Emily Blunt Says Her Daughters Thought She Was the “Meanest Person” for Her ‘Devil Wears Prada’ Role….read more

Emily Blunt’s role in The Devil Wears Prada  may be iconic among fans, but her children don’t necessarily agree.

The actress recently told Page Six that her two daughters, Hazel, 10, and Violet, 7, whom she shares with husband John Krasinski found her character Emily Charlton in the 2006 film quite unpleasant.

“They thought I was the meanest person they’ve ever met,” Blunt shared of their reaction.

In The Devil Wears Prada, the actress plays a high-strung assistant at a fictional fashion magazine, Runway, opposite Meryl Streep  and Anne Hathaway

However, the film is still beloved by many, which still shocks the Oppenheimer star to this day.

“It’s incredible that it has such an indelible fingerprint on people … and it’s quoted to me every week,” she said.

Blunt also recalled having “the time of our lives” working on the David Frankel-directed comedy-drama, alongside Streep, Hathaway and Stanley Tucci.

“At the time I was young, it was my first big movie,” The Fall Guy actress said.

“I remember my agent calling me and telling me about the opening weekend.

I was like, ‘Is that good?’ Like I didn’t know what was good.”

Following its release, The Devil Wears Prada grossed a massive $326 million at the worldwide box office and earned Streep an Oscar nomination for her role as Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly.

Though Blunt’s children may not be jumping at the idea of the actress reprising her Devil Wears Prada role, it could potentially become a reality as a sequel to the 2006 film is already in development at Disney.

At this point, no deals for the cast are in place.
