- [Interviewer] Do you prefer the British Office
to the American version?
[Emily gasps]
- What?
Around my waist?
- Or a little bit higher.
- So around my.
- Raise, your arms.
- Barry, how many of these have you done for Vanity Fair?
Oh my god.
- Relax.
- I'm not very relaxed.
[machine scratching]
- [Interviewer] To start off,
I'm going to ask you a series of yes questions.
- Okay.
- [Interviewer] The answer to these should all be yes.
We're going to get a baseline for your blood pressure.
- I'm sweating.
Go on.
- [Interviewer] Is your name Emily Olivia Leah Blunt?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Were you born on February 23rd?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Are you ready to take this
lie detector test?
- No.
- [Interviewer] First, we're going to start
by talking about your career.
- Okay.
- [Interviewer] Is it true you turned down
a pop record contract when you were in high school?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] If you had accepted it,
would it be fair to say
you'd be more of a Alanis Morissette than a Lady Gaga?
- No.
- [Interviewer] You would have been a Lady Gaga then?
- I would have hoped to have been a Lady Gaga.
- [Interviewer] Do you think
you would have been more successful than Lady Gaga?
- No.
- [Interviewer] What about Billie Eilish?
- No.
Who's bigger than Billie Eilish?
- [Interviewer] You've said that
you find singing in front of people
to be incredibly nerve-wracking
and yet you've sung on both film and TV.
Is being humble just an act?
- No.
- [Interviewer] Is that true, Barry?
- That is true.
- [Interviewer] Do you consider yourself
to be a talented actress?
[Emily laughs]
- Pause.
That just made me sweat.
Keep going.
- [Interviewer] Before you became an actress.
Is it true that you considered being a translator?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Are you at all jealous
of this translators career?
- No, not now.
Although I would have liked to have met him
or work with him.
Yes, I'm jealous, but no, I'm not.
I'm happy.
I made the right decision on career move, Barry.
Yep.
- [Interviewer] You were 18 when you worked with
Dame Judi Dench in a play.
- Yeah.
Yes. Correct.
- [Interviewer] At the time,
did she insist that you call her Dame Judi Dench?
- No, Judi.
- [Interviewer] Would you like to be a Dame?
- Sure.
Yeah.
- She's telling the truth.
- Dame Blunt.
It's quite nice.
- [Interviewer] You won a golden globe in 2007.
Do you know where it is right now?
- No.
It's in my mom's house.
- [Interviewer] That true?
- [Barry] That is true.
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever rewatched
your acceptance speech?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Thoughts?
- Terrible.
[Emily laughs]
Maybe the worst.
- [Interviewer] Do you rewatch a lot of your stuff
on YouTube?
- Like stuff that I've done?
- [Interviewer] Yeah.
- No.
- [Interviewer] Will you watch this?
- Yeah, I might actually.
- [Interviewer] Tom Cruise is known to send cakes
every year to all of his former costars.
Since you were his costar in Edge of Tomorrow,
does Tom Cruise send you cakes?
- I got a coconut cake this Christmas and I ate it.
- [Interviewer] You also learned Krav Maga
for Edge of Tomorrow?
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Have you kept up your practice since then?
- No.
- [Interviewer] You think you could take on
Barry in a fight?
- Yes.
- [laughs] You wish.
- I have a Superman punch that's pretty lethal
Barry so, watch out.
- [Interviewer] That the truth Barry?
- It is true that she believes that.
[Emily laughs]
- It's whether it's possible or not is another thing.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever introduced your daughters
to a celebrity, they love just to impress them.
- I introduced Hazel to Bruno Mars
and she was pretty stoked.
- [Interviewer] So, she was impressed.
- She was impressed.
- [Interviewer] Let's move on to pop culture.
- Okay.
- [Interviewer] You're a big fan of Shark Tank, right?
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] If you were on the show
and Mr. Wonderful was the only person to offer you a deal
would you accept it?
- No.
- [Interviewer] Who is your favorite shark?
- I think Laurie, right.
She's the nicest.
- [Interviewer] Do you own any items
that were on Shark Tank?
- No.
- [Interviewer] Is that true?
- [Barry] That is true.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever ordered something off of QVC?
- No.
Sorry Laurie.
[Emily laughs]
- [Interviewer] Your husband played Jim Halpert
on the Office.
- Did he?
- [Interviewer] I believe so.
- Okay.
- [Interviewer] Has John ever called you Pam by accident?
- No.
[Emily laughs]
- [Interviewer] What about Meredith?
[Emily laughs]
- No.
- [Interviewer] Do you prefer the British Office
to the American version?
- No.
- [Interviewer] Is that true?
- That is true.
- I like them equally Barry.
- [Interviewer] Your last name is Blunt?
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] So, does that mean you're 420 friendly?
- Huh, what's 420 friendly?
- [Interviewer] Are you sick of weed jokes
about your last name?
- No.
- [Interviewer] So do you mind if I make a few more?
- Go for it.
- [Interviewer] I guess I'll pass.
- Great.
- [Interviewer] Would you say the last name Blunt
is better than Krasinski?
- Yes.
That's why I kept it.
He thinks so too.
It's all right.
- [Interviewer] John has said he saw
the Devil Wears Prada more than 72 times.
Don't you think that's a little much?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever seen any of his performances
more than 72 times?
- I mean, I watched probably about 72 episodes
of the Office.
So, let's go with that.
Did you just put a strike against my,
it felt like you just did a pen move.
- I do that, to note where the question was.
- All right.
All right, Barry
- [Interviewer] This fashion week moment
of you and Blake Lively once went viral.
- Yeah. Look at us.
Oh my god.
- [Interviewer] Do you remember
what you were laughing about?
- I think I was worried that she was flashing her vagina
so it might've been something to do with that.
Zendaya doesn't look very happy though, with our jokes.
- [Interviewer] Is Blake Lively your BFF?
[Emily laughs]
- She wishes.
- [Interviewer] Are you her BFF?
- No.
Ryan is.
- [Interviewer] You've talked about your obsession
with the show Peaky Blinders.
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Would you say
you find that accent attractive?
- Yeah, I do.
- [Interviewer] As you're a master of accents yourself.
- Oh.
- [Interviewer] You think you could do a Birmy accent?
- No.
[Barry laughs]
- [Interviewer] Would you say that the paparazzi
is the worst part of being famous?
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] That true?
- [Barry] That is.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever sworn at a paparazzi?
- No.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever said no
to a fan's request for a selfie?
- Yes.
If I'm with my kids.
- [Interviewer] Since you're not with your kids
if Barry were to ask you.
- Barry's getting one.
- [Barry] Thank you.
[Emily laughs]
- [Interviewer] Let's move on to the final category,
which is your life.
- Okay.
[Emily laughs]
- [Interviewer] Let's be serious.
- Okay. I'm sorry.
But I'm doing well.
So, I'm like totally relaxed now.
- [Interviewer] Would you say she's doing well, Barry?
- She's doing well so far.
- So far.
Okay, but life stuff gets a bit more personal.
So, I'm a little bit scared.
Go on.
- [Interviewer] You were born in London, England.
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Would you say that the stereotype
of Brits having a stiff upper lip is accurate.
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Do you have a stiff upper lip?
- No.
- [Interviewer] You don't sound very convinced.
- I think maybe I've adapted to American ways a little bit.
Maybe I enthuse more readily now.
- [Interviewer] Are you at all interested
in the happenings of the British Royal family?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Oh, so really interested.
- Not really interested.
- [Interviewer] Somewhat interested.
- Somewhat interested.
- [Interviewer] Now that she stepped down
from her Royal duties.
Are you worried about encountering this woman in auditions?
[Emily laughs]
- Who wouldn't, right.
She's a knockout.
We were just talking this morning
about how beautiful she was and cool.
Yeah, I'd be worried.
- [Interviewer] Your brother-in-law is Stanley Tucci.
Does that mean you're part of the Tucci gang?
- The Tucci gang.
Is that the SNL thing?
I'm not a Tucci.
- [Interviewer] You could still be a part of the gang.
- Can I?
I'd love to be a part of the gang.
I'm in.
- [Interviewer] Stanley met your sister
at your wedding and they ended up getting married.
So, would you consider yourself to be a matchmaker?
- No, I had no intention on them matching.
They just found each other at the wedding.
- [Interviewer] So, did you try and fight it?
- No.
- [Interviewer] You got married on George Clooney's estate
in Italy.
Is George as charming as he seems?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Really?
- Really, really.
- [Barry] Really.
- [Interviewer] Do you like the taste of Casamigos tequila?
[Emily laughs]
- I have others that I prefer.
- [Interviewer] Do you like Casamigos,
as much as Ryan Reynolds, Aviation gin.
- I haven't tried Aviation gin
and I think last time I drank gin,
I drank too much of it.
And I found that I went to bed, not in the best mood.
So I think I'm going to stick with Casamigos.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever considered starting
your own alcohol brand?
- No.
- [Interviewer] In a Quiet Place,
your and John's characters dance to Harvest Moon
by Neil Young.
Is that your song?
- Like he and I song?
It is not.
- [Interviewer] Do you have a song?
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Is that private?
- Yes.
[Barry laughs]
- [Interviewer] In a 2019 interview,
you vowed to learn the ukulele.
- Yes I did.
- [Interviewer] Are you any good?
- I'm okay.
Not great.
- [Interviewer] Are your daughters impressed?
- No.
They told me to stop playing.
So, that's why I kind of am not great.
- [Interviewer] Did you lie at any point
during this lie detector test?
- No.
- [Interviewer] You're 100% honest.
- Yes.
- She has passed the lie detector test.
- Nailed it.
[Emily laughs]
[crowd clapping]
Come on now.
- Miss Blunt,
can we take that selfie now?
