The conversation kicked off with Colbert highlighting Emily's love for horseback riding, a skill prominently featured in 'Oppenheimer'. Emily humorously recalled a scene where she and co-star Cillian Murphy engaged in a spirited canter, "I've got the camera, do you want to do gallop across the plains, and I heard Cillian go 'Um, ooh, uh.' I just left him in the dust."

The actress, who spent six months on a horse for a previous project, credited her excitement for the scene to her recent equestrian experiences.

The conversation then shifted to Emily's portrayal of Kitty Oppenheimer, a character known for her inclination towards imbibing. Colbert jokingly pointed out Kitty's drinking habits, to which Emily humorously responded, "The isolation and loneliness. What else was there to do?"

As the discussion delved into the challenges of playing an inebriated character, Emily shared her approach and the focus required to authentically convey the effects of alcohol.

"I feel like when you're really drunk, you do everything you can to pretend that you're not. It's true of not playing drunk. I think there's a certain focus that happens, but the eyes are still, and the body is not quite inside of itself. Maybe that kind of vibe."

Emily Blunt's humorous take on typecasting

The conversation took a delightful turn as Emily recounted the advice she received from the legendary Anthony Hopkins during their collaboration. She amusingly shared his simple yet effective guidance, "Don't move. Don't blink."

This insight into Hopkins' acting wisdom added a humorous touch to the conversation, with Emily jokingly suggesting that her ability to portray drunk characters might be turning into a typecast.

The highlight of the interview came when Emily discussed the close-knit relationship among the 'Oppenheimer' cast, affectionately dubbing them 'The Oppenhomies.'

Expressing genuine love for her co-stars, Emily shared the joy of being together at the Golden Globes, where the cast, according to her, was the loudest table perhaps fueled by the excitement of their victory. "It's heaven because we are pals. We really love each other. We are the Oppenhomies. We love each other so much."
