JUST A REGULAR MUM, EMILY PREFERS THE QUIET LIFE
LET ME BE BLUNT We don't say the famous word in my house!

She’s been called funny, clever, classy and smart. Just don’t call Emily Blunt famous!

Since becoming mum to her daughters Hazel, seven, and Violet, four, life has been practically perfect in every way for the Mary Poppins Returns actress.

In addition to her obvious star status, her marriage to The Office actor John Krasinski has gone from strength to strength, she has continued to scoop acting gongs galore and, unlike many actresses before her, she isn’t dreading her looming 40th birthday as the beginning of the end of her career.

There’s no denying she’s enjoying her success. But despite her Hollywood A-list status, Emily has no intention of letting her kids know she’s a celebrity.

“Hazel came home the other day and goes, ‘Are you famous?’” tells Emily, who shot to fame in 2006 as neurotic fashion assistant Emily Charlton in The Devil Wears Prada.

“We’ve never said that word in our house. We don’t talk about it. Someone at school had clearly said it. “I was like, ‘Um… not really. I don’t think I am …’

“I don’t want my kids to feel any more important or special, or that there’s a glare on them, any more than other kids. If they can remain oblivious for the longest time, I’d be thrilled!”

Life certainly changed forever for Emily after her success on The Devil Wears Prada and it changed dramatically again in 2008 when she met John, who is also a director, producer and screenwriter.
