked with her in The Devil Wears Prada
