Blunt by name, blunt by nature. British actress Emily Blunt, 41, is talented, charming, and one of the most in-demand actresses right now. She’s also incredibly honest, and gives credit where credit is due. Here, the star of The Fall Guy tells us about improvising some of the film’s best lines, her character Jody Moreno and, of course, everything about her on-screen love interest and real-life good mate, Ryan Gosling.
You choose your projects carefully. What appealed to you about The Fall Guy?
When this project came to me, it came with the names of [director] David Leitch and Ryan Gosling, so I knew that I would be signing onto the promise of something completely rare, exciting and stylistic, yet grounded. I just love David’s movies; I love the flare and the madness of them. And I’m such a huge fan of Gosling!
