Emily Blunt will only do nudity if it’s really required for the plot of the film.
The 32-year-old actress claimed in an interview with Howard Stern that she opted not to shoot nude sequences for her upcoming film after listening to her own body’s advise. The ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ actress really listened to her own breasts, which may seem strange.
“[A nude scene] was originally in there, but we didn’t agree with it,” Blunt explained in the interview. When Stern questioned her on who she meant by “we,” Blunt responded, “My tits.”
Blunt said, “Benicio [Del Toro] backed me up. It was a scene between he and I. ” Stern then inquired about Blunt’s willingness to conduct a lesbian scene if it was necessary to the plot of the film.
The ‘Into the Woods’ heroine pushed hard with the filmmakers to keep her clothing in the film. Fortunately, the ‘Sicario’ makers subsequently removed the naked scenes, indicating that they were not essential for the film.
As for the intimate moments Blunt filmed, she revealed some specifics about embarrassing love scenes.
Stern asked as to whether an actor had ever been aroused while filming a love scene with her. “Once,” she confessed, without giving the unfortunate man’s identify, merely stating that he wasn’t very well-known. “I think the reaction was, we were filming and they shouted, ‘Cut,’ and I went, ‘Oop!’ and he went, ‘Oop! Sorry.’ And that was it… We laughed about it, because I don’t want him to be embarrassed. I think that would be unfair if I was like, ‘Oh my God!’”
During the discussion, Blunt also discussed how she got the idea for her role in the 2006 film “The Devil Wears Prada,” in which she portrayed Meryl Streep’s unpleasant assistant.
“I saw a mother speaking to her child in a supermarket when we were shooting that film,” she said. “And it’s a line that gets quoted back to me now where she yelled at her kid in the supermarket… and she opened and closed her hand and she goes, ‘I’m hearing this. I want to hear this.’” Blunt would later use that exact remark in a moment with Anne Hathaway.
Sicario, which also stars Josh Brolin, Blunt, and del Toro, is currently playing in US theaters and has already received positive reviews from reviewers.
Emily Blunt plays Kate Macer, an idealistic FBI agent, in the action picture directed by Denis Villeneuve. The character of ‘The Adjustment Bureau’ actress in the film demonstrates that women may excel in a male-dominated field.
Sicario will be released in UK theaters on October 8th.
