Emily Blunt reveals her children found her 'Devil Wears Prada' character ‘the meanest’
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Emily Blunt’s portrayal of the icy and high-strung assistant Emily Charlton in 'The Devil Wears Prada' may have become iconic, but to her daughters, it was a bit too 'mean'.
In a recent interview, the actress revealed that her kids, Hazel, 10, and Violet, 7, were less than thrilled by her performance in the 2006 hit film.
Emily Blunt’s daughters found her 'The Devil Wears Prada' role ‘meanest ever’
“They thought I was the meanest person they’ve ever met,” Blunt shared with Page Six about her daughters' reaction to her character. While fans adore the role and continue to quote her lines regularly, her daughters weren’t as impressed.
Blunt marveled at the lasting impact the film has had. “It’s incredible that it has such an indelible fingerprint on people,” she said. The role marked her “first big movie,” and she recalled her early surprise at its success. "I remember my agent calling me and telling me about the opening weekend,” she shared. “I was like, ‘Is that good?’ Like, I didn’t know what was good.”
Blunt and her fellow cast members, including Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Stanley Tucci, had "the time of our lives" working on the film.
While Blunt and her husband John Krasinski, both renowned actors, maintain a private family life, they’ve shared glimpses into what their daughters think of their famous parents. Earlier this year, Blunt revealed that her 2021 family-friendly film 'Jungle Cruise' was distressing for Hazel and Violet, especially the underwater peril scenes. “They started crying and left the room,” she told PEOPLE.
Blunt explained that her kids aren’t big fans of seeing her on-screen, noting, “They don't love watching me on-screen, which I understand because I'm their mommy and it's very strange to see me play someone else.”
The 'Devil Wears Prada' sequel
Fans of 'The Devil Wears Prada' may be thrilled to learn that a sequel is in the works. While Emily Blunt remained tight-lipped about details, she did express her excitement for another chance to step back into the world of high fashion. “I just wanna get some good eye makeup going again,” she joked.
She even hinted at reprising her character’s infamous stomach flu, “I’m hoping for that.”
