Emily Blunt: ‘Actresses still think they have to be super-thin’

Emily Blunt: ‘Actresses still think they have to be super-thin’

Emily Blunt has a little quote to share:

“I think actresses still think they have to be super-thin. There are actors who can turn up on the set 30lbs overweight and no one bats an eyelid. If a girl did that, they’d tell you to get in the gym, so I don’t think it’s changed that much. Actors can get away with a lot more because they can cover it up more.”

At the same time, Emily Blunt would love the change to gain weight for a role:

“I’d love to get fat. I’d eat everything in sight! Matt Damon said for ‘The Informant’ he was in heaven every day eating fried chicken and burgers and carbonara. That idea sounds very nice to me. It would be worth having to lose it afterwards for four months of eating like that.”

… says Emily Blunt in OK Magazine.

Emily Blunt On Kissing Matt Damon In ‘The Adjustment Bureau’

Emily Blunt On Kissing Matt Damon In ‘The Adjustment Bureau’

Emily Blunt laughed when she had to kiss Matt Damon. By the time their love scene came up on the schedule for ‘The Adjustment Bureau’, the pair had become fast friends. Imagine having to make out with a close buddy  while a group of strangers watched.

“It comes with the job. By the time Matt and I had become friends and I had got to know his wife Lucy, I laughed the whole time, because it’s so embarrassing to kiss somebody who is your friend.”

Emily Blunt also told Style that one of her passions is cooking:

“I love to cook and I love to eat. I make a great Thai green curry and a great roast chicken. “I do it all the time. Obsessively. It relaxes me and I get zenned out. I go into a meditative state and I don’t want anyone helping me.”

But cooking lavish meals and indulging in sweets was not something Emily Blunt could do while filming her latest movie. She had to get really thin for the role which meant LOTS of gym time.

“When I did ‘The Adjustment Bureau’ last year, I had to get really thin again and it was hell. I had to get ripped at the gym.”

Actors really have a lot of dedication in that department. Imagine having to beef up or really slim down with a deadline?

Emily Blunt Doesn’t Want to Look Like Barbie

On the (excessive) use of Photoshop:

‘I don’t like it when they stretch you out and make you all long and skinny.

‘It makes you look like a Barbie. Who the hell looks like that?’

… says Emily in Elle Magazine.
