‘I'VE LEARNT A LOT ABOUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT'

British-born Emily Blunt has forged an incredible life for herself in the States, living in New York with her husband, actor John Krasinski, and their two daughters, Hazel, seven, and Violet, four.

As well as being a doting mother, Emily, 38, is a hardworking actress and her latest film, Wild Mountain Thyme, is a cosy romantic drama which also stars Fifty Shades Of Grey actor Jamie Dornan. And when we speak to Emily, she says, “Jamie is endlessly funny and cool, so it was a dream to get to do this with him.”

Here, Emily reveals the lessons she learnt in lockdown and how she’s working to help children with a stutter...

The last year was tough on everyone. How did you get through it?

I tried to look towards that sense of togetherness we had as a family. There’s been no schedule and no need to be rushing out the door, grabbing school bags and lunches. When you strip all of that away, you just get to be with each other. I think that was a real discovery for me. How do you want to spend your time? That’s what I learned a lot about during the last year.

Were you scared during the pandemic?

When we had the first lockdown, everyone panicked. There was so much uncertainty – you’re dealing with all of these emotions. Once the sense of surrender comes in, you suddenly see everything and you go, “Wow, look at what matters to me. Look how lucky I am.” Being far from my parents was very painful, but I don’t think it’s been any more challenging for me than it has for anyone else.
