'OPPENHEIMER' STAR EMILY BLUNT KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY THE ACTRESS ON WORKING WITH HUSBAND JOHN KRASINSKI AND WHY THEIR KIDS WON'T WATCH HER FILMS

Emily Blunt may be an A-list actress to the rest of the world, but at home with her two young daughters, she's just mum.

The British star's children with her husband of 14 years, actor and producer John Krasinski - Hazel, ten, and eight-year-old Violet don't even like watching her films, including The Devil Wears Prada and Mary Poppins Returns.

Not that Emily, 41, finds this discouraging. "I've spoken to other actors who say the same thing-your children don't like watching you.

They just don't want to see Mummy like that. It's weird for them.

"They don't like me when I put make-up on, let alone a wig or a different voice," she says, speaking at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

"There was a scene in Jungle Cruise where I'm almost drowning and they ran out of the room.

"I met one of Cate Blanchett's sons recently - an amazingly impressive young man. He goes: 'I've hardly seen any of my mum's films, and I'm sure they're very good.' Then he goes: 'So don't take it personally," she laughs.

Keeping their work in the family, Emily and her husband are well known for their hit horror movie A Quiet Place. The 2018 film was written and directed by John, 45, and the pair co-starred as husband and wife.

Yet Emily initially vetoed appearing in her partner's film. "I'd just had a baby and knew I was going off to do Mary Poppins. Also, I was nervous about working with him.
