Actress Emily Blunt recently shared a significant personal revelation regarding a relationship that profoundly shaped her, noting it was not with her husband, John Krasinski. The disclosure came during a comprehensive interview with The Wall Street Journal, where Blunt also delved into her highly anticipated return for "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and offered insights into her dynamic with co-star Meryl Streep.
The Wall Street Journal announced the interview, stating, > "Emily Blunt reveals the one relationship that taught her the most about herself—and it isn't her husband, John Krasinski. In the full interview, the actress discusses returning to 'The Devil Wears Prada' nearly 20 years later, why Meryl Streep never gives advice and more." This exclusive discussion provides a rare glimpse into the acclaimed actress's personal and professional life.
Blunt is reprising her breakout role as Emily Charlton in "The Devil Wears Prada 2," a sequel that has generated considerable buzz among fans. The original 2006 film, where Blunt played the caustic first assistant to Miranda Priestly, was a critical and commercial success, and her return alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway is a key highlight of the new production. The sequel is set for release nearly two decades after the original.
During the Wall Street Journal interview, Blunt also touched upon her working relationship with the legendary Meryl Streep, noting that Streep "never gives advice." This comment offers a subtle insight into Streep's professional approach, suggesting a focus on leading by example rather than direct instruction. Blunt has previously spoken about her initial intimidation by Streep on the set of the first film, remarking that Streep "birthed me into this industry."
Beyond her iconic fashion film role, Blunt has had a busy period, recently receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 30, 2026, alongside her brother-in-law Stanley Tucci. She has also been promoting her new sci-fi adventure film, "Disclosure Day," and is slated to begin filming the next installment of "A Quiet Place," a franchise she stars in with and is directed by her husband, John Krasinski. Her candid reflections in the interview underscore her evolving career and personal growth.
