Emily Blunt has recently shared a rare glimpse into her collaborative chemistry with her husband, John Krasinski, during the 2025 Women in Hollywood Celebration issue of ELLE. The actress, who tied the knot with John in 2010 and is the proud parent of two children, has revealed the secret to keeping their marriage strong amidst the intense pressures of a shared professional life.
Blunt, who starred alongside her husband in the hit 2018 film A Quiet Place, where they played an on-screen couple struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, praises her husband with a hint of wonder. "I don't think he knew what he was capable of," she says. "It's like watching someone discover a superpower—it was wild." The 42-year-old actress's words paint a picture of her husband's unexpected prowess and confidence in his abilities.
Recalling their pre-production days for A Quiet Place, Blunt recalls her initial trepidation. "I was like, 'Look, I'm thrilled to be doing this with you, but do you know how to shoot this movie? Because I don't know how to shoot a movie. So, I'm just asking.'" Krasinski's response was a mix of confidence and humor as he replied, "I think I do know how to shoot it. I don't know why, but I think I do." The actress admits that the thought of her husband thinking she was truly unprepared would have been a nightmare.
Blunt also admits that their mutual respect was paramount to the success of their collaboration on A Quiet Place. "If we didn't respect each other after that movie, it would have been an absolute disaster," she says. The actress's words underscore the importance of mutual trust and admiration in any partnership, especially one as intense as that of a shared film project.
